When You Feel Unworthy

"Have you ever felt God calling you to serve in a certain area, but thought you weren’t worthy? As I’ve been seeking the Lord’s direction at this point in my life, I’ve been battling with many doubts, questions and feelings of inadequacy. I believe that God has given me a message to share with others, but I often wonder if I can."

Life Without Limits Review

"Nick Vujicic is a man who has been a
great source of inspiration to me through
his videos so I was really excited when
he published his first book Life Without
Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously
Good Life. He certainly did not disappoint.
Nick was born in Australia in 1982
without arms and legs and his parents
were given no warning or any medical
explanation. He has overcome countless
challenges in life. Today, he’s a motivational
speaker and evangelist sharing
God’s love and hope with the world."

Serving the Church

"It’s nice being a pew warmer. You can just
show up to church Sunday morning, even a few
minutes late if you’re dragging your feet, take
your seat in the crowd, listen to the sermon,
sing some songs, and go home to your lunch
without a second thought. It’s quite convenient
when you can just sit back, be blessed, and let
everyone else do the work. And that’s precisely
what millions of Christians do."

Radical Review

"This month, I had the privilege of reading Radical: Taking Back Your Faith From the American Dream by David Platt. I had long heard and read a lot of good things about it and it currently ranks #2 on CBA's best seller list. Although I must say I'm surprised. Radical's message is certainly not a popular one in the church today, but it is a very necessary one and nothing short of biblical."

February Issue

The February issue of Lighted Lamp Magazine is now out. I was excited about my article for this month. Be sure to read it and find out a little secret of mine. It's now also available in a pdf format which is much easier to open and read.

Lighted Lamp Magazine

So, I have something to tell that I'm excited about. There's a new teen e-magazine out, to encourage young people in their walk with the Lord called Lighted Lamp Magazine. I think things like this are great. They give us an opportunity to share and learn from each other and spur each other on for the kingdom. It allows teens to use their God-given gifts to express themselves and bring glory to Him.

This is also the first time I have gotten an article published in a magazine. It's a nice step up from this blog, although the thought of a lot of people reading what I have to say is almost frightening. But I thank God for this new opportunity and look forward to writing more articles for Lighted Lamp.

The magazine will be published on a monthly basis and you can find the very first issue here! I hope you will all be blessed as I was. And for those of you who have moved past the teen years, I trust that you will also greatly benefit from it.
