The Price of Our Freedom

July 4, 2010

“Christ has made us free!” -Galatians 5:1
We were once the slaves of sin, Satan, and the world; but Jesus has made us free!
We are now delivered from the law–and are under grace.
We are dead to sin–and are justified from it.
We are delivered from Satan–and are at war with him.
We overcome the world–and are hastening out [...]

Clarification

June 15, 2010

My Bible study posts are a combination of what I believe the passage actually teaches and how it applies to my life specifically. However, I have not differentiated between the two types of journaling. Readers should be aware of this as they read my posts. My posts should not be considered expositions of Scripture, but [...]

89. Forever, O Lord, your word
is firmly fixed in the heavens.

On His Being Arrived to the Age of Twenty-Three

April 26, 2010

While time flies on, and I do not know what awaits me each day, hour, and moment, one thing is certain. My Lord will keep on holding me, molding me, and bringing me safely home in due time. What wondrous grace!

be grateful to be kept low

April 7, 2010

“God blesses us all up to the full measure and extremity of what it is safe for him to do. If you do not get a blessing, it is because it is not safe for you to have one. If our heavenly Father were to let your unhumbled spirit win a victory [...]

Psalm 119:81-88

83. For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,
yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
84. How long must your servant endure?
When will you judge those who persecute [...]

Christ has opened Paradise

April 4, 2010

In church this morning, we sang Christ the Lord Is Risen Today.
The phrase that stuck out to me was Christ hath opened paradise. How awesome it is to ponder that Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden because of their sin, the garden was securely guarded to prevent any return, and now [...]

Jesus Lives, and So Shall I

April 3, 2010

Jesus lives, and so shall I.
Death! thy sting is gone forever:
He, who deigned for me to die,

He shall raise me with the just;
Jesus is my Hope and Trust.
Jesus lives and reigns supreme;
And, his kingdom still remaining
I shall also be with Him,
Ever living, ever reigning.
God has promised; be it must:
Jesus [...]
