Child-Like Faith

"But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein." - Luke 18:16-17

Sometimes, I think we forget what it means to have faith like a child. We forget because a child thinks too simply. 

Singing More Than Words

   Not long ago, I heard a pastor quote the words of A.W. Tozer who said: "Christians don't tell lies, they just go to church and sing them."
   When I worship, I often don't pay attention to the words that I'm singing. They are familiar, old hymns that I could sing in my sleep, with words like "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine", "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound", or "Victory in Jesus, my Savior forever". I don't always listen to the lines that role off my tongue, I just follow the words. I don't always mean the things I so readily sing, I am only following the music.

A Note for the Heart // Set Apart

     If you were brought before court and accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? 

To Everything a Season

    I slung my grooming bag up over my shoulder and trudged to the barn. Snow crunched beneath my boots and sparkling flakes fell from the sky. It was a beautiful day, but not my idea of the perfect weather for my horse and I. After all, I couldn't ride thanks to a thick layer of ice on the ground.
