  • I Wish I Knew Sooner in my Faith… 

    As we live and learn, sometimes we look back and wish we knew things sooner. If we had known certain things sooner, we may have done things differently. This week, we are sharing some things that we wish we knew sooner in our faith.    God’s plan is always better than mine, even if it…

  • My 5 Reminders

    There would be instances that we’ll look back in hindsight and think, “I wish I knew that sooner.” Both in life and in faith. It is a part of life. In fact, I think sometimes I learn the same lesson multiple times. Or perhaps, I should say I am reminded of the lesson. I like…

  • ACTS of Prayer

    How do you feel about prayer? Does it feel natural or is it difficult to get into?  I remember in a Bible study, one of the prompted questions was whether we view God as transcendent or relational. I remember checking off relational, seeing the question as an either/or. But after thinking about it, I realized…

  • Is God Mad at Me? Have I Done Something to Deserve It? 

    Do you ever feel like you have done something wrong to make God mad at you? Or when you go through trials in life, do you wonder if God is punishing you for something? If so, you are not alone. It can be hard sometimes to remember that God does not get mad in the…

  • Slow to Anger, Great in Faithful Love

    Is God mad or angry at me?   My first thoughts were “no, that’s against God’s very nature.” Then I thought of Psalm 145:8 – The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and great in faithful love.  While making sure I had the correct verse, I found Psalm 103:8 – The LORD is…

  • Perfection & Hypocrisy

    Are Christians perfect? Are Christians hypocrites?  The easy answer is, ‘no, Christians are not perfect.’ But hypocrisy? That’s a hard one to answer. I think the central core of Christianity should be one that is against hypocrisy, but we are still human and we still sin. Jesus even preached about being mindful not to fall…

Everyone has different ways of communicating with and relating to God, but being close with Him usually involves feeling His presence, talking to Him, and hearing from Him through His Word. It’s interesting to see how each of us has interpreted this post topic. For…

  • Who is God the Holy Spirit? 

    The Holy Spirit may be the most confusing part of the Trinity to understand. He is not the Father and He is not Jesus who came down to earth to sacrifice Himself for us. The Holy Spirit is our Helper. After Jesus died on the cross, rose again, and ascended into Heaven, the Holy Spirit…

  • Who is God the Son?

    The simple answer to the question Who is God the Son is the typical Sunday school answer, Jesus! Jesus was sent down to earth by the Father to die on the cross and save us from our sins. Because of the sacrifice He made, anyone who believes in Him will have eternal life. Jesus is…

  • Wonderful and Counselor

    God the Son is Jesus Christ, the Son of Man. Jesus is fully God and fully Man all at the same time. He came to this earth, born to the virgin Mary, and taught and did miracles on this earth. He came to this earth to pay our debt that we have because of sin…
