Post Office

I just stood in line for 30 minutes at the post office just to get a 39 cent stamp.

The Biggest Battle

“The biggest battle you will face in life is your daily appointment with God – keep it or every other battle will become bigger.”
-Ravi Zacharias

Jesus

What does the name Jesus mean to you? I think to some it means encouragement and grace, to others it means judgement or an “I’m better than you are” mentality.

I’m just curious what that name means to you. There’ll be no judgement from me, or anyone else on my page… I just want to know HONESTLY what the name means to you.

Thankful

I was just talking to someone and realized – it’s been 216 days that I’ve walked free from pornography (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look at my video testimony on my page). Thank God for taking that sin. I still struggle with lust in the day to day, but pornography, along with masturbation and messing around with girls, is gone. By the Lord’s grace I feel so free and clear.

I’m also thankful for my friends and family… and for all of you. I’m sorry I haven’t been around much in the last 6 months or so – I’ll try to do better going forward. The real issue is my crappy laptop and the fact that I have to go to starbucks to get on the internet. But I’ll promise this – I’ll try harder despite those excuses.

Jesus loves you and so do I.

God bless & Happy Thanksgiving,
-Philip

Texas

You know you’re from Texas when you have a bumper sticker on your truck that reads “Gun control means using both hands.”

How Far To Go

“A Godly man will not go as far as he may, lest he go further than he should.”

Goodness is Secondary

“Christianity is Jesus Christ coming not to make bad people good, but to make dead people live – and if you’re not alive to God, goodness is a secondary issue.”
-Ravi Zacharais

Fighting Addiction

Are you doing things that stir your affections for God?
Are you praying for healing?
Are you confessing to humans and repenting to God?
Are you reading and studying scripture?
Are you fasting?
Are you doing your part to avoid compromising situation and things that move you toward your addiction?
Are other people praying that you are healed?
Do you believe God can heal you?
