"The first and chief defense of the gospel...is not an argument but the life of the church conformed to Christ by the Spirit in service and suffering. The church doesn't have an apologetic; it is an apologetic." - Peter Leithart #whatisthechurch #apologetics

You're not necessarily going to find God by looking for love, even though God is love. It's simply because your vision of love doesn't look like God. In kind, you're never going to see your perfect mate who could be sitting right next to you because your mind (or some other part of your anatomy) is fixated on some unrealistic, unattainable ideal you've set up and parked on for life. And if you don't move from that incorrect mindset, you'll never really find what you were actually looking for. #whatislove #istillhaventfoundwhatimlookingfor #openminds #redefine

What's the use of art, of song, of thought, Of work and striving, Of beauty and sacrifice, Of love and grace and mercy -- What good is it all If all it does is maintain the mediocrity, And sustain us for another day of the same, And not affect us and grow us and change us, And ultimately bring us closer together In truth and awe and preparedness Of the greater story we must step into? #meaninglessness #arresteddevelopment #workingforwhat

I lived by heart 'Til it was done and broke And could not carry me further. The only way I could continue living Was if I could figure out Why it was beating in the first place. #byheart #brokenhearted #soulcravings #whatislove #keepsearching #followyourhearttotheonewhoformedit

Bad timing this weekend prevented me from helping at this year's Camp Agape. But how 'bad' could it be if it allowed me the time to connect with the awesome people at Bayview Chapel Assembly of God and, by chance, see my friend Lindsey deliver the message! Truth is, bad timing's not really so bad unless you close the door to what else God can do with that time.
