Declaration of Dependence

By Zack James Cole 07/03/20

The gospel of Jesus Christ is also a declaration. It is a declaration of something that has already happened, “that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day."

Before God, I Swear This Creed

By Zack James Cole 11/11/19

How do I know the expectations of every Marine even though I am not able to cite specific orders from Marine Corps handbooks? The Rifleman’s Creed tells me.

Ruined By the Gospel

By Zack James Cole 09/25/19

The gospel is a one-way rescue by God, through Jesus, for sinners, courtesy of the Holy Spirit exploding faith into an individual who is hearing the good news.

The Lord's Funeral

By Zack James Cole 08/02/19

One area where my theology was completely backward was the Lord's Supper. Growing up I remember that it felt more like the Lord's Funeral.

On the Quarterdeck

By Zack James Cole 07/22/19

Did the suffering stop? No. It actually got worse. The commands of what exercise to do next sped up and intensified for both of us. The Guide was allowing himself to be smoked with me.

Sleeping Ugly

By Zack James Cole 05/14/19

Do you remember fairy tales? Tales of magical creatures and far away fantasy lands? They were legends of lore that included dragons, magic, a moral to the story or a hero saving the day.

The Grace Pirate

By Zack James Cole 02/12/19

You have heard it said that "Dead men tell no tales." “Ah, but they do tell tales!” says I.

The Final Review

By Zack James Cole 01/29/19

With a new year comes many new things. In the corporate world, we again introduced to our yearly performance review.

On Being Haunted

By Zack James Cole 10/16/18

I am often haunted by my past. I am daily haunted by what I should be doing.

NOT the Gospel

By Zack James Cole 09/06/18

There was a TV show back in the ‘90s called “Dinosaurs” that I used to sneak into the living room at night to watch.

Turnt

By Zack James Cole 08/27/18

When I hear the word “repentance” my mind quickly goes to those old terror inducing Chick Tracts.

Enemy Prisoner of War

By Zack James Cole 05/28/18

In the United States Marine Corps, part of my training involved Enemy Prisoner of War (EPW) handling. The 6 rules of EPW handling are:

Someone Over the Rainbow

By Zack James Cole 04/04/18

I hate driving. I am more of a “pew-pew” guy than a “vroom-vroom” guy. I battle my own heart every day in Atlanta traffic.

Knowing is Half the Battle

By Zack James Cole 02/26/18

I cannot recall how many times I sang along to this theme song, punching and kicking as a kid in the 80s. But much of my desire to join the Marine Corps had its genesis in the 80s cartoon “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.”

The Gift of Righteousness

By Zack James Cole 11/27/17

The words “gift of righteousness” will bring about two completely polar opposite feelings: One of Dread. One of Relief.

Bruised and Smoldering

By Zack James Cole 11/14/17

“Obey God and he will bless you,” says the wind and the reed is bent over and bruised throughout. “God will never stop loving you but you can disappoint him,” says the wind and the once lit candle is now a sad smoldering wick.

Living in a Van Down By the River

By Zack James Cole 05/23/17

My experience as a Christian did not revolve around Christ. It revolved around asking, “What is God’s will for my life?” Hunting the answer to this question was my god, and I paid homage to it every day.
