Godliness

1-31-16 Apologies in advance for any errors or changes in length. Our internet is down so I’m typing this up on my phone so I can still post it today. We’ve been talking about perseverance, right? 🙂 So today’s topic from 2 Peter 1:5-7 is godliness. The very word intimidates me. We are beingContinue reading “Godliness”

Perseverance

1-24-16 Happy snowy Sunday friends! I hope you’ve all stayed safe and warm through the snowstorm. If you missed the last post, you can read some thoughts on self-control here. Next up on our journey through 2 Peter 1:5-7 is perseverance.

Self-Control

1-17-16 Our series from 2 Peter 1:5-7 continues with self-control, also rendered as temperance in some versions.

Knowledge

Want your hand to go on vacation? What about a foot? Maybe something a little more insignificant like aContinue reading “God Said Go”

Limiting God

5-20-15 God is big. I mean really, really big. Infinitely big. And that’s something that, as mere people, is hard to comprehend. If I could put a soundtrack on this blog post it would be Christina Perri’s “Human”.
