Are You Wishing Your Life Away?

Posted on March 1, 2018 by James Williams

My two-year-old son ran up to me, dripping wet, and said: “Daddy, this is fun!” Last summer, we spent a week visiting different DFW attractions.

Children Paddling at the Edge of the Ocean: A True and False Knowledge of God

Posted on February 28, 2018 by James Williams

Imagine a little child sitting on the edge of the beach. As the waves come in, the water barely gets to her knees. She feels the water and knows it’s cold. The smell of salt fills her nostrils as she watches the water make its way up the beach, only to be pulled back by…

Spiritual Disciplines: Fasting

Posted on February 27, 2018 by James Williams

In moments of extreme difficulty or longing desperation, people in Scripture often turned to prayer and fasting.

Posted on February 25, 2018 by James Williams

After speaking of the wonderful privilege we have in being able to know and fellowship with Almighty God, Martyn Lloyd-Jones states, “A man who knows anything about this intimate fellowship with God cannot stop speaking about it.” It’s natural for us to share with others the things in our life that are meaningful.

Spiritual Disciplines: Prayer

Posted on February 25, 2018 by James Williams

After several minutes of crying and screaming, my two-year-old son asked, “Daddy, will you help me get my shoes on?” I gladly knelt down and helped him. He had been struggling and frustrated because he couldn’t do it, yet in his desire to be self-sufficient he didn’t want to ask for help. I was there the…
