"When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. 4 You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without [...]

What Is A Good Life?
The American culture is one that is driven by materialism and consumerism . The ads, the stores at every corner, and people saying, “You need this in your life!” is over and underwhelming. Overwhelming because if we are not able to get this certain product we are not being successful. It's also underwhelming because it's [...]
Love Like Jesus
Loving the way Jesus loves is something that we are taught from the beginning of our journey with Christ. It is something that is imprinted on our hearts and we spend our entire lives trying to do, but heavily struggle with. Loving the way Jesus does used to confuse me. I never really new what [...]
I am the Desert. Jesus is the Water.
Rejection is something that scares us all. We all want to be accepted, loved, cared for, and known. We crave these things, and search for them so desperately throughout the world, but nothing ever seems to suffice.

He walked this earth sharing the good news of eternal life filled with pure love and joy and people still wanted Him gone. The [...]
A Head Full Of Dreams
We are all on this earth for a specific purpose. We are here because the Lord has something that He needs to be completed, changed, or invented. He puts these dreams, ideas, and desires in our hearts and intertwines them with our souls so we will go after them, but not everybody goes after these things. Now some [...]
Live A Secretly Incredible Life
Living a secretly incredible life is a beautiful way to live. It is the way Jesus lived, and it is the way He wants us to live. Think about it...He never boasted about the incredible actions he did. In fact when he would heal and forgive the sick he would tell them, "Don't tell anyone." [...]
