    Death is a difficult thing to experience. Even as a Christian, it’s difficult. For some reason, I think we have high expectations that we aren’t supposed to mourn or cry when it comes to death because we’re Christians. But we need to remember that while death holds no power over us, it’s still a painful reminder that this is not how we were meant to live life. We were never meant to experience death but because of sin we do.  It also becomes complicated depending on the relationship you had with the deceased and the manner of their passing. For…

    Rahab was probably called many things throughout her life. Sinner. Prostitute. Wicked. Dirty. She was used to being labeled as these things. But God decided to intervene in Rahab’s life.

    Becoming a Rahab in Today’s Society

    Rahab is such an amazing character from the Bible. Her story is one of hope and redemption. Many of us today can probably relate to her story in one way or another. Rahab was a prostitute, living in the city of Jericho. She was a sinner and an outcast among her people. Her people were enemies of God’s people. And Jericho was to be destroyed by the Israelites.

    Knowing That God Loves You Just the Way You Are

    For me, it has been so easy to doubt God’s love. With all of the voices around me and the constant pressure from the world, holding on to God’s truth has been difficult. Does God really love me? Shouldn’t I clean myself up first if God is going to love me? Why would God love someone like me? I don’t deserve to be loved. God could never use or love someone like me… Probably most of you who are reading this have had similar thoughts. Does God really love you just the way you are? There are many people in…

    Rejoicing in the Hard Parts of Life

    Life can be so hard. There are so many difficulties that can come up each day. And I know how hard it can be to stay joyful during times like these. But when I’m going through hard parts of my life I always like to remember the story of Job. He lost all and went through an extremely difficult part of his life. But he still chose to be joyful and praise God. And that is the same attitude we each need to have when we go through hard parts in our lives. James 1:2-4 tells us “Count it all…

    Guarding Your Purity

    As daughter’s of the Lord, we should highly treasure our purity. It is one of the most important things we can possess. Whether you’re young or old, your purity should matter to you. Purity will look different in every season of life—single, married, or in a relationship. But in each of these seasons, you should work hard at guarding your purity physically, mentally, and emotionally. Psalm 119:9 ask us, “How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your [God’s] word.” Guarding your purity should be important to you because it is important to God.…
