I No Longer Live, But Christ Lives in Me – Galatians 2:20
Posted on 19. Oct, 2010 by Colton.
It is so easy to get bogged down by life…(yes, I used the word “bogged”). There are so many things that can burden us in our lives. When we try to live life on our own…well, it really is futile, because we will fail, fail, and fail again. But the following scripture holds the key [...]

When Failure is Not the End
Posted on 05. Aug, 2010 by Colton.
You know what word scares me…Failure. Failure is such a strong, not so fun, word. No person ever wants to hear this word attributed to themselves, I know I don’t. But I’ll be honest with you; I have failed God many times. Someone else who has failed God was a man named Peter. I love [...]

Be Known For What You Do…Not For What You Can’t Do
Posted on 27. Jul, 2010 by Colton.
The all too common reputation for Christians is being known for what they “can’t do”; we can’t party, we can’t have premarital sex, we can’t do drugs, we can’t this and we can’t that. And then what we are known for “doing” is being hypocrites, and judgmental…this was not God’s desire for us!!! Although there [...]

Have you ever wondered what God thinks about what we do for Him? How does it make Him feel when we truly follow His plan for us? Well, when I was worshiping the Lord today, He showed me this story, or vision. It just unrolled before me. There was this ordinary, Christian man. This man was busy [...]

Posted on 03. Sep, 2009 by Colton.
If you have been in the church any length of time, I’m sure you have heard the parable of the sower. Jesus speaks of this farmer who goes out to plant his seed, and the seeds fall in one of four places: The Path, where it was trampled on and birds snatched it up. On [...]

Life of Normalcy
Posted on 02. Sep, 2009 by Colton.
Is it normalcy that we are supposed to be striving to live our lives to gain? Are we just supposed to try to get by day to day, living a “normal” life, pursuing comforts and privileges to live a content lifestyle? It seems like we so easily live life habitually, trying to make ends meet. [...]

Digging in the Desert
Posted on 26. Jul, 2009 by Colton.
Deserts…they are not fun places to be stranded. These are places that recieve almost no percipitation(falling products of condensation in the atmosphere, as rain, snow, or hail)…so in other words, they are dry. Now the desert I will be refering to is not a physical one, but it can be just as deadly and draining. [...]

The Value of Truth
Posted on 14. Jul, 2009 by Colton.
Truth. We’ve all been taught (hopefully) to always tell the truth. We teach it to our kids…and often scrutinize those who aren’t truthful. But are we truthful when it’s tough? Will we tell the truth when the consequence seems like it could end nowhere good for us? Will we tell the truth when our back [...]
