The following is from a Philosophy assignment using analogies In deep-sea diving, there are just bad days, when everything is just a complete mess. You are at the bottom of the ocean, in a mud hole with no visibility, trying to put a pipeline together by feel. You can’t see anything; there are tools and…
Men after God’s own heart
1 Samuel 13:14 ESv[14] …. The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince over his people, ..Acts 13:22 ESV[22] And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in…
Childhood Philosophy
*An assignment for Philosophy class* My Philosophy in early years was developed primarily from the music I was raised on, and eventually gravitated towards. My father was a Rock N Roll D.J. on the radio, so my sister and I could sing almost every top 20 hit since the phrase Rock and Roll was first…
Two sides of the Cross
I get it….We all want Jesus, but we also want the world. We want to live according to our own terms, our ethos, our code. We want the cross, but we don’t want the cost. We want to feel guilt-free and live our own lives. Salvation is free, but the cost of obedience seems too…
Partisan Politics and the Lordship of Christ!
Political party polarization in the United States has been around since the Federalist Papers laid the foundation for the drafting of the Constitution, and the Anti-Federalist Papers were created in rebuttal. Ultimately, this was the debate on how we, the people, should govern ourselves and what restrictions should be placed on the Government. The Founding…

As we finish this month’s study, let’s keep in mind this is the foundation of the other disciplines…All 10 Disciplines should compliment each other, they should be built…
The Triumph of Joy!
Nehemiah 8:10: “…for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” “Trauma is the absence of Joy…”[i] This is why the enemy tries to traumatize children! To rob us of “Joy” early in life! The enemy HATES that we can have an intimate relationship with God because nothing can take that joy, that strength from…
Hearing the voice of God!
We have begun this 2026’s bible study, and are currently working through Jack Hayford’s 10 Disciplines listed in his book Living the Spirit Formed Life. I have begun adding in content from my mentor, Joey Gentempo, from his book Journey into His Father’s Heart. I will also be putting my Hebrew lesson to use by…
Our Victory through defeat!
Do not let the enemy confuse your low self esteem for fake humility. Bullying can leave a mark on someone, the world tries to beat every man down. A child excessively beaten can live with a demon of defeat. A curse d lie that plagues his belief that “nothing will get better” or “if life…
Consecration to Covenant
Consecrating our hearts as we enter covenant with the Lord is the sacred act of setting ourselves wholly apart for Him. It is surrendering every chamber of the heart—our affections, desires, thoughts, and will—to be governed only by His love and truth. This consecration is not a one-time ritual but the decisive moment when we…
