This is one of my favorite songs from my first full Gospel “album”, The Faith EP. The concept behind this song is the humble perspective I’m trying to develop about my relationship with God, and with my Savior, Jesus Christ. In my secular life, I used to feel like I would earn my place in a relationship. The person I was involved with, be it a friendship, work relationship or otherwise, I felt like I deserved to be treated a certain way based on who I was. Of course, at this time I wasn’t prepared to understand my fallen nature. If I did, I would certainly not want what I deserved. I would want just the opposite.

So when I began my journey into the truth, it was hard for me to adjust to a new perspective on relationships. To make a long story short, I’m grateful for how I see things now. As a child of God, I am worthy of love, and my fellow believers are commanded to treat me with love, and my God can only do what is in His inherent nature, and He will love me always. I’m so grateful for that. I know that no matter what happens, He will always love me, and I will always love Him. That’s just so unbelievable. There’s not much more I can say about it, but I did my best with the song. Please give it a listen, and if you like it or it encourages discussion of your faith, please share it.

Blood on the Ground: Genesis 4

In Genesis chapter 4, we encounter one of the most sobering accounts in all of Scripture: the murder of Abel by his brother Cain. It is easy to read this story and assume that God’s judgment centers solely on the act of murder itself. Yet when we look closely at the...

The Eye of the Needle

Mark 10:25 — “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Few sayings of Jesus are quoted more often—and explained away more quickly—than His words about the camel and the needle. An entire cottage...
