Broken Hallelujah
His heart was ripped into pieces because in front of grace, he knew who he was in the light of who God is. He’s just the king of Israel. God, is God of the entire universe.
Japan
The ground, breaking; buildings collapsing; tsunami roaring; and not to mention the Nuclear power plant erupting – creating a chemical havoc on the biosphere all around that radius from that point on the globe. The global technological wizard is no match against nature’s siren. Scientists declare that it was the fifth-largest earthquake in the world. However, it was not a battle of rankings.

Purpose is present; it’s the way things are. But it doesn’t always make sense…
Milk and Honey and Cream
What will a Promised Land – an Eden lush with bounty and greens, a home with rest and security, a land flowing with milk and honey – look like if everything’s in it, but not God?
No Longer I
The message of the cross will always be offensive, and the simple call to ‘die to self’ will be very hard to swallow because it dares to break the mask of sugar-coated self-glorification and sin. There is, however, no other message.
