your love is strong.

01Oct08

Trying to find inconsistencies in my belief about God’s goodness and love, a friend asked why there is suffering in the world.  How can a loving God not only observe injustice and suffering but also create the environment for it?
This question isn’t original; it wasn’t the first time I’ve heard it, and it won’t be [...]

I may be older than you think.

26Sep08

I want to be carbon dated.  I’m starting to question whether I’m actually twenty-two years old.  I’ve believed it for so long, but the more that I’ve learned the more ridiculous it seems to claim that I’m only twenty-two.  I don’t remember my birth or even the first couple ‘years’ of my life.  I’m going [...]

grace that is more than sufficient

Where is faith?

24Dec07

A good friend of mine wrote an article called “Where is our Faith?” In it he explores the words of Christ in the book of Mark as he makes a promise to us about our faith:
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.” For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says [...]
