Running Hard After Jesus
I love the story of how John outran Peter to the tomb (John 20:4). Even in the Bible we see the young buck (John) talking a little smack. The disciples had just heard from Mary Magdalen that Jesus had gone missing and Peter had to see it for himself. The same Peter who had denied Jesus…

The Dependency of Maturity
I remember thinking that as I grew older (and mature) that surely I could move to a greater and greater position of independence. The teenager dreams of having his own money and his own place. The twenty something dreams of having his own career and family. The thirty something dreams being a significant contributor in…

The Depression of Depending on Self
Reprinted from ReadyAimLife By The Howitzer For the past couple of weeks I have been battling depression. The funny thing is there is nothing wrong (well at lest not on the mega scale.) Maybe I am just dealing with getting older. I don’t seem to have as much pep in the step as my grandmother…

What Does God Want to Do to You?

Are You Growing Up?
Reprinted from ReadyAimLife by The Howitzer When I was in the 6th grade, I was 5’2” tall and weighed 106 pounds. I remember that because we had to take a presidential standardized fitness test and had to be measured. By the time 8th grade came around I was 5’11’ tall and weighed almost 150 pounds. …

Experientially Speaking
You don’t have to read the writings of the Apostle Peter for very long before realizing that he was deeply impacted by the transfiguration. You know the story: Jesus took Peter, James and John up on the mountain and He was changed before their eyes (Mark 9:2-13). He began to illuminate and His clothes became…

Looking for God in the Bible
