Christ Rules Everything Around Me
Ephesians 5:8 - “For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!”
Psalms 40:1-3
I waited patiently for God to help me; then He listened and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out from the bog and the mire, and set my feet on a hard, firm path and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, of praises to our God. Now many will hear of the glorious things He did for me, and stand in awe before the Lord, and put their trust in Him.
All I know is every day is filled with hope.
Hebrews 6:19- We have this hope—like a sure and firm anchor of the soul—that enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.
I'm very open so if you have any questions feel free to ask. I also do any prayer requests. :)
Guilt isn’t from God. Conviction is. Guilt drives us into a corner; conviction drives us to Christ. Somewhere along the way, I was liberated from prayer-by-guilt. Part of this liberty came when I realized that God doesn’t relate to me based on guilt but based on grace. Grace reminds me that when I was guilty of deep distrust in God and his promises, Christ died and kept God’s promises to absorb my guilt, so now I have every reason to trust. Grace reminds me that God relates to me based on what Jesus has done, not on what I have not done.
Here’s what happens with this doctrine, that shouldn’t.
All of a sudden, the guys that believe this, think they’re part of this tiny little club. Like God’s overarching will is just to save a couple of people & they’re that couple of people & the rest of us are all…….
But the message of Reformed Theology is that God saves! That God wants to save! Not that He wants to damn but that He wants to save. It’s backwards. They get it backwards. & so then you get arrogant, usually 20-somethings, who walk with a swagger and beat the crap out of everybody theologically. I just can’t stand them.
Or they’ve just got these incisive, constant, blogs where they just want to breakdown everybody’s everything & show everyone’s error. & so I’m not a big fan of the Reformed community. I’m just not. But I can’t get away from the fact that these are biblical (doctrines) and I believe this should produce a monumental amount of humility & patience with everyone.

Spurgeon on Church Membership:
Do not go where it is all fine music and grand talk and beautiful architecture, those things will neither fill anybody’s stomach, nor feed his soul. Go where the gospel is preached, the gospel that really feeds your soul, and go often.
I know that the self harm photo got a lot of sad reviews, but this… it needs to be here. It’s so powerful and it sends such a strong message because this is real and it’s sad. If you don’t like this than unfollow me but honestly I will never NOT reblog this. It’s too powerful.

Refuse to buy into our culture’s obsession with being physically beautiful and sexually alluring. Grace will make you beautiful & will attract truly godly men to you. Make godliness & inward beauty your priority.
