88. What Do I Do About My Doubt?
Matthew 14:28 ‘Lord, if it’s you,’ Peter replied, ‘tell me to come to you on the water.’ When Peter was walking on the water, he eventually lost focus on Christ and focused on the wind and the waves, then started to sink. This is a great analogy for our own lives. Our waves are, “How [...]
February 12th, 201380. What Do I Do When Things Are Out of My Control?
I don’t know if you’ve noticed by we’re not the gods of universe. And contrary to what you might think, I’m not in control either. I know, hard to believe that someone so handsome and intelligent isn’t in control, but I’m not. It might seem obvious to you that we’re not in control, but we [...]
October 29th, 2012125. Why is Life Unfair?
There’s some major questions we have to answer about the unfairness in life. Why is life so unfair? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why is Michael Bay allowed to keep on making movies? Life seems unfair… a lot. Why does the lazy bum at work get to keep his job, while I [...]
October 18th, 2011126. When something bad happens, what’s something quick I can tell myself so I don’t freak out?
We of course know that God is in control, and we aren’t. And we know verses like Romans 8:28 where it says all things work together for good. But sometimes you just need a quick phrase to keep your mind on track. Something more than “Hakuna Matata.” Something that’s been working for me lately is [...]
September 9th, 201148. What does Christ mean when He says “Ye are the Branches”?
Dear Conrad, I had a couple of questions. The first is, “What does Christ mean when He says “Ye are the branches”? The second is, “How can you be so good looking yet so humble?” I’ll answer the easy one first. The answer to the second question is, I just think of all the [...]
July 7th, 201124. How Do I Live By Faith? (Part 5: During little decisions, like if I should order a Big Mac)
I had a good question posed about my ‘How Do I Live By Faith?’ devotional series and I thought it’d be good to answer it as a devotional. It has to do with a Big Mac. “I’m confused about how you define decisions not explicitly based on Scripture as sin. Are you saying God’s Word [...]
March 21st, 201123. How Do I Live By Faith? (Part 4: Our Heart)
With faith, when you miss the middle part, you pretty much feel empty. Kind of like missing the hamburger between two buns, or the pages between the table of contents and index, or a watchable movie between Phantom Menace’s opening crawl and credits. If faith is: Knowing God’s Word + Believing God’s Word + Applying [...]
March 17th, 201122. How Do I Live By Faith? (Part 3: When It’s Not Faith)
Sometimes we have something, but because we’re missing one crucial piece then, we have nothing. Like hopping in your car, and you’re missing the key. Or being at the grocery store line but missing your wallet. Or having a job interview but missing your pants. It’s the same thing with faith. When you’re missing one [...]
March 14th, 201120. How Do I Live By Faith? (Part 1)
What does it mean when the Bible says, “if you have faith as small as a mustard seed… Nothing will be impossible for you,” (Matt 17:20)? So if I have the faith larger than the size of a mustard seed that I would become a cheeseburger – it would come to pass, right? But unfortunately [...]
