Teach Me Oh Lord, To Love Like You

​​Heart of Worship week 1  by Sarah Hernandez ​ ​If you know me, you know that I love the ocean. It is a very special place for me and I feel a certain peace and closeness with God when I am there. I also surf, so I am very familiar with how the waves work, how the tide ebbs and flows, and the rhythms of the water. One day, while sitting on my surfboard, God gave me a vision of what kind of worship He wants from me, and he used the very thing I love, to illustrate it. I saw myself wading into the water, at first only knee deep, still standing on shore. I was completely content standing on the shore and feeling the water rushing back and forth, gently hitting my knees and back again. But there was a longing for more inside of my soul, to go deeper. I heard the Lord quietly beckon me out further, reminding me that He has everything under control, and to surrender the pre-conceived notions I have about Him and what my worship to Him may look like. Suddenly, I saw my...

This is in response to this Funker530.com article, and the statement made by ZH below. At this point, our president and his team want this anti gun agenda to happen so bad that he's gonna brush this under the rug. This was terrorist attack. I had a hard time sleeping last night because I have a heavy heart. This event was too close to home. Yeah we can pray for the victims but faith without works is dead.

Why Can't She Have A Great Big Manly Heart? A Look at Misogyny, Men, Women, and Society Original Post can be found here:  http://scrip.ly/!249 I'm looking at men and women, at dating, and I'm hearing all these things that women hate about men. Men do this to them, and that to them, and men don't allow women to do this, or that. They try and tell them WHAT THEY SHOULD DO WITH THEIR BODIES, not readily accepting that YES, women in turn tell men WHAT THEY SHOULD DO WITH THEIR BODIES. There is this built up expectation on what it is to be a man, and yet a women is supposed to be able to be anything, anything her little heart desires. And even calling her heart little is demeaning to some, because why can't she have a big heart, a great BIG MANLY heart? What I wanted to analyse initially was how women reconcile being a woman in Christianity with the different cultural mores and belief systems at play between women's lib and growing up in a society where t...

I feel like Christian dating is like a Rumspringa in a Sense Original Post is located here:  http://scrip.ly/!245 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 ESV 14  Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15  What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? Rebecca from Breaking Amish I wrote this to a woman who was looking for a man who followed Christ online, and never got a response. It was a seriousinquiry, because so often I find that people have basically taken what they like about Christianity, and left the rest. You are beautiful, and super intriguing. That being said, I've said that I think that the only real Christians left seem to be Amish & Mennonite; and although I'm nowhere near living like the Amish, mostly out of fear and a love for tech - I feel like Christian dating is like a Rumspringa ...
