After Pentecost, Peter preached to the men who accused him and the apostles of being drunkards. Soon after, the profundity of Christ (and of course the Holy Spirit) prompted them to ask the apostles what they should do about it. He told them to repent and to be baptized and turn to Christ: the most basic conditions for salvation that Christians learn from a very young age. However, the basicness of these concepts have become rote to the majority of Christians. We assume everyone knows the basic story of Christ. So why tell it?

God Will Take Care of You
I wrote this psalm-esque poem in regards to a friend going through a hard time. I've been thinking about my role as a friend and one who "points the way" when I know I can't fix their problems. The good news that we all know is, of course, that God can. Only He can. Oh Lord, You search the heart You know the inner workings of the mind Lord I lift up my prayer from a desire to be righteous, My petition from a pure and holy heart. I ask you to keep my heart from foolishness Let my mind be free from distraction Keep me from self worship Or to make myself an idol and king Instead let me point the way to You The only wise and holy King You make paths straight and heal the brokenhearted Your arms wrap around the hurting soul Keep me from my selfish ways Let me not use my name for greatness Instead let me point the way to You To lead others to Your righteousnes To guide their hearts to Your love
