What to do when the world seems dark

It seems like every time I log onto social media I’m reminded of all the hate and division happening in the world right now. Every day I see Republicans rant and rave against democrats, or “anti-Trumpers” bashing “pro-Trumpers”, or pro-women’s rights activists hurling hateful insults at pro-life groups (or vice-versa for all the above). There […]

Big racists, little racists, and heroes

I’ve been reading a book about racial reconciliation and injustice. In this book the main character Clarence, a black man, tells a tale from the fifties when he was nine and his family accidentally walked into the “wrong” restaurant. His parents had either missed the “whites only” and “no colored” signs or in that particular […]

I know you go to church, but are you a Christian?

My grandpa recently passed away. I was fortunate to be there with him holding his hand when he breathed his final breath. I saw the moment in his eyes when he started seeing a different reality other than the one we know and I was there when he left his body to enter eternity. Somehow […]

The truth about pornography, masturbation, and fornication… Despite what the psychologist say.

Not long ago I made a status on my personal fb page that said, “Pornography, masturbation and fornication are stripping young people of the authority and power to lead this generation in holiness. And it’s partially due to the lie that it’s just expected of young people to deal with those issues. I don’t care […]

Get Real! Confessions of a local church.

I recently preached a sermon in my hometown of Benton, AR entitled “Get Real!” (The sermon from that morning is available for free download here. divine-romance.com/resources) In the sermon I basically shared all my “deepest darkest secrets” about my past and how God taught me to get free of my addictions through the power of public […]

Jesus Take the Wheel and Cowboy Casanova

Well I’d like to start out by saying that this is not an attack on Carrie Underwood. I think Carrie Underwood seems like a sweet girl, and I’m not attempting to say that she’s not a Christian or anything like that. This is simply an observance of modern society and the contradictions that we willingly […]

Parable of the talents. Use your voice to receive promotion.

“In a surprise move after hours of tumultuous negotiations, the House Rules Committee, very early Saturday morning, approved rules for debate on the pro-abortion health care bill. Although it appeared Speaker Nancy Pelosi would deny one, it allows a vote on an amendment to remove abortion funding. Pelosi’s hand appeared to have been forced when […]

I need a hero.

I’m a huge Lord Of The Rings fan. Including the “Silmarillion” and “The Hobbit.” I own the collectors extended edition of all the movies, own all the books (and have read them multiple times), as well as owning other LOTR memorabilia. I even purchased a replica of the Sword of Elindel that was used in […]

Valentines Day Encouragement

Happy Valentines Day! I know this day can be a hard day for some of us so I wanted to send a little Valentines Day encouragement! Plus, it’s been a while since I talked with you all and I just wanted to check in with everyone and see how you are all doing, and catch […]

Christ as lover? What?

As I sit down to write this it is a very late Monday night. But I had to get out of bed to start writing as my heart once again is burning with a message from the Lord. The Lord is desperately wanting to reveal Himself in a new way in these last days. Christ […]
