We Adore | Christmas Poem 2022
This past week, I penned a poem to point my heart back toward the great and grand story of the Christ.
Christmas poems are something I enjoy sharing with my friends. So, here’s a video of this spoken word piece I’ve entitled “We Adore.” I’m praying you, too, are pointed near to the heart of God’s redeeming grace. . .
Lessons From the Mountain
Life on the journey with God often feels like a switchback trail up a mountain.
We may wonder if we’re progressing forward or upward at all. Have the past 2, 5, or 10 years been a waste?
Striking Parallels: Why Jesus Died
We live in a world darkened… stained by sin. Sin = anything we, as humans, think, say, or do that is contrary – opposite to God’s way of love and truth. We face the effects and consequences of sin – death and evil and destruction are everywhere. Depravity is, perhaps, the most empirically verifiable fact in the world.
So, is there any hope? Is there mercy for broken, messed up humanity?
Weary.
How can we be filled with Christmas cheer when our eyes are welling up with tears?
Our hearts are aching from loved ones dying
Our minds are racing with COVID news recycling
Our bodies are breaking under the weight of societal dividing, cities rioting, and politicians lying . . .
Who to Believe?
I don’t know who to believe anymore. Even now, many people are chomping at the bit to tell me which news channel or political pundit to believe. Everyone wants to persuade me to their angle.
But through the cacophony of voices, a line from God’s Word rang its song again through my soul…
Blah Christmas
