On the count of 3.... 1...2... apostasy


I'd just like to say that I'm appalled by what I watched this man do last night "in the name of Jesus." If I recall, of all my years, though not many, of Biblical upbringing and scholarship, I have never once seen in the Bible or have been taught by my pastor that it is OK to pray to anyone BUT Christ Jesus our Lord. What Joel Hunter did last night at the DNC praying and then opening it up for people to "close the prayer the way that they would typically close prayer" as an effort to respect people of many other faiths, is a blatant disregard of Jesus Christ as the supreme and ONLY God. Doing so, Mr. Hunter recognized other religions and other faiths as being sufficient. Recognition, though not of his personal conviction (I would hope at least), is enough to say that he did not stand in opposition to the idea of poly-theism. Yes, Mr. Hunter may believe in God and Jesus Christ, however, why he would recognize and encourage others to finish that prayer "they way they usually do" respective to their own faiths, is beyond me and frankly appalling. This man, had the opportunity to proclaim the only name that has authority and dominion, that at that very name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that HE and HE ONLY is Lord, decided instead to recognize other religions and deities and EVEN ENCOURAGE PRAYER TO THEM LAST NIGHT! Shame! Utter Shame.. why in a platform like the DNC would you possibly want to call yourself a pastor of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and deny HIM?

I do want to say, at least Donald Miller, who also prayed at this convention in Denver 3 days ago, stood up for what he believes in, not many, but ONE God who is Jesus Christ.

First day of classes

It's my fifth year in college. I'm still in the dorms. Pray for me.
The experience is good and the teaching here at Moody is stellar. I'm humbled and blessed that God has brought me this far and has me here at Moody to study and learn more about Him through the study of His word. I had my first day of classes yesterday and I quickly realized that summer was over. This whole thing called "syllabus shock" hit me like a brick and I realized that I'll be pretty busy and overloaded most of my semester. Not to say that I won't be able to make it or get through it, but to say that I'm going to be stretched pretty far and will need more than ever to grasp onto my strength in Christ.
I'm excited to be downtown and I'm praying that God would use me somehow to share his love to others out here. God bless

Website is functional (I guess)

This whole process of getting my website up and going is kinda a pain, but it is officially up and running in its basic form right now. The purpose is to get my music out there so the website itself is quite simplistic. Now, onto this piano album thing..... I'm hoping to get that out real soon.

God bless!

Camp Harvest Part 2

Hey all,

I recently got back from Camp Harvest a second time. This time around it was the High School groups from Niles, Rolling Meadows and Lake Zurich. It was a phenomenal time of God breaking down barriers and walls in many student's lives. I had the awesome privilege to be the cabin leader of a group of guys who pump me up by their devotion to God. We had some awesome times together in fellowship and in our discussions lifting up our struggles and praises to God. I can't wait to see how God works in these young guy's lives in the next few years as they get ready to go into college and the rest of their lives.
Until next time. God is good all the time and I have been overwhelmed on many occasions this past week of His glory and power and grace in my life!
