For those interested in listening to the songs, you can purchase the album by clicking here.

Writing this post makes me realize how rarely I share much of anything these days. Between family, church, and school, I find I don't have much time for anything else in life! But that's OK, because there is joy in serving where Christ has put you and finding satisfaction in the good gifts he gives... Continue Reading →
Many of my friends who once professed to be Christians have walked away from the faith. If you are one of those people, I want you to know that I still love you and deeply appreciate our friendship. But I also grieve for you and pray for you. I know we don't have the opportunity... Continue Reading →
At first when he answered the phone I thought it was a joke. I had reconnected with a friend I hadn't talked to in ten years. But he sounded nothing like the friend I used to know. I even told him it didn’t sound like him. Of course, that made things awkward for a bit.... Continue Reading →

I have often heard this accusation leveled at the Bible: "God commanded the Israelites to commit mass genocide when they conquered Canaan. A God of love could not be so cold and merciless, so I do not accept the Bible as true (at least not certain parts of it)." There are many ways to respond... Continue Reading →
This year I decided to take on Tim Challies' 2019 Christian Reading Challenge. Just recently I finished up my first biography for the year. Occasionally I will do a book review on some of the books I'm reading. You can read some of my thoughts about that process here. Today's book is George Müller of Bristol by... Continue Reading →
Great leaders spend their lives pursuing clearly stated goals. William Wilberforce, for example, said, "Almighty God has set before me two great objectives, the abolition of the slave trade and the reformation of manners." I am finishing up a biography on the life of George Müller. He, too, had a clearly stated goal in life.... Continue Reading →
