Today God showed me he cared about my circumstance. After praying for a bit, He began talking to me about my situation and showing me what I should be focusing on.

Three things:

• Discipleship
• Work ethic
• Character

All that is wrapped up in "Seek first the Kingdom." He didn't talk to me about money. He didn't mention anything about progress. All He did ( Read more... )

Digital bullets blasted through me. I turned a corner and a body made up of pixels was right there waiting, large assault rifle in hand and knocked me off my feet with its powerful stream of bullets shot out in short bursts. No matter what I did, something was preventing me from capturing flag zones. If it wasn't someone with a gun, it was a flying ( Read more... )

I was reading my Bible this morning and Psalm 46:1 stuck out to me.

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

That resonated with me because I am in trouble right now. It's more like peril but it is there. I hate my job and I'm fighting a bad attitude all the time. So, it is in these times where I go to God--and He's ( Read more... )

Deuteronomy 7:1-6

In verses 1-6, God wants everything dealing with the Hittites, Gergashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites completely wiped out. No treaties, no intermarriages; break down their altars and shatter their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols. It would be safe to say that these ( Read more... )

Gwen wasn't returning my phone calls and the devil was beginning to put some thoughts of death in my head. I wrestled with the thoughts because I understand that as long as we're in Christ and putting our trust in Him, then we're okay. The thoughts kept coming and coming though ( Read more... )

I just got done reading Luke and I'm amazed at how hardcore Jesus was. Luke definitely put a different perspective on things than Matthew and Mark as Luke showed some of what Jesus said that was straight up raw ( Read more... )

After having my talk with Gwen this morning, I was totally amped and rejuvenated. I was dancing in my room and praising God. I was psyched to hear that she wanted to be with me and loved me. When she told me that, it never struck me in such a way before. It seems random--Tuesday morning conversation--nothing romantic about that but it doesn't ( Read more... )

Father's Love Letter

What happens when you put about 200 people on campus in red t-shirts that say "God <3 SDSU" and send them out all across campus to hand out newspaper clippings with 57 bible verses telling of God's love? You get a lot of mixed reactions from the San Diego State community.

Today was the manifestation of an outreach put on by a ( Read more... )

After reading on Prop 4 since I talked to some opposers of it, I found that Prop 4 is a completely win-win situation. It would be stupid not to vote yes on it ( Read more... )

While I was reading my daily one-year bible entry, one of them was Psalms 66. The verse that stuck out to me the most in that chapter was the first two verses and as a musician, it really spoke to me and I think it should the mantra for all Christian music artists. It says:

1 Shout with joy to God, all the earth!

2 Sing the glory of his name;
