Lies My Enemy Told Me – And How I Overcome Them

By Daniel Cox on August 19, 2009

God is God. And I Am Not.

God is God. And I Am Not.

By Daniel Cox on August 4, 2009

To embrace this is to begin to understand true humility. I’m not talking about that kind of false humility and piety that annoys the crap out of everyone around you. I’m talking about knowing who you are in God. This was my first glimpse at spiritual maturity.

What Do They Need?

What Do They Need?

By Daniel Cox on July 22, 2009

Love is not a feeling.
It is generally associated with good feelings but in itself is not a feeling, because if love were a feeling, it would be a very fickle reality and those who construed it as such would be very fickle people.
Rather, love is a decision and a commitment.

Stop Defending Your Faith!

Stop Defending Your Faith!

By Daniel Cox on July 15, 2009

As we talked about these things, I imagined a soldier approaching his enemy, shield in one hand and sword in the other, ready to “contend”. Suddenly, fiery arrows begin to fall all around him. In an effort to defend his faith, the soldier quickly sets down his shield and stands between it and the fiery darts.

After all, he MUST defend the faith!

(blink, blink)

Ummmm…that’s kinda stupid.

By Daniel Cox on April 13, 2010

We’ve all done it.

Why I Have A Language Problem

Why I Have A Language Problem

By Daniel Cox on March 16, 2010

On a personal level, I’m pretty good at singing Spanish, although I understand very little. Singing Chinese, or Vietnamese or any other language is just brutal. I’ve had people move away from me in the pew because I simply slaughtered their language. I kept praying that I wasn’t somehow cussing.

How does this encourage unity?

Receive "the 832" Free

It’s All About ‘Relationship…’

This site is all about relationship with Jesus, who is THE Truth.(see John 14:6) And honestly, I sometimes don't get it. Even after 30 years.

I trip over my own stupidity. I often whine, complain and rail at God, then expect Him to be merciful. I read scripture and scratch my head, marvel at His audacity and sometimes sit amazed that He, for some reason, still LOVES me.

No, I don’t always get it.

But I know He loves us. And I know He wants to be in close relationship with US. Even if it’s all messy...because He’s like that.
