Daily Word
 "The reward of being 'faithful over a few things' is just the same as being 'faithful over many things' ; for the emphasis falls upon the same word; it is the 'faithful' who will enter 'into the joy of their Lord.'"- Charles S. Robinson _________ I suspect that most of the individuals who have religious faith are content with blind faith. They feel no obligation to understand what they believe. They may even wish not to have their beliefs disturbed by thought. But if God in whom they believe created them with intellectual and rational powers, that imposes upon them the duty to try to understand the creed of their religion. Not to do so is to verge on superstition. - Mortimer J. Adler _________ "This book (the Bible) will keep you from sin or sin will keep you from this book." P.S. Dedicated by Christ to this member me.deviantart.com/ |

Thanks for the Pain
First off, this has been probably the hardest thing for me to write. I've been meaning to write it since Thanksgiving, and have been wrestling with it ever since. The quick version is that this journal is supposed to talk about how grateful I am for the terrible, dark, and painful parts of my life just as much as the uplifting and cheerful moments. How I can thank God for the rough times now, even as I'm going through them, because I know he is sovereign and works all things to somehow make me more mature. I guess I have two main reasons why this is so hard to write. The first that in thanking for those dark, painful moments, I'm bearing all my scars for the entire internet to see, with all my friends and family and strangers. I can't help but feel a bit defensive about doing so, for various reasons that basically sum up to 'I don't know the reaction'. Then the other reason is that I'm still working on applying it. Even as I was trying to come up with how to share it, I was griping and

But my daughters go ripped
Naked in the streets.

I am the mourner of the World,

Always to follow,
After thousands of years, always to follow.

Though I have never been returned without betrayal.

From A Closet of Sin to Hope In Christ
"We gays can't help that we're born as we are" I’ve heard it said. We humans can't help that we're born into a fallen world any more that we can help the bullying environment of sin that’s forced onto us. Sin is like a spiritual cancer; that if not dealt with in time, will kill us. Yet in the same instance it’s so pleasing to indulge we don’t even know we’re dying.
All sin, no matter the form it's in, is addictive, and if we choose to submit to it, it becomes our addiction. And often we find ourselves submitting to it; sometimes purposefully, sometimes without even realizing it till it’s too late.
I will gladly admit that I'm addicted to it just as everyone else is, because I’m human. But because I’m human, because I’m made in the image of Christ, I don’t want to be addicted to sin. I want freedom; I want Christ.

I'll stand there and hear you out
Your words are like daggers that pierce my skin
I see the gleam in your eye, your hope that I will doubt
With my silence you feel that you will win
Mocking my faith isn't enough for you
You have to judge the way I live
You take up your weapon aimed at me anew
I just smile and remember to forgive
I see the smug smile on your face...you think you have won
But in truth your words have made me stronger
Now run along, you've had your fun
I won't listen to you any longer
A poem written about an incident that happened between a co-worker and myself. He calls himself a "realist". I don't have an issue with him...but he makes it very clear he has an issue with me and my family being Christian. He made it a point to mock us....one thing you DO NOT DO is mess with my family. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own belief/opinion...or lack thereof...but why go to the point of mocking and being intolerant? His words just brought a smile to my face and made me

Eden
Said God, despite perfection found in Three:
"Let there be another in this place,
And let him reflect glory back to me."
"Tis naught but a reflection of my face;
Mankind shall rule a garden, bear a name.
So let there be another in this place."
Trees bear fruit and helpers bear the blame--
Serpents striking heels will be retried.
Man has ruled a garden, borne a name.
Reflecting former glory mankind cried;
His failing cast a shadow on such love.
Serpents striking heels will be retried.
Oh man who stands as icon, not enough;
Still one more will come to stand as king.
Man's failing cast a shadow on such love.
Victory will come, the garden sings.

The Sacrifice
Death must be paid, He became the sacrifice.
They laughed, they mocked as the lashes struck.
He cries in pain for the things we've done.
Could you see His love with each strike?
The way the whip ripped His flesh just for us.
Nailed to the cross, both hands, both feet.
A crown of thorns, His royal mockery.
'Crucify Him.' We yelled to the soldiers.
The cross came up for Him to hang.
We watched with contentment-
For our evil hearts to be seen.
The innocent Lamb, our sacrifice.
"Father forgive them, for they-
know not what they do."
Those were His last words,
For God to forgive us of our evil.
But why, I wonder, would He do such a deed?
With His finale breath 'It is finished.'
Darkness fell.
Thunder crashed, the earth shook.
The veil was torn in half.
People ran, people screamed.
But few stood to stare.
One soldier repented,
For he saw the Son of God.
Death could not hold Him,
Three days slipped away,
The tomb was opened,
The burial cloth lay empty.
The Son of God rose f
