    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 3:1-13

    Paul calls the inclusion of the gentiles into God’s kingdom people by the proclamation of the gospel a mystery that was not revealed until Christ. Even though Paul is a great sinner, he gets to proclaim the unfathomable riches of Christ, administering the mystery that was hidden for so long—the gospel for the gentiles. We…

  • Confessions

    “I am now an old man locked in chains. I will never forget the day when the tribals rose up and took this world. A woman led them and, because of my own pride, was able to overtake my people. They killed us all, even put a bullet in my brain, but as I described…

  • Contemplating the Cosmos: Standing on the Shoreline

                I stand outside and look at the stars with wonder, noting the great complexity of systems and the great emptiness within the cosmos that I have read about.

  • Discovering Agartha

    Just wanted to share another developing idea in the area of fiction with you all! Enjoy =).             “Oh my…” One short, balding, and older archeologist brushed the dust off of a bronze plate with his foot, “Leon, you must see this. It is exquisite.” A bold looking young man with black, lengthy hair turned…

  • Serpent’s Mist

    A young girl and her father were spending the cool afternoon together sailing a small boat off the coast of New York. Hearing something in the water, the young girl moved toward the edge of the boat, “Daddy, why is the water doing that?” Her father tied the rope he was holding to the side…

  • The Vineyard.

    I turned as all movement and noise outside my father’s shop ceased. Everyone outside was looking toward the edge of town. My curiosity took control as I moved to exit the shop, and what I saw I will never forget. Colton and Amanda came walking down the street, cloths torn and covered in bruises and…
