Empowering Grace

By -






I have tried my very best to walk the life of faith in full. In doing so, I've been criticized for my unconventional lifestyle choices. I have been called foolish and unwise, and I'm pretty sure those who think that of me consider me cocky and arrogant for my lifestyle choices. But God remains a constant in my life. He continues to show me the blessing of FAITH. I continue to grow confidently in Him, in spite of those who call me "crazy".

Any confidence, of any sort, emanating from me, is totally, completely His. I walk the way I do because I KNOW His love for me. This is the power of His love, the ability to overcome any and all. Those of you who are unsure of who you are in Him, receive His love and be strengthened!

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

2 Timothy 1:7



Praise God this day, for the Glory of His Might dwells in us!

    Hannah, I'm amazed that the first thing we should look for is usually the last thing we notice: the love of Christ in others. Jesus through His ministry knelt to the misfits, spoke to the outcasts - loved them unconditionally. Yet, we are so quick to pick up on the most minute and inconsequential difference and reject someone simply because they're not like us. Shouldn't we love each other and leave the judging to God? Could be that's why we're human and He's God... Cause He sees through all the layers and gets to the heart of the each of us. Hey, Hannah, I love you just the way you are. May God keep blessing you daily.

Confessions of a Former World Wide Church of God Member

By -
Now some of you may have heard of The World Wide Church of God. For those of you who haven't here's a brief, basic, summation of WWCG, as described by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia : "The Worldwide Church of God (WCG), formerly the Radio Church of God, is a Christian church currently based in Glendora, California , USA. Founded in 1933 by Herbert Armstrong as a radio ministry , the WCG under Armstrong had a significant, and often controversial, influence on 20th century religious broadcasting and publishing in the United States and Europe, especially in the field of interpreting biblical end-time (eschatalogical) prophecies. However, within a few years after Armstrong's death in 1986, the succeeding church administration, led first by Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. and then his son, Joseph Tkach, Jr. , examined and changed the doctrines and teachings of which the WCG held fundamental differences with more mainstream Christianity. Many members and ministers left the WCG to

The Law of Sin and Death

By -
A relative and I were having a fascinating discussion about sin. He made a statement that rang very true to me. "So many Christians are obsessed with sin". For a long while, since reading other posts and forums about sin, I've been dwelling upon and studying about that matter. Although I've been compelled to analyze the subject by post, I haven't felt prepared to do so. As you all know, I'm experiencing a trial that proves to be a continuous battle for my faith. It has been a trial which continues to manifest the truth of Scripture, the Word of God, to my soul. It is during hard times such as these when the Glory of God is a sight to behold. And His goodness, a pleasant taste! "O taste and see that the LORD is good..." Psalm 34:8 Why do we obsess with sin? Either of our own or those of fellow Christians? Has Christ not set us free from the law of sin and death? "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of

Translation vs. Paraphrase

By -
Up until about four years ago, I studied primarily out of the New Living Translation. It was simple to read and I was comfortable with it. However, I did notice through out my studying in that specific translation, that passages just weren't making any sense. My husband preferred the King James Version and studied out of that, our studying together almost always ended out of the KJV version for the simple fact that the NLT was not adequate in conveying some of the principles of the Word. My husband, at that time worked for Tyndale House Publishing (which publishes the NLT version) gave me a Bible published by them called "The People's Parallel Edition". This edition had the KJV and NLT side by side. It was only then I began to see a true difference between translations. Romans 8:1 in both of these versions comes out different. Romans 8:1 KJV says "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
