"But God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are his,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.' • 2 Timothy 2:19 "You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk a...

We have the opportunity to reflect and reciprocate the hospitality of our Creator by making intentional arrangements to meet with Him ... a few thoughts from the start of a study on the lifestyle of the levitical priesthood.  Referenced Scriptures: Exodus chapters 20-31  ~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take heart. ~ 

" Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord Go...

How will we spend our redeemed time and restored energy?  If we can't be bothered to engage with God and in scripture unless it's a production, we need to repent and get our life together, lol. The Word of God does not need to be enhanced by visual expression, or made more entertaining. We adorn the Gospel by living it and abiding in Christ. As long as we idolize, and are addicted to ent...

God is never unfaithful, but I have often been impatient and unthankful ... thoughts on delight in God as a permanent heart posture and a necessary component of endurance; the faithfulness of God to continually transform us into enduring oaks of righteousness. Recommended Reading :: Ecclesiastes, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, 2 Peter 1:3-10, 1 Peter 1:6, 1 Peter 4:12-13,19; James 1:2-4, Psalm 34, Psalm 37,...

Imagine an environment where everyone willingly gives God their whole hearts and undivided attention. God's original design, which was restored and reiterated in Jesus' sacrifice is that He would have a people who have no consciousness of sin. Through Jesus, we now have the great privilege of worshiping Him whole-heartedly in spirit and in truth.  « referenced passages {I recommend readi...

...some thoughts on the sufficiency of God and His Word to sustain us ...  the passages that inspired  My God Will Hear Me :: Psalm 73, Micah 7:7-8 {Lyrics} HARD IS  RELATIVE SOME THINGS YOU'D DREAD TO LIVE AGAIN BUT AS FOR  ME EVEN A FAILING HEART IS NOT WEAK BOXING TO BELIEVE IN MORE THAN CARROTS ROPED ON STRINGS I KNOW MY GOD WILL HEAR ME I KNOW MY GOD WILL HEAR ME                         ...

Some thoughts on honor as generational blessing and protection. Where there is honor, there is also humility and where there is humility there is love and there is compassion; so rather than wanting to be right as our first priority, we will want to see others do well. We will want to see them prosper and be in good health even as their souls prosper. ~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take...

Thoughts on the glories and messiness and awkwardness of spring; learning to discern our personal seasons.  The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there...

A vague and meandering half-history of Rebekkah The Band and her logo, caffeinated by 28 ounces of seasonal Ube latte from my friendly, neighborhood unionized coffee shop, and featuring a made-for-Youtube ‘What’s In My Bag’ segment . I do plan to be a lot more focused on the upcoming episodes of this mini-series that is the song stories for my new album, ‘ at Dusk ’ which releases February 29th! ...

Some thoughts on perfectionism as the root of emotional hypochondria: perfectionism has a way of crying ‘crisis,’ and accusing you of dysfunction when all you are experiencing is the messiness embedded in the human condition.   ~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take heart. ~ 

Suffering teaches us not to lean on our own understanding if we will let it. As light, we are called to illuminate darkness; as children of God we are called to walk in love; but we can't just waltz all willy-nilly into darkness wearing nothing but good vibes and pajamas. We must be strong in  spirit, with overflowing oil in our lamp, and wearing the full armor of God. In our suffering, God i...

Each time I choose perfection in the love of God over pettiness, I am participating in the promise of Habakkuk 2:14: For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.  I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad ... those who look to Him are...

Some thoughts on the glories of nuance and the importance of not leaning on our own understanding; Sabbath as surrender and an avenue of restored delight in, and reverence of the personhood of God.  Mentioned (Unsponsored) Resources: The Weight of Glory , C.S. Lewis The Knowledge of The Holy , A. W. Tozer Update (2026): Unfortunately, I've been made aware of egregious abuse and fraudulence in...

To modify a quote from Bilbo Baggins, I don't know half of me half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of me half as well as I deserve. Ha. But God knows me better (and thinks more highly of me) than I know. He has intricately gathered me together with purpose and intention and delight. The more completely I surrender to His process, the more clearly I see the importance of no...
