God is not a God of confusion, although at times one’s judgment, for a period, may become clouded in the growth process. I stopped fooling myself into thinking that Christ is always for the cool...

As for those who spite you, and seemingly just because, it’s only evident that they’re learning from you. Maybe you taste bad – kind of like medicine, kind of like truth – and to them,...

The Bible does not say money is the root of all evil; it says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. A poor man who, in his heart, worships the...

Philosophy may serve as the bridge between theology and science. All atheism is a philosophy, but not all philosophy is atheism. Philosophy (‘love of wisdom’) is simply a tool depending on how one uses it,...

When everyone believes they are the life coaches, who are the players?

If truth is like the terrain, are we the generation who sees it as one who has worn shoes all his life or one who has never worn shoes? Yet still, even if the walk...

Ask anyone and they’ll most likely say their family is crazy, and if they don’t say their family is crazy, their friends are crazy. That’s because everyone is crazy after taking the mask off. People...

When you have wit of your own, it’s a pleasure to credit other people for theirs.

To believe in the truth of Christ is to be introduced to another form of hatred, and that is not sharing Him.

I like solitude. It is when you truly hear and speak your natural, unadulterated mind, and out comes your most stupid self as well as your most intelligent self. It is when you realize who...

God gives His deepest discernment and sharpest marksmanship to men who aim to expose His truth before an enemy’s lies.

I’ve come to the point where I never feel the need to stop and evaluate whether or not I am happy. I’m just ‘being’, and without question, by default, it works.

A lonely day is God’s way of saying that he wants to spend some quality time with you.

Mankind, in all his lusts, punishes himself. The gods have to do very little.

Songwriting and poetry are so commonly birthed from underdogs because one can make even the ugliest situations admirable, or more beautiful than the beautiful situations – they are the most graceful media in which the...

We have better relationships with those who truly seek us rather than those sitting on the couch watching us move mountains trying to prove ourselves.

Whenever we want to combat our enemies, first and foremost we must start by understanding them rather than exaggerating their motives.
