Last Saturday night, Jenn and I watched an amazing movie that I found so inspirational, “Old Fashioned.” I had already felt led to begin writing a post, and probably a series, called “Be To Do” that deals with our our spiritual walk with Christ. When this movie came along and really fit so perfectly with…

One day at work, I (Jerry) passed a co-worker and she asked absently, “How’s it going?” It was clear that she was in a bit of a hurry to get wherever it was she was going and wasn’t really looking for a detailed answer. She was just trying to be polite. But feeling a bit…

How are we to act toward those who hurt, offend, mistreat, or speak evil against us? The Bible tells believers to love their enemies and to even pray for them. (Matthew 5:24) It also tells us to live peaceably with all men and to not repay evil for evil but to repay, instead…
It’s all over the news and social media, so I know you know what I’m talking about. I have to admit, there is a part of me that is repulsed by what Bruce Jenner has done to himself but that is the self-righteous part of me that just loves to think that I am so…
This may seem disjointed and tangent-y (yes, I wrote that), but stay with me. Someone posted a status update about homosexuality and I thought about adding to the discussion but changed my mind. I just don’t know where to start. The comments were overwhelmingly unscriptural. There is just so much bad theology being tossed about…
We rewrote Jerry’s Masterpiece post to enter a . Both of us would appreciate every vote! If the piece blesses you, we’d love for you to share it with friends as well. 🙂 Recently, we watched Ragamuffin, the movie about the late Christian singer, Rich Mullins. When you get down to it, the movie was…
This week on Blogging Through Music, Jenn and Jerry look at Do Everything by Steven Curtis Chapman. Please note that this post is geared toward our Christian brothers and sisters. 🙂 If you are familiar with this fun, upbeat song, you’re probably wondering how we can write something deep about it. While it is an…
Why is it that when we mess up, we want to beat ourselves up over and over and over again? Then when we do get up, how do we solve the problem? Maybe we decide to “get more serious about our faith,” or go to church more often, perhaps read the bible more frequently or…
Oh, Lord, help me to see others as you see them. Help me not to look at their flaws and their scars as I am prone to do. Help me not to compare myself to others. Help me to stop thinking of me first and then the world. Show me how to love as you…
I love this song–especially with the video (see it at the end of this post). When love sees you… How many get it? God loves you. He died for you. When you are hurting and scared and feeling all alone, He is there. He feels your pain. Before I went to work, I had my…
Welcome to Blogging through music! Since music is such an important part of my life, it felt natural to come up with this. Casting Crowns has got to be my all-time favorite group. Don’t get me wrong, there are LOTS of great Christian artists and groups out there, but CC just always hits right to…
To truly consider loving like Christ, we must first look at… How Jesus Loved Now on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame I remember the nails through My hands And your name in My heart And how in their wordless way the nails explain The…
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, – James 1:17 (Note: This was originally written in 2014. Some links and offers may not be current. I’ll be going through and updating as I am able. If you notice something wrong, please let me know…
As a young believer studying God’s Word, I often found myself bypassing books, like James and 1 John, due to the fact that the text in those books appeared to conflict with what I had always been taught. When I would read epistles of the Apostle Paul and compared the language with James, for example,…
