Last week I shared my belief that sin isn’t a checklist, which leads to pride and judgement; it’s more a way of life, and, therefore, doesn’t have to be something we’re scared of doing because, as I taught the week before that, sin is something that should lead us to praising God – a very different … [Read more...]
Your Sin/Weakness is a Gift (Seven Deadly Sins Pt 5)
Over the last few weeks we’ve been looking at the Seven Deadly Sins because they’re a nice way of condensing what’s considered sin into seven basic categories (yea for simple). The most interesting thing I learned from my limited research on the topic is how every sin is connected to how we’re not … [Read more...]
Can God Appreciate Porn? (Porn Pt2) I believe the devil has three main goals: To make us so ashamed of ourselves we hide from God like in the Garden of Eden To cause division between people To make good people hide from the world in order to prevent them from making it better I can’t … [Read more...]
The Seven Deadly Sins: The Dyson Culture Pt2
I’m not Catholic, but the Catholic Church was brilliant when they came up with the Seven Deadly Sins. At one point this list inspired people to be better.

Misleading people isn’t a quality associated to being a good person... or is it? Either way, asking annoying questions just makes you annoying (well … [Read more...]
How to Reduce Hurt (going into the holidays)
Several lessons ago I shared how I’ve had times where God felt absent, but I’ve been recently going through a season where I’ve been left questioning if God really cares about us on a personal level – Jesus died for us, but is His love shown beyond that? Because it’s been such a difficult year of … [Read more...]
When God Isn’t There
This year has been the gold medal winner of awful for me (not to brag). If someone told me I had been cursed I would be like “That makes sense.” The best way to summarize in one sentence what I’ve been experiencing (a healthy practice) is it feels like I’m a cat toy being batted around; sometimes … [Read more...]
