15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will … Continue reading
Then Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem. He summoned the elders, leaders, judges and officials of Israel, and they presented themselves before God. 2 Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your ancestors, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other … Continue reading
1 I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High. 3 My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you. 4 For you have upheld my right and my cause, sitting enthroned as the … Continue reading
1 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. 2 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. 3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which … Continue reading
I’ve been listening to a conference series put on by Ligonier Ministries called ‘No Compromise‘. I have heard mention of the Catechism before, but I kept hearing it throughout the series and decided to look it up. This is not the Catechism required to be memorized by Catholics. This was created during the Reformation back … Continue reading
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.

1 Listen to my words, Lord, consider my lament. 2 Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. 3 In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. 4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are … Continue reading
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
Now these are the areas the Israelites received as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel allotted to them.2 Their inheritances were assigned by lot to the nine and a half tribes, as the Lord had commanded through Moses. 3 Moses had granted the two and a half tribes … Continue reading
Many will refute the possibility that books like Job are about an actual man, due to the peek into Heaven in the beginning, and then the confrontation from God to Job in the end. I personally love the book of Job. We get to see God showing a regular man how insignificant man is. My … Continue reading
Joshua 11 Northern Kings Defeated 1 When Jabin king of Hazor heard of this, he sent word to Jobab king of Madon, to the kings of Shimron and Akshaph, 2 and to the northern kings who were in the mountains, in the Arabah south of Kinnereth, in the western foothills and in Naphoth Dor on the west; 3 to the Canaanites in the east and … Continue reading

“But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel. After specifically being told to destroy everything and keep … Continue reading

1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” And they went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab and lodged there. Before the conquest of Canaan commenced, Joshua wanted to know the best way to go about it. He sent … Continue reading
10 So Joshua ordered the officers of the people: 11 “Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.’” Immediately after God tells Joshua to be strong, courageous, not afraid, and not dismayed, … Continue reading
The first book I want to go deeper in is Joshua. Since I first learned of who Joshua was, and how God used him, I have been interested in his story. I have read the book at least once all the way through, and I love how this book transitions into the story of the … Continue reading
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
