Theology & Doxology →
the·ol·o·gy (thē-ŏl’ə-jē) n.

Theology that doesn’t lead to doxology is dead orthodoxy. Doxology that doesn’t spring from good theology is idolatry. Both extremes dishonor God. The greatest...

Just needed to get this out.
It’s kind of strange opening up on the internet but I consider all of you such blessings and amazing family in Christ. God has really been convicting me of this sin in my life. However my sin has always been internal which makes it so much easier to hide. I’ve come to realize that I’ve struggled with this inner turmoil for so long and I’ve always justified it. Even before...
I love listening to Tim Keller.
Mars Hill OC Now Has a Home →
God’s plans are not our plans.
Truer words were never spoken!
The Galaxy Concert Theater on South Harbor Blvd. in Santa Ana is now the home of Mars Hill’s church plant in Orange County.
Before I was saved, while a U.S. Marine stationed at Tustin, I went to see concerts at The Galaxy. It is so amazing that a place that has been a den of all kinds of sin is now going to be used to save some...

How are you?
So I’ve been reading Living the Cross Centered Life by C.J. Mahaney. I highly recommend it! Something that stood out to me was his experience with answering this simple question. I get asked this question multiple times every day. I don’t want to say “good” ever again. I want to be honest. From now on, I want to use this as an opportunity to share the gospel.
