What’s in a Name: God’s Temple
Sweet friends, the name “God’s Temple” has been on my mind for weeks. As I meditated on the name, I came to many of the responsibilities that I am sure you have heard before. Being God’s temple means that we need to take care of our bodies and our health, and we need to avoid…

What’s in a Name: Friend of God
Have you ever had a phrase in the Bible that just sticks with you? Like, no matter how long ago you heard it, even if you only heard it once in a Bible lesson or sermon, it hit you so deeply that you won’t ever forget it? I have, and today I want to share…

What’s in a Name: New Creation
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17 I shared in yesterday’s post that the Lord has been working with me for several weeks on the topic of identity, specifically identity in Christ, and today I’d like to share the…
