"He must increase, but I must decrease."

My Act of Worship – David Wise

I can look back on my journey and say with full assurance that I felt God’s call on my life since infancy. He spoke to my heart as a child and I was never able to get Him out of my head. Even when I tried to walk away, He was always able to pull Read More
Finding a Rhythm – Matthew Boyd

In the past, as each season winds down, everything else seems to wind down with it — sometimes even my quiet time with the Lord. Life goes on and doesn’t revolve around a baseball season. In every sense, you have to be intentional to stay disciplined in taking care of your body, your walk with Read More
Look Back Before Looking Ahead – Xavier Scruggs

On New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, we talk about the changes we want to make and the things we want to do better in our lives. We make these resolutions that most of us don’t stick to, or don’t even end up remembering for that matter. People even create “dream boards” for the Read More

I didn’t have a Christian background, and honestly, I had Read More
Revealed – J.W. Kaiser

My home surf break (an obstruction that causes a wave to break) is a small barrier island on the east coast of the Carolinas. Here, the tidal range is about six feet, but the coastline is flat and the water relatively shallow. We have to rely on sandbars to shape our waves, and surfers Read More
