    My First Publication (For Real)

    Why Should We Wait On God? Last month I was inspired by God to write and submit an article to The Rebelution, a site founded by Christian author Brett Harris. He also runs my writing program, the Young Writer’s Workshop. Well, I didn’t expect anything to come out of it right away…but it was accepted! All glory to God, but… (Keep Reading)

    Those Who Live Without Love

    Today is an important day. As a Christian, this particular Friday holds a very special importance for me. And that’s because, 2000 years ago, Jesus gave His life for us on this day.

    A Word, Please

Jesus Himself said in John 16:33, “In this world you will have trouble.” Maybe this isn’t very reassuring. “So I’m supposed to struggle, be anxious, and have a life wracked with trauma?” No. The verse goes on to say, “But take heart!

  • The Line Between

    The Line Between

    Have you ever looked at a tombstone? If you have, you’ll have noticed that below the deceased person’s name, there are two dates. The year of their birth, and the year of their death. What you’ve probably never noticed (and indeed I never did until a pastor at my church talked about it) is what’s between those dates. (Keep Reading)
