It Seems Impossible
This song was written for my beloved. Every time I think about him, I have to realize all over again that our love isn’t just a a fairytale; it’s not a just a dream. The love we have is real> Life feels so perfect when I’m with him, because he was made just for me. Praise God for making someone so perfect for me!
Jonathan David Stafford Pike, I am forever yours :]

Why the World Sucks
According to Genesis, the world was perfectly created and all was “good.” There was harmony between God, the earth, and humans because humans were created from the good earth. It may be presumed from this text that humans are God’s favourite creation because it is the only creation which was made in the likeness of the Creator. It is also the only creation on earth which actively demonstrates the...

As the leper has patches on his skin which repulse those around him and force him into isolation, so we have patches on our heart that cause repulsive behaviors. For this reason, we need to go to Jesus, as the leper in Mark 1:40 does, and say, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” I understand that some people have a problem with saying to God the if you are willing part of that...

Humans are Born of a Sinful Nature?
When our super-great ancestors, Adam and Eve, sinned for the first time the world became tainted. Many people believe in something called “origin sin,” which states that humans are born with a sinful nature. But is that true? Are we born sinful?
Ephesians 2:1-3 says, “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of...

2 Corinthians 6:2-10
“We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in...

I Am - Nichole Nordeman
Pencil marks on a wall, I wasn’t always this tall
You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed.
You watched my team win, and watched my team lose
Watches when my bicycle went down again.
When I was weak, unable to speak, still I could call you by name
And I said Elbow Healer, Super Hero, come if you can.
You said, I am.
Only sixteen, life is so mean
What kind of curfew’s at...

Words of Life
The tongue is a powerful thing, as we are taught in James 3:7-8 where it says, “All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.”
We use our tongue to do terrible things. We use it to blame God for our problems and break His commandments. We use it...

Dating Myself - Poetri
Everywhere I go, I see cute people with ugly people
And I can’t help but to ask myself, “what does she see in that guy?”
Inner beauty? Well I have a whole lot of that.
I see these happy couples and I used to think, “what do I have to do to get a girl like that?”
And then that evolved into, “what do I have to do to get a girl?”
Now I’m exhausted from thinking
Fatigued from trying to convince...

A Story About Two Men on a Bridge
I was walking across a bridge recently. I spied this guy who looked like he was ready to jump off. So, I thought I’d try to stall him until the authorities showed up (or at least until I had time to put film in my camera). “Don’t jump!” I said. “Why not?” he said. “Nobody loves me.” “God loves you,” I said. “You believe in God, don’t you?” “Yes, I believe in God,” he said. “Good,” I said. “Are you...
