Touch
This song came out of a season of questioning my very direction and purpose. Feeling very alone in my struggle, yet believing that God loved me and saw me, loves me and sees me. I decided to prayerfully enter into a 40- day fast. I told no one, not even my wife. At the end of those 40 days, on that very day, three very specific and particular confirmations [...]
Beamish Boy
Good books are often inspirational to me. I had just finished reading John Bunyan’s, “The Pilgrims Progress,” and “The Cost of Discipleship” by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

If God, in His mercy and Love, had not come to me, I would still be a prisoner to that shallow existence that is passed off as life, and would never have entered into the riches of His Grace. The constrains of self are a bondage and poverty that Jesus has [...]
Who You Been Listenin’ To
James 1:21 - 22 NIV "Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so decieve yourselves. Do what it says." James 1:27 NIV “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their [...]
