My Christian Walks

Since I last posted anything on here I have had quite a lot of time to reflect on who I am as a person, as a man of God and as a friend to others. So I want to ask you the same question that I asked myself. 'What is it in your life that is making you who you are?' 1. Friends; I have written about this more than once before and still think that who you hang out with changes who you are as a person. " They say you become who you hang out with, well I can tell you you made me a better man" Toby Mac. This is so very true. Get sucked into the wrong crowd and you're more then likely going to make one or two bad decisions. So choose wisely who your friends are. 2.Music; Music is a huge part of who I am, sure I cant play the guitar or sing all that well but just listening to music can change your whole attitude. Its all about the words of the song. Bad words bad attitude, angry lyrics make you angry, slow sad music can make you overthink things and become sad. Next ti...

I know most of the people who are about to read this post are leaders at Sonshine Ranch and amazing followers of Christ. With camps only a week away many of you are going as leaders and are worried about the last night. The night were all the leaders get up and share their walk with the lord, the struggles they have faced and how the Lord has helped them over come what they have been through. Sometime all it can take to change the life of a camper is their leaders testimony. They see that they are not the only one going through what either them or someone close to them is going through. They see that others have come through it and are living an amazing life with Christ. Sometimes the smallest word can have an amazing impact, an amazing effect on someones life. I remember hearing (i know she is going to be angry with me for calling her out but its worth it) Heather's testimony. It was in the old green barn, on the old chairs. It was my first time as a leader on camp and as ...

Hey everyone. Its been a while i know. But I'm back. This one is more me expressing something... Something that I haven't had before but now I've got.  We all have that one friend that is always there for us. Someone who will stand by you when times get rough. Its someone you know really well. It could be anyone. I have three of them. God is number one. He has been with me and is with you 24/7. Never leaving your side. Helping you up when you fall. Hebrews 13:5 says "I will never leave you and I will never forsake you." For me these are the best words said by our lord. They are words that support me in everything I do. My second is someone who I have know for just over a year. Someone who I can always talk to as long as he replies to texts. We have laughed together and cried together (well I cried and you were with me.) You have changed me from the quite little boy to an outgoing man of God. You are in almost all of my photos making a fool ...

In the beginning god created the heavens and the earth. There is no question in scientist mind that there was a beginning. But what they can’t answer is how it began. Or more importantly why? Why is there something rather than nothing? Is the universe merely a product of random chance? Or does it reflect the order in information that speaks of an intelligent mind behind it all.  Some have suggested that the universe could pop into existence out of nothing. But what they failed to tell you is that in quantum terms, nothing isn't really nothing. It includes the laws of physics. For example the notes that you hear from this keyboard tonight could not exist without it first existing. So either you believe in an eternal set of laws or an eternal law giver.  Then there is the question of life and how did it begin. Some scientists and philosophers say that evolution can explain it all. But unfortunately evolution is a theory that only tells you what happens once yo...

So. Here we are at the end of another week. Im sure this week has had its up's and its downs. Did you go to God with the problems cause you know... he was there holding your hand the whole way. Story Time Mother: Please hold my hand Boy: No mum... You hold my hand Mother: Whats the difference? Boy: If I hold your hand and something happens chances are that I may let go but if you hold my hand.. I know for sure that you will never let my hand go. Lets say that we are the boy and God is the mother. I know that you wouldn't refuse to hold Gods hand and he wouldn't refuse to hold yours.  If we hold onto Gods hand and times get tough there is a chance that we would let go and drift away. But if you have asked God to hold onto our hand he wont let go. Sure we might try and pull away from him but we wont escape.  When we accept God into our hearts we are asking him to hold our hand. If we drift from him after asking him into our heart he dosen't le...

I think you all know what I'm talking about. One of those days when nothing goes your way, where you just want to give up, where you think "I have had enough". I'm sure that Moses had heaps of these days. He was denied by pharaoh to let his people go many times. But he never gave up. Read Exodus 7-8 for more info. Why was it that Moses kept fighting through? He had God on his side. He had a clear vision. He knew that he could fall back on God for help. He had God on his side With God on our side we cannot fail. Read Psalm 124: 1-5 We cannot be swept away by the things of this world with God as our anchor. He had a clear vision Moses was directed to free God's people from Egypt. He had this clear in his mind. It was his main focus. Like Moses we should have a clear vision. Hebrews 12:1 Let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us. A sprinter focus on the finish line. Have a look at our enemy before the race starts and once its finished. T...

Lets set the scene. You have been asked by mum and dad to go and tidy your room. You really don't want to and make up some reason why you can't. "Sorry, i have homework to do, Ill do it after tea i swear". So you run off and play on the computer after lying to your parents. What have we just done. Not only have you made up an excuse but you have lied to your parents because that one show you like is on after tea and it takes you all the way to your bed time. What if you did this to God. He tells you to go and convert to this one person who you know is going to be a pain to talk to and you really don't want to do it and waste your energy because you think inside that that person will never be saved. How would God feel. You cant excuse yourself from your calling. What about when it comes to sin. Just like with God, we cant make up an excuse why we sinned. "oh it just popped out" "he pushed me to my limits". None of these excuses can make ex...

To most people this is just another song about someone not getting the guy they want. But to me its about someone not getting what they want from God. This is more than a typical kinda thing Felt the joints in my bones where you were touching me, oh oh Didn't want to take it slow In the days, going crazed, I can barely think You're replaying in my brain, find it hard to sleep, oh oh Waiting for my phone to blow We have just asked God for help and are expecting an instant reply. But thats how God all ways works. See i've been waiting all day For you to call me baby So let's get up, let's get on it Don't you leave me broken hearted tonight Come on, that's right Honest baby i'll do Anything you want to So can we finish what we started Don't you leave me broken hearted tonight Come on, that's right God however might have chosen for us to have to wait for a reply. Much like in the chorus. We are willing to do anything to get a reply, but if...

Most of you have read my post on influences this could be a recap. I'll decide when I get to the end. Have you heard the phrase "you are what you eat." Well what about "you become like the 5 people you spend the most time with." A lot for you know that I'm not the most social person and that I find it reall hard to make friends that are worth keeping. But for most others they appear to have friends coming out of the wazoo. But are they the right people. There are people who that god put in our lives that are going to be a challenge. They are there to teach you a lesson or make you stronger. But there are also friends who you will get allong with really well and will influence you and change every part of you. So what are your 5 friends that influence you. 1. God. He is our best friend. The one you can tell anyone and he will always listen. He is the one that you should spend most of your time with. 2. Your bf. that one person who you can tell an...
