Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

June 21, 2014

Are you satisfied where you are in your Christian walk? Me neither.

We have good company: Paul wasn’t satisfied either.

Paul says he forgot what was behind and pressed forward to what was ahead (Philippians 3:14). That is what we need to do also.

This website is dedicated to pressing on: finding hope ahead, forgetting past sins and victories, overcoming barriers, handling trials, learning how. And moving forward together.

My hope is that we can help each other energetically pursue Christlikeness. I hope we can challenge ourselves and each other. I hope we can learn from each other. I hope this site will become a conversation rather than a one-way talk. I don’t want to be on a soapbox; I want to be part of a dedicated group of Christians pressing on.

Let’s go!

  • Christian Contentment June 7, 2026
    For a Christian, it is possible to be content, even in difficult circumstances. Look at Paul, writing from prison: Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity;… […]

  • This is My Father’s World April 19, 2026
    God is Sovereign. Period. We are responsible, but God is sovereign. (See When Storms Come.) God’s sovereignty is immense, awesome, totally good news. And yes, scary! For Christians, God is our loving Father. We are in Christ, and the Father looks at us knowing that we belong to His beloved Son. Whatever, WHATEVER, happens is… […]
