Keeping My Word

I’ve been reposting some of the old content from my previous website, and one of the things I used to do was write impromptu posts that discussed things I was dealing with at the time in my Christian walk.

Why I Believe in Jesus: He is the Physician

Sheep and Goats

Jesus said that He would one day divide the just from the unjust, and part of that dividing has to do with our response to those in need.

Study to Show Yourself Approved

I have spent many hours considering the resurrection. As a Christian, I consider it my duty to consider all Christian teachings for myself prayerfully to the best of my ability.
