What is the INK FORGE? 

We all spend our lives being shaped by something. Sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. There is no escaping this. When I asked myself “what is The Ink Forge to me?” the driving thought that came out was shaping; as honest as I can stand, as brutal as truth can muster and as beautiful as Sovereignty can shape inside of me.

If I’m to be totally honest with you, it’s the white flag of surrender to a calling that is measured out in words.

Somewhere in the night, a baby cries and angels find their courage. Somewhere in the night, Hope stirs and hell has come to make war…

The Weight Of A Secret

The Weight Of A Secret

Genesis 33:20Then he erected there an altar and called it El-elhe-Israel. How can something as light as a secret weigh as heavy as a stone on the soul? Few things on earth match the weight of a secret sin. Do you have one? Most folks do. We keep them carefully...
