Attesting to Who He is
I hear (and use) this phrase quite often: “All for His glory,” and I started thinking on what that means, so I began looking in the Word to see what the Bible says about it. This post will be the result of what I’ve found and how I’ve come to understand it better. Feel free…

Being Fed Through Worship
I was thinking about how important it is to feed your soul and keep seeking His face. I feel that a lot of times people talk about reading the Word as a means of feeding yourself, but what about worship? God created us to be in awe of all His creation and all of who…

Testing vs. Trusting
Recently, I came across something that really piqued my interest and decided to look into it more. It came from a plan in the Bible app, and it said, “…the church need not test God…” and I thought about it and wondered why we, as a body of believers, should not test God, or if…

A Body Fit for Heaven
Hey y’all, I know I’ve been slacking on keeping up with this blog, but I’m sorry to say that my grandmother passed away last week, and so I’ve been dealing with the grief, and at the same time, joy that comes with it. My grandmother was a believer, and so I know I will see…

Set Apart
I previously talked about how believers become justified in God when they accept His gift of salvation. I wanted to touch base on it again, before I continued on to sanctification. So, justification is something that happened in someone’s spirit. Notice i said happened, in past tense, which is because it’s a past reality. Justification…

Made Righteous
For the next couple of posts, at least, I would like to share my thoughts on three things that happen in us as a result of accepting Yeshua as our Savior. Granted, there are more than three, praise God, however, these three deal with who we are in Messiah: justification, sanctification, and glorification.In my last…

Safe in Your Faith
Have you ever wondered what it means to be secured in the Messiah? Or how does you know that you’re completely protected in His hands? I, myself, have wondered, not necessarily because I doubted, but I just wondered how I could explain how I know that I belong to the Lord, other than just saying that…

who i am
Hello and welcome to my blog! (again)I wanted to take this first post and share a little bit about myself and who I am as a person. I’m 23 years old, and have graduated UNC Charlotte, with a degree in English and Russian. I have been a believer for most of my life, and was…

Full-Time Faith
“You can’t serve a full-time God with a part-time faith” is something that has been going around lately, and I’ve been thinking about how true this is. Also, how true the flip side is: “You can’t fight against a full-time enemy with a part-time faith.” I want you to think about this with me: a…

Following Him in Surrender
“They immediately left their nets and followed Him.” (Matthew 4:20).In context of this verse, Jesus had just been tempted by Satan (Matthew 4:1-11), and He was beginning His ministry in Galilee (Matthew 4:12-17). The verse that I picked out, never ceases to stand out every time I read it, so I started thinking about what…
