Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Father, I am reminded today that no one is beyond the scope of Your redemptive power. Your amazing grace works wonders that are unexplainable by human understanding. Over and over You redeem the hearts of men and women, boys and girls whom others have given up on. You call us to be heavenly messengers to…

Father, help us to have the heart and motivation of the good Samaritan when he saw the helpless man along the way. Taking the time to stop and help surely wasn’t on his schedule that day nor were the stranger’s medical and lodging expenses written into the Samaritan’s budget. He didn’t consider these substantial factors…

Father, You are the giver of many gifts, but Yours has qualities that last not just for a lifetime here on earth but is extended through all eternity. Your gift of the water of life is something I can’t buy or earn by our own merit. It is free, but it cost You the life…

Father, we rejoice in the blessing of restored relationships. There are millions of fatherless children who don’t know their birth fathers and feel unloved, unimportant and unwanted.

Father, there is no higher calling in our earthly pilgrimage than to experience salvation or lead another to faith. The vast majority are looking for answers to life’s challenges and many are learning that it doesn’t come via prosperity, politics, vocational training, educational ranking, or anything else that expires at the end of this life.…

Jesus, Name above all names, I confess with my lips and believe in my heart that You are the Lord and Savior of my life. You died for my sins and rose to life making it possible for me to die to sin and rise to new life in You. I thank You for the…
