Have you ever approached Scripture by writing it out in a way that specifically applies it to your life? Some people have filled in their names in the place of love in 1 Corinthians 13 to check themselves: ” Am I acting in love?” This morning, I was led to check my heart by asking … Continue reading Let’s Get Personal
If an apostle were to write a message to address modesty in the church today, I imagine it would read something like this: Wassup, ‘Merica! Greetings from all yo’ homies over here. Peace! For God’s sake, quit taking vacations to 3rd world countries and telling people you went on a missions trip. Y’all be wearing … Continue reading Gucci and Goodwill
I feel like a bird singing outside of a dark stained glass window irritating the sleepers inside who don’t want to wake up to a new day. It’s easy to live life lazy and complacent in your own theology. I mean, you can dream of doing great things without ever actually doing them at all! But is that really life?
There’s a freedom that’s far greater than the freedom you’ve been TOLD you already have, but have never truly experienced.
This morning, I’m longing for my heavenly home. TMJ, headaches, migraines, arthritis, and all degenerative problems will no longer hinder me in my super duper resurrection body. I’m praying today for heaven to invade Earth like a freight train… Starting in me. Pray with me: I come to you, my Lord, my heavenly Father, my … Continue reading Your Kingdom Come, a Prayer
I believe God has purposely woven a passionate desire for revival and breakthrough into every fiber of my being. It started early in my walk with Him. In January 2004, He pierced me with conviction as He broke my hard heart open with the needle of conviction. He wounded me with His love and has … Continue reading Revival and Breakthrough
For years, people have told me I’m different. My story is an exception to the way people “typically” get saved. As an exception, I (evidently) feel and experience things other “typical” or “normal” women don’t. For example, I am passionate about leading and lean on logic more than my emotions. I’ve been categorized as an … Continue reading I’m an Exception?
I have read books by Christian authors throughout the years that have helped me, books that have hurt me, commentaries on Scripture that have misled me, and commentaries that have helped me. Writers often seek to help, teach, and train others in how they “should” live. I believe most have pure motives. I must admit … Continue reading Social Media Wars
God’s will is that your lives are dedicated to him. This means that you stay away from sexual immorality and learn how to control your own body in a pure and respectable way. Don’t be controlled by your sexual urges like the Gentiles who don’t know God. (“1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 (CEB),” n.d.) Yes, I’m going there. … Continue reading Stumbling Blocks
Yesterday was a big day for me. After a few scheduling curveballs, I could finally take my Bible Knowledge, Doctrine, and 16 Fundamentals tests to apply for the credentials I’ve been working towards over the last year. And now I wait. When I got home, I felt so much lighter! Partly because I had been … Continue reading Shattered Ceilings and Vandalized Roofs
This is the scripture that jumped out at me this morning. Many teachers warn others about the dangers of developing a “religious spirit” or a “religious mindset.” Those phrases used to bother me as religion that’s pure and undefiled is what God wants. But this isn’t the religion those teachers were referring to. No, they … Continue reading Beware of the Yeast!
