My friend, Eric, at “A Pilgrim’s Progress,” wrote a post about helping a neighbor get his cat out of a tree. The post is called “Serving Isn’t Easy When the Cat is in the Tree.” Eric concludes with this: I’m glad I could help my neighbor, but it was not easy. Service has a tendency to be difficult and dirty. It is also often inconvenient. Despite this, it is certainly worthwhile. My neighbor is not a Chri...

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Deeper Waters where we dive into the ocean of truth. We’re going through the Summa Theologica now which can be read at newadvent.org. We’re looking at the doctrine of God and today, we’re going to wrap up our talk on God’s perfection. First, I wish to give my prayer requests. I’d appreciate prayers for my continued Christlikeness. Yesterday was a hard day and last night a difficult nig...

This is the 95th passage in “Scripture… As We Live It“: For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you - that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

This post is really for those who go to a worship service on a regular basis.  I was thinking about Sunday morning and the time we gather as Christians to worship God.  For myself, I’ve come to realized that engaging the mind a bit ahead of time is a necessity for a meaningful time of worship.  I find it interesting how often in the old testament the people of God are reminded (possibly commanded?) to remember. They are told to remember ...

Hello everyone and welcome back to Deeper Waters where we are diving into the ocean of truth. We’ve been going through the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas to help us come to a deeper understanding of the doctrine of God. For those who do not have a copy of the Summa, one can be found at NewAdvent.org. First, I ask for prayers for my Christlikeness. Today has been a really hard day for me and it’s being a hard night and I just ask t...

I can’t imagine. These pictures almost look like something from a movie set. ...

In a book that I have been reading as of late, the author states that less than 2% of Christians ever share their faith with another person. Less than 2%! Much of this comes from fear, Satan, and lies that Satan has placed in our world that we are to tolerate others beliefs without telling them they are wrong or that we are right. I want to hit on the issue of fear in this short post.How do we overcome fear in sharing our faith? You can ask a...

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to share about Compassion International at a church in Virginia. The Sunday I spoke was just three days after I returned from Haiti. One of the things I shared was about how we can’t wait for the government to help Haiti. We have to help now. When we were there, the relief effort we saw happening was minimum. I can count on one — maybe two — hands how many relief trucks we saw...
