all things Jesus. all things gospel. all things grace
So, Jenny and I are celebrating our 6th year in marriage. To the one's that have been married recently that's like, "Wow that's amazing guys." To the ones that have been in this game for long they are like, "Mschew, nothing to see here." hahahahahaha On September 2, 2011, we made our vows before God and …

2 Samuel 3:1 NKJV Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker. Right off the gate, Saul and David are both from the same house of Israel. What does Israel represent? The …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnN9Zz6BBzs I love listening and playing songs that amplify who Jesus is and what he did for us. They warm my heart, nourish my soul and enrich my faith.

The story of Ruth is one that really warms my heart because in a sense I see myself in her story. Every time I read her story, I'm enamored by how Jesus is always attracted to outsiders – the least, weak, women, poor, sick, imperfect, prisoner, widows, orphans, uneducated, oppressed, illegitimate, immigrants, etc. Her story …

Judges 2:10-11 (NKJV) When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel. Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals. So, Joshua dies. His generation …
After years of listening to gospel and grace preachers the worst advice I've heard them give Christians is this - "go read the Bible for yourself". Grace preachers keep telling their audiences to read the Bible for themselves and not allow “theologians” to misconstrue the Bible. I think this is highly simplistic and misleading. To …

Listen bro, Your tender and delicate wife will defy, disrespect, dislike you and many times submit to you with gritted teeth and a clenched fist - If you hadn’t noticed yet. It’s not her fault. It’s not even her parent’s fault. Her parents were just as defiant, disrespectful and insubordinate just as she is. Whose …
