Nursing Home Adventures - "I'm Jehovah God!"
So I walk into Heritage on Saturday, and on my way to the rec room I see a lady I'd seen several times, maybe said hi to once or twice. This time she seems a lot more open, so I stop and chat with her for a while.
"So, what's your name?"
"Mickayla."
"What a nice name!"
"Mickayla Jehovah God."
"....oh."
"Do you know who Jehovah God is?"
"Wel-"
"I'm ( Read more... ) -
Taking a Break
I'm going to be taking a break from blogging, at least for the month of September; very likely much longer. Increased responsibilities at Heritage and prep for GRE is taking up most of my free time. Thank you all for reading, God bless, and I hope to be back as soon as I can! -

Kings and Priests, continued
Continuing from my last post, let’s consider the Eucharist. The Eucharist isn’t something that the priest does for the people- as if we needed anything besides Christ’s death on the Cross for the forgiveness of our sins. “Eucharist” means “thanksgiving,” and that’s what it is- a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving for what Jesus has already done ( Read more... ) -
Kings and Priests
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
(Revelation 1:5-6)
In verse 4, John addresses his letter to “the churches which are in Asia.” The letter isn’t written to the bishops, priests, or pastors in the ( Read more... ) -
Tuesday Prayer
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 John 2
Sometimes I get to thinking that God only wants to hear my "spiritual" prayers, the ones about salvation and overcoming sin and things like that. This verse tells me otherwise... Anyway, how can I pray for you?

Nursing Home Adventures - It Begins!
Well, as many of you know, I help run my church's nursing home ministry, which we started in late February. Because it was received so well by the residents at Heritage Nursing Home, we decided to start doing services there every week in the Fall. Basically, we don't see this as starting a "ministry," but as a new church plant. So, this Saturday ( Read more... ) -
Why Women Should Teach
(or, In Which I Offend Everybody I Didn't Offend Last Time)
I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
1 Timothy 2:12
Some churches explain this verse away and make it mean almost nothing at all to the Church today. This can’t be right- at least I can’t convince myself- because “all scripture-” not just ( Read more... ) -
Seeing God
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.
(Revelation 1:4-5)
This is a ( Read more... )
