Christian Words

I think that one of the largest misconceptions about God is that, if you believe in Him all of your dreams will come true. That, in a sense there is this magic genie up in the sky that nods his head and fulfills all of your desires instantly and without question. -Just sign here on the dotted line. More than that, I think people often turn from God after having this false expectation that everything in life relies solely on His power and will. That financial struggle, physical pain, loss, and sorrow are all a direct result of God and that there is nothing you can do to change it. I'm here to say that God does not grant wishes. If He did, I believe I would own a Harley. God did however, grant us free will. There in lies the problem. Free will allows us to have the opportunity to sin. Without sin there would be no pain. However, without free will there is no choice. We would be little army men that God took off of a shelf. Figures, moved and manipulated without any comprehension as...

I am just a lonely soldier in Gods amazing army with the Word on my shoulder, who cares about who fights me I carry strength of a thousand swords and run at fire fearless I talk to those who haven't heard, while facing evil spirits I crush all dark and walk in light, my feet stand firm and just Heavenly angles bow and hark when sin I swiftly crush There's no trials that can face me, nor demons I cant tame No agony disgraces me and I do not hide in shame I have fist that carry freedom and feet that can reach far Ive had my struggles dealt with them and joined in on his war I am just a lonely soldier, but God has chosen me In the eyes of the beholder I'm exactly who I need to be I am peace where there is none, I am heart when all is gone I am love when hate flourishes, I am truth when lies discourage I am just a lonely soldier, but I can make an impact Because he is the molder, and I was made to do just that.

If I was to introduce myself with one word it would be this: I am a sinner. Plain and simple. There is no doubt in my mind that yesterday, today, and tomorrow I will consistently fall short of the glory of God. I am a victim of temptation, a slave to self preservation, and a puppet to all things worldly. I consciously choose my will over Gods everyday and then like a fool wonder why my faith hasn't moved a mountain. I have let doubt define my path and withhold me from pursing His.  So today I am going to step out of the boat. I am tired of being the guy sitting in the pews thinking that I'm never going to be good enough to serve my purpose. That somehow my sin is past the point of redemption and that God's grace doesn't extend as far as my transgressions. Truth be told, I will never be good enough to enter heaven, and I'm not sure that I will ever feel ready. So today I am going to write this post as  if my opinion matters. As if my words can move mountains, beca...
