Even Partial Disobedience is Disobedience:

I was recently doing my Bible Devotional book over the personal revivals people will experience when they decide to rededicate their lives to Christ. This past week’s topic has been about obedience, and how important obedience is for our everyday lives and for our Christian walk with Jesus. Today’s Bible Devotion reminder was all aboutContinue reading “Even Partial Disobedience is Disobedience:”

We Feel like We Need to Play a Part:

Through this sermon, my pastor told a very interesting story.  The story was about baking cake mix.  A company originally set out this cake mix where the people just had to add water. They didn’t have to add anything else.  They just needed to add water and then bake it. It was going to beContinue reading “We Feel like We Need to Play a Part:”

Shouldn’t Just be about the Consequences:

I was recently continuing to work through my Bible Study devotional book about Revival and this week’s topic was over repentance.  There were many questions about how we feel over sin.  What do we think about sin?  How do we view sin?  One question was about whether we are fearful or regretful over sin?  AndContinue reading “Shouldn’t Just be about the Consequences:”

Both of Them are Invested to Save You:

Have you ever spent time investing in others?  Or have you done a lot better in something because of other’s investment in you?  I know personally that many others have invested in me such as my mom and dad and many other family members investing in my overall well-being, both physically and mentally.  There wereContinue reading “Both of Them are Invested to Save You:”

Pride is being Self-Protective of their Time, Rights, and their Reputation:

I started doing a Bible Study Devotional in the mornings called, “Seeking Him,” by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth and Tim Grissom.  It has been a very good yet simple Devotional that reminds us the ways we need to seek Jesus.  The second week was about humility and how important it is for our relationship with Christ. Continue reading “Pride is being Self-Protective of their Time, Rights, and their Reputation:”

It’s Not Necessary to Add to the Gospel:

I have started going through the book of Galatians with my Discipler Stacey.  I love the epistles.  I love getting to hear what is going on in the beginning of the churches and the Christian ministry.  I also believe these books provide great wisdom for any Christian to follow.  Something I didn’t know was theContinue reading “It’s Not Necessary to Add to the Gospel:”

Some Things that Glow actually are Toxic:

I was recently watching the movie, “The Radium Girls.”  I had never seen the movie before, but I had seen a musical play version my students performed while I was a teacher.  After watching the movie, I watched some clips about the real history of the Radium Girls.  This is not the happiest story inContinue reading “Some Things that Glow actually are Toxic:”

Prayer for those who are Lost:

I recently started reading a book called, “Women Who Risk,” by Tom and Joann Doyle.  This book is all about women who are Christians serving God in Muslim countries.  The first chapter was about a woman who overcame her demons and demon attacks, when she became a Christian serving the Lord.  Her mother did notContinue reading “Prayer for those who are Lost:”

Writing and Education has Power:

Recently, I have been doing some research on famous Christian women in history.  One of the biggest women who inspires me is Hannah More.  Hannah More inspires me for a few reasons, and I believe she and I have very similar interests for being years and generations apart. Hannah cared a lot about education, writingContinue reading “Writing and Education has Power:”
