Persevere. Do not lose hope.

April 29, 2023

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:2-4 When we pray for strength, Christ gives us chances to lean on Him and grow our faith. When we commit to digging a well of promise, salvation, etc. we are committing to the struggles and sweat that must take place. Digging a … More Persevere. Do not lose hope.

Dwell…

April 22, 2023

Last night, I was out of town, so I watched the live stream for The River. I’m glad I did. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22 Quench not the Spirit…  Quench: to be suppressed or extinguished. The Greek word … More Dwell…

Unchangeable Priesthood

April 19, 2023

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the … More Unchangeable Priesthood

Wells of Life

April 15, 2023

I was able to visit the River last night, so here’s another post sharing what I learned and wanted to share from The River. Last night’s lesson was on Breakthrough. We are the vessel of the Holy Spirit and He is the Living Water welling up inside those who believe in Him and submit to … More Wells of Life

Attitude over Action

April 7, 2023

This Passover season, it’s easy to feel like you are inadequately observing Passover as we are commanded. As a “Gentile” Christian, I have heard many times the common concern: are we supposed to observe the feast as well? I was shown a video that I enjoyed explaining it is not merely about the rituals but … More Attitude over Action

Slave to a Mindset

April 1, 2023

In my last post, I talked about wading deeper and surrendering to God’s compassionate mercy so that we may, in turn, fully love others. Oh, what a blessing it is to love others as Christ has loved us: unconditionally, unreservedly, and even in the face of adversity – to be a shoulder and arm for … More Slave to a Mindset
