The Experience of “I”

I was inspired to write this poem, so I thought I’d put it in place of a blog post: The Experience of I Who am “I”? “I” am. “I” know that “I” am. “I” don’t know all that “I” am. “I” know that too. “I” want to know all that “I” am. “I” do not [...]

The Ultimate Relationship

    We have complete freedom to do as we choose. So where does God’s Divine Will, His Providence, fit in? You know what the hard answer is? Nobody totally knows; it’s a mystery. It’s beyond our ability to comprehend, but we can still know it as true. “See, I have set before you this day life [...]

God Brought the Roys to Rise Up

The title might have been “The Roys at a Hotel in Montreal” had it not been for God’s Providence and Wisdom.  He whispered in the ear of my mother-in-law, Marguerite Watkins, to offer to come and help us out on our wintry Montreal experience at Rise Up 2010.  And what a blessing Marguerite was enduring [...]

Stories of conversion are inspiring and exciting because the unthinkable happens: God intervenes in a life and completely changes it.  We see it most dramatically in the lives of people who have changed after committing heinous crimes, being involved in drugs, or engaging in sexual immorality. But are the stories of people who have lived [...]
