GODFIRMATION: God is the Living God

We can always turn to the Bible to be reminded that the God we serve is alive, powerful, and intimately involved in every detail of our lives.

At times, Christians are ridiculed for their faith in a “pretend” or “invisible” God. I have heard more than I want to even type at this point. With our faith, we believe that God is indeed a living God. So I wanted to share this Godfirmation today, taken from the book of Daniel.

In times of doubt or struggle, we can always turn to the Bible to be reminded that the God we serve is alive, powerful, and intimately involved in every detail of our lives.

Intentionality for the Rest of 2024!

“Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

Consider this a journal entry of sorts as I spill about hitting goals with God.

“It seems like you’re being very intentional in some places, but not as intentional in others,” my personal trainer gently expressed in our weekly coaching call. She wasn’t judging my choices as I honestly reflected on my wins and losses of the week, but wanted to get to the why behind my choices and how I planned to improve. I was hitting strides in my workouts, but clearly wasn’t doing as well with nutrition. It’s a pattern for me. I’m great at working out. The FOOD is why I still haven’t reached my goals. And that’s 80% of the battle in weight loss.

I realized after my call that, as far as I’ve come in my life, I still have big changes to make. Not just with my nutrition, but with other areas that I desire growth in — my career, finances, home, and also Imperfectly B. Especially Imperfectly B.

It’s more than mysterious willpower or incredible discipline that will come out of thin air just because you “will it so.” There’s not even a planner alive that going to help if you don’t commit to hitting smaller action items that will help you get to the bigger goal. And it’s going to take some intentional changes over the course of the last four months of 2024.

Bible Verses for New Christians

It can be tough sometimes to navigate life as Christian, especially as a new believer with no background in the faith just trying to figure things out. New Christians are often confused about where to start and how to grow in their relationships with God.

While I am not a new Christian, I know all too well the importance of seeking God’s truths in the Bible for instruction and encouragement. My plan is to write more resources in the future, particularly for those new to the faith. For now, I wanted to share some important verses to remind new Christians about the love of God and who He calls us to be as believers.

GODFIRMATION: God is a Healer

This Godfirmation is one that excited me today. Taken from the good book of Psalms, this one is a reminder that God is a healer! 

We say it all the time. Yes, God is a physical healer. He can heal those on their sickbeds (I’ve seen it personally). But He also heals so much more in us.

Wednesday Word: “Your Fruit Will Help You Discern Bad Fruit in Others” – Jerry Flowers, Jr.

For this Wednesday Word, in one of his messages, Pastor Jerry Flowers, Jr. shared the importance of being able to discern good character (or “fruit”) in other people who are in (or are trying to enter) your life. Galatians 5:22-23 talks about the fruit of the Spirit, key attributes that should be reflected in the lives of believers. Those are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. 

Some people talk a mean game of believing in God but don’t truly walk as God has called us to live, particularly with these characteristics. I struggle with some of these still myself, but there is a difference between struggling with these on occasion and not even trying to tackle them. Now before you say “Only God can judge me,” that’s a Tupac Shakur song, not the Bible. There is such a thing as righteous judgment amongst believers (John 7:24) and it’s important to have discernment over who you allow into your life.
