Available as a podcast, click here to listen. As a Christian, you are not allowed to “do you.” By definition of the word, YOU belong to Christ. You have agreed by proclamation, wether that was baptism or confession before another, that He is your Lord and that you will live a life dedicated to Him. … Continue reading

TBH
(That’s: to be honest, for us old fogies.) This morning as I was preparing to go for my morning bike ride I remembered a pastor that had been recommended to me for listening. I found his page, got the first video I could find ready, and set off. I knew by the title of the … Continue reading
Getting ready.
This past week has been a difficult one when it comes time to get Ethan up and ready for school. It’s usually about 7:20 when I come into his room and start patting him. Once he’s coherent I will read a the morning devotion from Morning & Evening by Spurgeon (there’s an app). He likes … Continue reading
Prayers Answered
So many wonderful things are going on around here! I have just been so elated lately that I guess it’s time to write about it. So here goes… first up, my husband. For some time now we have been discussing the need for sound doctrine to be taught to new believers, before they ever get … Continue reading
You are what you eat.
Like me, I’m sure you’ve heard that saying a thousand times. You are what you eat. This never really made an impression on me until yesterday. My husband and I were discussing the difference between what we consider useful to ‘ingest’ and what was of no use. The more I pondered on it, the more … Continue reading
his will
I heard a wonderful teaching this morning on how to know what God’s will is for your life, and so I have put in some research of my own and would like to expound for you. First of all, there are 2 kinds of God’s will; preceptive and decretive. Decretive will is when God declares … Continue reading
truth is not subjective
Before you can understand what believing in Christ means, you have to understand what sin is. You’ve probably heard this word, although most people think of the word sin as a playground where we want to hang out (Lady GaGa writes songs about it). The meaning of the word is becoming subjective in our society, and across … Continue reading
The Re-Do Button
Two days ago, after I had written one of my better posts to date, I decided to go and change the way my website functioned so that I would have everything in one place.. WordPress. It was going well, and everything looked fine, and then something happened. My entire site crashed and I couldn’t get it … Continue reading
Held Captive
Been thinking a lot about the difference between religion and relationships. How can I classify what I have between myself and the Lord? I don’t think it’s as simple as saying I am not in a religion, or saying that I am just in a relationship. What is your motivation in going, or not going, … Continue reading
Addition = Subtraction
Over the past several weeks I have, again, felt separate from God. This was a bit different, tho… I was feeling not only separate, but distracted, and confused as well. About the time I started feeling this way, a dear friend confronted me about my smoking habit. To some, smoking could be considered a sin, and for her, … Continue reading
Getting to know You.
Lately, while reading the Bible, I have found myself more and more engrossed in what I am reading. Perhaps it is because I have come to read it as a page in history rather than a story book for Christians….or Jews for that matter. I decided that since I have confirmed my relationship with Christ, … Continue reading
Prove It!
Almost every day now for the past 2 weeks, I’ve been seeing, and hearing one thing over and over: “If you can prove that the resurrection didn’t happen, then Christianity will cease to exist.” So, I’ve been thinking about that. Is it possible to prove it? Or is it more difficult to dis-prove it? I was … Continue reading
