Because He Is Worthy
I know that I’ve been doing a terrible job of blogging lately, but I just haven’t felt inspired to write anything. I really like to wait until God gives me something to write before I attempt to blog, but lately it just hadn’t been happening. I was feeling very dry spiritually, and I know the reason for it. It’s because I’ve been loving myself more than I love the...

This is an absolutely amazing documentary on the Holocaust and abortion. Please watch it!
“[John Nelson Darby] had practically given up all reading except that of the Bible…I remember once saying to him, in defence of worldly station,- ‘To desire to be rich is unchristian and absurd; but if I were the father of children, I should wish to be rich enough to secure them a good education.’ He replied: ‘If I had children, I would as soon see them break stones...
1 Timothy 2:1-6
“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God...

Long and Long Ago (a poem by Martha Snell...
This is one of my favorite poems. I had a heck of a time finding it online, but here it is! Joy! This is such a beautiful little poem, and it really gives one an interesting perspective on God’s plans for our lives.
Long ago the Lord looked down Through the years to this small town, The street, this house, and planned that I, While I was living here, should try To do His work and will, and...

"A Change for the Best" by Jim Kraus
One of my favorite cartoons is a drawing of a group of people sitting around a table. The title above the picture is “Week Two of the Church Plant.” At the end of the table is a red-faced man, his hand clenched in a fist, his eyes narrowed and angry. The caption reads, “That’s not the way we did it LAST week!”
Let’s be honest. Most people don’t like...

New Blog!
I just started a new wordpress blog! It’s likely that I’ll be completely switching over to wordpress at some point, so I wanted to give everyone the URL address for that one.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”~ Philippians 4:8
There’s no other way to say it: This world is full of ugliness. Wickedness is not...

The Gospel
The Gospel is the most important thing anyone will ever hear, and yet so often, it goes untold, because we Christians are too scared to say it. We’re human. We fear rejection, or worse. In some countries, we may face death if we dare to mention the name of Jesus. But we tell it anyway, because if Christ was willing to die for us, shouldn’t we be willing to live for Him? So, with...

A selection from Andrew Murray's book, "Abide in...
I don’t know about you, but I feel like I constantly struggle with “abiding in Christ.” And what does abiding in Christ even mean? Well, I took this book off of the shelf at work, and opened it up to this page from the third chapter. I found it very encouraging, and it certainly answered my question!
“I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which I also am...
Today's Devotional from "Choice Gleanings"
“And He said to me, Son of Man, can these bones live? So I answered, O Lord God, Thou knowest.”~Ezekiel 37:3
“Ezekiel saw this valley full of dry bones and it seemed impossible that they could ever live again. But the Lord began to work. The bones came together, and a mighty wind blew in the valley, and they stood up and were an exceedingly great army. This scene could be...

The Blood on the Doorpost
I’m reading Exodus in my daily Bible-reading right now, and I just got through the part where the Lord commands the Israelites to put a lamb’s or goat’s blood on the doorpost in order to save their firstborn, because if the destroying angel saw the blood, he would pass over that house and the firstborn children (and adults) would be rescued. I was just thinking about how, when...

My Birthday Wish
At the end of this month, I will turn eighteen.
I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little freaked out. Although I really can’t see how much different eighteen will be than seventeen. I’ll still be a teenager (which, as we all know, is a nightmare), and all the things that are actually legal for me to do at this age (such as piercings, tattoos, clubbing, etc.), I have no interest...

2010=Blech. BUT...
2010 was, for a lot of people, a hard year. And yet, through it all, there was the Lord. The Bible says He will never leave us or forsake us, and, truly, He has never broken that promise. Through all the hard times and the worry, He has been a Rock to my mom and me, and so many other people. I felt that this was an appropriate Psalm to describe how I feel. The English translators added the...
