For followers of Jesus, our union with Christ is our new and lasting identity. And yet, seeking to live godly lives is not for the fainthearted. For many who pursue sexual integrity in thought and life, it can often seem like three steps forward, one step backward, on repeat. But God meets us in that...

Let’s be honest — most of us don’t live in clear moral categories. We want to believe we do. We want our stories, our theology, our art to give us light and dark, good and evil, hero and villain. But real life doesn’t often play by those rules. It plays by murkier ones. The ones where we’re not sure if we’re doing the right thing — or just the best we can with what we’ve got.| Cinema Faith

I’ve celebrated Resurrection Sunday my whole life. I’ve been fully familiar with Black liberation theology’s commentary that Jesus was a brown-skinned Jew who was killed by the state; most of my life I understood Jesus’ death on a cross as a political death. However, the end result of a lot of schooling and mulling over […]| Joshua Lawrence Lazard
As an author, one of the questions I often get asked is if any of my characters are based on people I know in real life. Honestly, the answer is sort of and not really.

Eventually, I gave her a name, Lottie, which wasn’t right (she […]| Michele Pariza Wacek
Luke 6:45 gives strong motivation to store God's Word in our hearts, letting the Holy Spirit teach us, so that great will be the possibility of (1) our having a word in season for others - delivered at an opportune moment; of (2) our blessing the Lord with the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts; and of (3) being blessed ourselves!

After the Father draws us to the Son unto salvation (John 6:44), The Son draws us to Himself, calling us into the most amazing and intimate relationship that our hearts could ever hope for. Then He calls us to something, a specific call according to the measure of Faith and of Grace that He has bestowed upon each individual believer (Rom.12:3; Eph.4:7). Let us receive Grace to not miss enjoying maximumly the first call - to Himself - by focusing more on what He's called us to do. The post Cal...| GGWO Church Baltimore
The Voice of the Lord is the important element in Bible stories. We discover this very early in our reading of the Word. See Genesis 1:3 “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” After falling into sin, Adam and Eve heard the Voice walking in the Garden to find them. Voices […] The post Noah and the Voice of God appeared first on GGWO Church Baltimore.| GGWO Church Baltimore
What we can't possibly know nor understand now regarding what it was like for the Lord Jesus Christ to to leave Heaven and come to earth and experience all that He did, we will know in Heaven; because we will be just as He is, and we will know even as we are known. For now, we seize the privilege of living by Faith - the only way to please God - to grasp even minimally the price He paid to redeem humanity to Himself.
