My Prayer For All of 2012: Desktop Wallpaper
January 3rd, 2012 by Greg Smith
I found this prayer online that has been adapted from Jonathan Edward's resolutions by Trevin Wax. I have always been stirred by the resolutions that Jonathan Edwards penned and continued to add on to periodically throughout his life...
The "X-Mas" Boiling Point
December 6th, 2011 by Greg Smith
Are you tired of seeing, "X-Mas" plastered around during the CHRISTmas season and have made it a point to put Jesus back in spotlight that the world has so wrongly taken Him out of? Well, let me just say one simple thing that may help you this season, "Breathe!" It may not mean what you think it means.
Book Review: Desiring God: Meditations of A Christian Hedonist
October 24th, 2011 by Greg Smith
Ever read a book that completely altered, foundationally, your view of life? Ever read a book that so changed things in your mind and heart that you were unable to go back to the way things, "used to be"? Maybe the Bible is coming to mind (I sure hope so at least!), but there is another book that did this to me as well. I went into a hedonist; I came out of it a Christian Hedonist.

Book Review: "A Praying Life: Connecting with God In A Distracting World"
June 22nd, 2011 by Greg Smith
Book Review:” A Praying Life: Connecting with God In A Distracting World" by Paul E. Miller I read a lot of books... I really do. I find great joy in recommending a good book that can help inform a person, educate a person, train a person, encourage a person, and so on. I think it is a result of being a beneficiary of someone extending that same gift to me.
One God, One Truth, One Story...
June 9th, 2011 by Greg Smith
How often is the Bible said to be just a, "bunch of stories"? Ever heard that the Bible is not really one story but many? Someone ever describe to you what they felt were contradictions in the Bible saying one part of the Bible says one thing but later it says something different?
