Lord, I need You

This song to me is a theme song of my Christian life. Every word speaks to me. We really do need the Lord every hour. Temptations come every hour and only by his strength can we resist them.

1 Corinthians 10:13 says,

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Sometimes, when I face temptation or doubt, this song comes to my head, and I sing it like a prayer directly to God. Music has become an important part of my Christian walk. Sometimes the songs can covey exactly how I feel to God, and I use them to communicate with him, as he uses them to communicate his words to me.

What's Wrong With Being Modest?

This is a video I watched recently that has some interesting information. I'll be honest, as a woman, when I heard 'modesty,' I thought 'repressive.' It seems that a lot of pressure is put on women about what they should and should not do, and modesty in my mind was just another tool to that repressive end. But as I go along my christian journey, I have come to realize that modesty is not that at all. Modesty is beautiful. 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 says;

"What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

If my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, why would I dishonor Him by exposing my body unnecessarily? I would not. There is nothing wrong with modesty at all. Since I am aiming to please God, not man, I will choose to dress modestly to honor him.

Sabbath Truth

Here is an interesting video series that explains and explores the Sabbath from the beginning to our day. Each video is about one hour long, and it contains some interesting facts and history. I hope you enjoy it!

Sabbath Truth

Young Christians face particular challenges to their faith these days. I would know, I am one. There are so many influences out there that distract us and keep us from God. I have started this blog to share my experiences and hopefully learn from others out there about their experiences and challenges. I'll start with one of my favorite songs - the lyrics really hit me every time I read them:

Jesus Calls Us

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea,
Day by day his sweet voice soundeth, saying, "Christian, follow me."

Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store,
From each idol that would keep us, saying, "Christian, love me more."

In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil, and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian love me more than these."

Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Savior, may we hear thy call,
Give our hearts to thy obedience, serve and love thee best of all.
