Live for the glory of God
Since joining the blogging world in 2010, I have watched as an unmistakable message has grown ever louder and more militant — and now I feel compelled to speak. Not long after I began blogging, I began to see blog posts from those who were tired of the purity message. They felt it was legalistic and […]
Do you practice Christian meditation? Perhaps you’ve never heard of Christian meditation, it’s benefits, and the amazing ways it will transform your life and renew your mind. Maybe you’ve heard of Christian meditation, but it looked a little too much like eastern meditation for your comfort. Yes – I have read those posts, too. Here’s […]
How passionate are you for God and His presence? Maybe you remember back to the earlier days when you were a brand new Christian, and how eager you were to go to church and read your Bible. Perhaps you long to back to the days before you had kids, when you could spend endless hours […]

Most people don’t believe they can effectively memorize scripture. We’re okay with reading the Bible and prayer, even studying the Bible; but when it comes to memorizing scripture we’re looking for the nearest exit.
