Hebrews has always been an interesting book of the Bible since we don’t know who wrote this book. I finished reading Hebrews a few months back and I’m still mulling over Hebrews 12:1-2a (NLT): Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of…

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.2 Corinthians 4:8-10 NASB Why is…
I’ve been reading a lot of Paul’s writings in the Bible lately. My favorite part is when he ends his letters. It’s not because I don’t like what he’s written and I’m glad it’s over, nope, it’s more because he always ends with encouragement. Now may the God of peace…
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I feel and trying to figure out how to solve life’s issues right now. I’ve come up with nothing. I have no solution, I can’t fix my problems or your problems. Something seems wrong about my not being able to make things…
