These beautiful trees
Fruit from my labour
Rest under knees
Choir birds meet

An amazing man of God passed away recently. Check out the last post on his blog and the video I’ll post with this.
Makes me tear up to be honest…

Take Hold of Me
I can see all things
Dearly wish it wasn’t so
Swimming out of depth
Rescue me from undertow
All things I know
How I wish it wasn’t so
Hold my face lean me close
All your words release your breath
In your promise I receive my strength
Good God
Hearing the voice of God is peace inducing, affirming, and a call to strength. He turns anger to resolution, pain to promise, and insecurity to identity. Ask God to just show you something, he will give revelation.

The Graft
Romans 11:19-21- You will say then, “branches have been broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
We are saved by grace and grace alone. Sometimes I feel
That among Christians, there is a sense...

Getting rocked by the book of Romans at the moment!
…”their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”…
Wow
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,...

The Call To Love
A great article and reminder. You are nothing without love
The call to love. Jesus emphasized over and over again that the most important thing or doctrine that we should place over every other (the first and greatest commandment) is “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and love your neighbor as Christ has loved you”. We have all heard that our entire...

RELEVANT Magazine - A Defense of Skepticism →
A great article, I am sick of Christians who think critical thinking amounts to a lack of faith, I believe it is more dangerous to believe everything you are told at church than to be skeptical.
Why I think making marriage lists is bad for you
I see and hear about it time and time again, Christians having “lists” about what they want in a partner. I believe this is one of the most absurd things we have in “Christian culture” and one that I consider often destructive.
Hypothetically if someone is going to wait for God to answer their every request on their list, I suppose he could do it, but the person may have to wait 20 years as God...
Breach walls blue body
Crash high mighty deep pure death
Treasures dreamed be seen
On ocean light glow
Summer day drink salt sea dreams
Set heart wide and sail

Spiritual bureaucrats. No thanks. Take your legalism elsewhere

Yesterday and tomorrow
Let others follow
Tightrope over chasm
Over sea
Over unknown
In shadow
In gully
In fire
Joys and sorrow
Like children fighting lost hands
Good fighting man
Colours my eyes imagination
Shades each step fear
See it born dear
Let others follow
Yesterday and tomorrow
Joys and sorrow

The Speed of Summer
The last of their summer arrived and the world and its wonders felt distant. Like warmth leaving their season’s skin to question if they were ever in the sun at all. Pink clouds that consisted barely a breath wandered carelessly towards the sea and slowly dissipated, leaving an open blue horizon cut with white jet streams from far passing planes. As they walked their hands glided across grass and...
Trust
Trusting in God is not an abstract Christian idea. It creates a physical heartfelt presence of peace and joy. Of prosperous expectation both secure and adventurous.
