The Power of Guidance There’s really no good way to introduce Saul; he was an asshole. Before we knew him as Paul the Apostle, Saul was infamous for persecuting early Christians in Jerusalem . He was there during the stoning of Stephen, cheering on the crowd. He believed he was doing the right thing, holding tightly to his beliefs, blind to anything outside of them. And then came Damascus. Somewhere between 34–37 CE, Saul set out on the road with a mission: find more Christia

God talks to us. He uses various ways of communication, and sometimes we miss it; other times we choose to ignore it. Use this post to help clear that communication gap with God.

"If God were your boss, how would he feel about your business, and what could you do to impress him?" - CJ 1  Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2  but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,    and who meditates on his law day and night. 3  That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,    which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—    whatever the

Psalm 37:5 Commit your way to the Lord; Trust in him and he will bring it to pass. Dive into this passage with me and leave all those worries you have behind!

We cry, pray, and ask God for help. We get the help, then abandon God. It's a vicious cycle, but it can be broken! Psalm 30: 1  I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. 2  Lord, my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. 3  You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit. 4  Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people; praise his holy name. 5  For h

It's easy to keep your faith when everything is going your way, keep that energy when life's a bitch. Once receiving blessings, we almost expect them now. Let's not be assholes Psalm 63:1 You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. There has to have been a time in your life when you longed for something. I mean really wanted it with every fiber of your being. Maybe it was your

Believe in whatever you need to in order to become a better person. Proverbs 14:33 - 35 " Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning and even among fools she lets herself be known Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people A king delights in a wise servant, but a shameful servant arouses his fury." It's been over a week since I've written, and I feel every bit of that. Life's been busy. That's no excuse, though. Imagine getting to the pearly gates and God b

"Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy." This may come as a shock to many of you, but, I fucking love music. Last year, I had over 2000 hours logged into Pandora. Over a quarter of the year, I was listening to music. (8760 hours in a year, for those who were curious. I see you. ) That's not including the time I spent playing shows, practicing, and all that good stuff. MUSIC IS LIFE However, it doesn't pay for shit. That's why you hear everyone who play

Did I take Proverbs & Psalms and mash them together to make a lazy conjunction? Absolutely. Psalm 86:15 "But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness." This is a new project that I am extremely excited to get started on. As you can tell, I will be sharing Proverbs & Psalms with you guys (cue the eye rolls and sighs) in my translation and how they've helped me. Whether you believe or not, there is quite a bit of wisdom
