• 15 Years Wasted? The End of my Military Career
    Oct 2 2024

    How would you keep going, keep pressing forward, if it felt like you had failed? Let me know in comments. I contemplate my last physical fitness test for the USAF and how it makes me consider how I have run my career race, and the larger race for Christ. / @workwisdomwonder ___________________________________________________________________________ Check out my blog at www.sibilantsword.com

  • The Realization that Changed my Life
    Oct 1 2024

    One raw realization leads to another, and another, as my whole life has been changed in a cascading display of God's grace. From struggling with depression to a deeper understanding, the Lord is gracious beyond comparing, and it's simpler than it seems. Simple, but not easy. Blog: https://sibilantsword.com/category/se...

  • What the HECK is Calvinism?
    Aug 21 2024

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEYU4fCVFRQq8f8FJEK_VTQ?sub_confirmation=1 Today I join the fray that will get me burnt at the stake from the liberal theologians and others. Today, I talk about predestination and the dreaded Calvinism. Honestly, I could make and re-make this video ten thousand times and hardly scratch the surface of the debate and importance of it, but since I also have a day job, I figure it best to post and move on. Would love any questions and will maybe do specific responses to those questions in the future. This is meant to be educational rather than argumentative and to simply present the viewpoints and benefits of Calvinism. Ultimately if you are a Christian, I recommend you always wrestle with Scripture and deep things. Iron sharpening iron doesn't come without sparks and friction. Blessings!
