The Sin of Neediness
When we think of the sin of selfishness our minds go to the mentality of “I do what I want, how I want it, when I want it.” And while, yes, that is what selfishness is primarily, I have recently come across a different form of this sin that is talked about much less.

Yes and No
But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation. – James 5:12 Growing up, my parents taught me many lessons on how to be a respectfulContinue reading “Yes and No”

How Can I Pray For You?
Something that I notice in most of Paul’s letters, is that he tells his recipients that he’s been praying for them. I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, – Philippians 1:3-4 I have not stopped giving thanks forContinue reading “How Can I Pray For You?”
Good Advice or Godly Counsel?
Something I have always been thankful for is the amount of godly friendships and influences I have in my life. It has been an incredible blessing to know that those who are a part of my “inner circle” of friends truly love and care for me, and want me to grow in godliness. Every MondayContinue reading “Good Advice or Godly Counsel?”
Prayer
Take away all the time you spend asking God for things during your prayers and how long would they be? One minute? Fifteen seconds? Prayer is a powerful tool in which the Christian finds themself directly in the presence of God, even if we are in our kitchen, car, or office. And yet, I believeContinue reading “Prayer”
