Days of the Burning Heart
We all remember what it was like when we were first saved - rejoicing in our love for the Lord. But what happens when we allow the world to pull us back in? The good news is there is hope in the Lord's mercy. He can restore us through His loving grace.

True Prayer
Often we only repeat words in prayer that we have learned in church. But when the Holy Spirit is truly at work in our hearts, we pray with a new power, a true devotion, and a desperate faith. Like David in the book of Psalms, we cry out to God.

The World of AI
AI is taking the world by storm. Some are claiming that it is becoming conscious, others are saying that it will transcend humanity and solve our deepest problems. Christians need to be focused on the truth, and busy pointing people to the true God.

Faith and Doubt
Sometimes we may doubt if we truly believe, but that doubt itself can be an indicator of faith, since it reveals a desire for salvation, and a recognition that Jesus is the Son of God who alone can save.

Our God in Heaven
It is always good for us to focus on the reality, majesty, and supremacy of God. This is especially true as the world descends further into chaos. Focusing on God's nature and character can still our hearts and calm our fears.

Two Choices

Facebook vs. the Faith Book
This is a simple poem that warns about the danger of social media - especially if it takes our attention away from the Bible. In a day of fear, anxiety, and confusion - we would all benefit greatly by unplugging from our devices and getting in the Word

Human After All
This poem is about the value of human creativity. In the age of AI we may be tempted to feel that we are insignificant, but God still has a purpose for us. He created us with a distinct personality and it is imperative that we do not get lost in the code

Wokeness
For the last few years we have all become familiar with the term "woke." This poem talks about the false ways found in this movement, and encourages the reader to awaken to God and His grace.
