Reflections

I was looking through some books that I had in my room, and I found this one book that I got around three years ago, Jesus Among Other Gods: The Youth Edition by Ravi Zacharias and Kevin Johnson. I never picked it up before, but I thought it deserved a chance. Immediately as I started…

School is starting tomorrow. Wow! I just wish I could have one more month, one more week, one more day- but that’s not gonna happen, is it?:/ I love the freedom of summer; not just the freedom to do what I want, but also the spiritual freedom. I love being super connected to church, my…

Romans 14:11 “For the Scriptures say, ‘”As surely as I live,” says the Lord, “every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess and give praise to God.”‘”As I pondered this morning the thought that one day every person that’s ever lived will bow before the greatness of God, I was awestruck at…

Isaiah 1:18-20“‘Come now, let’s settle this,’says the Lord.’Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.’”I love the way this verse illustrates the forgiveness found in Christ. If only we ask Him, He can take our…

1 Peter 1:18-20 “18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. 19 He paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20 God chose…

I’d venture to say that each human being, sometime in their life, has a hard situation that causes them to question God and frantically ask Him why He would allow that bad thing to happen to them. We wonder why God sends this heartbreak to us, as if He is punishing us for doing something…

Matthew 6:25-34 25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly…
