".....Apart from me you can do nothing" John 15:5

I know it has been awhile since I last posted. I’ve been very busy with school and life but I always feel drawn back to writing the things the Lord shares with me in hopes that it will encourage someone or set someone free. So since my last post I’ve thought really hard about the working of the Holy Spirit in us in God’s effort to sanctify us. Now we know that our faith in Jesus’s finished work is what justifies us in the sight of God. This doesn’t mean our actions are perfect at the moment but it merely means we have been acquitted in God’s sight...

Humility pt 2

24 " A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 And he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. 27 For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves. Luke 22:24-27 So this is something that has bothered...

Humility pt 1

I had posted this on Facebook about a year ago and I had this particular article on my heart all last night so I’ve decided to repost it in hopes that it will bless someone. This is something the Lord brings me back to time after time. This is for those of you who know that God has called you to great things...Which I know is all of us. Even buildings fall for the lack of integrity. The word integrity means several things but the one im focusing on is the quality or state of sound moral principles; uprightness, honesty, and...

Jars of Clay

                I’ve prayed a lot recently about wanting to understand the “riches that are in Christ” or our “inheritance that is in Christ”. I’ve prayed many prayers lately modeled after the following verses, “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches...

Only Believe

So I've been talking about doing this blog for awhile now and it keeps changing every time I sit down to do it. Ever have that problem? So here it goes. Its been an interesting journey the last month or so. I've been diving deep into the grace of God and having it become alive in me. Just reading the word, meditating on it, and listening to others I've come to find and believe that the Gospel truely is power to those who BELIEVE. I've come to find that what we believe has a large impact on our life. What happens when we believe the Gospel: Mark...

Dont Give Up

2 Corinthians 4:7-18 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So death...
