The Great Commission: The Importance of Sharing Truth In The Midst of Deception

I couldn't ignore this thought that continues to swirl within my headspace. We are all living through a time of immense darkness & deception. 

Not only is it heartwrenching but also incredibly disturbing and quite unbelievable at this point. 

The world needs the Gospel now more than ever & today I felt led to elaborate on why sharing the truth of His precious word is SO important in our society. 

The Great Commission is the absolute command that the Lord gives us upon receiving Him as Lord & Savior.

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)

We are called to simply go and share the Good News of the Gospel and to plant seeds wherever we may be. So many souls live without Christ and absolutely every heart needs Him. 

Never underestimate the power of planting the seed. Go and tell someone about Jesus today. 

As I was placing this particular point together, my mind immediately settled on how incredibly blinded our society is to truth; the youth of today have been conditioned to believe in movements or ideals without having the ability to explain exactly why they are following it or believing in it. 

Science tells us that from eighteen to twenty two, the brain continues to develop (up until age 25) and young minds are incredibly impressionable. 

Their hearts continuously search for something to believe in and a place to belong. 

As I have previously noted, it is crucial to share the Gospel because if the seed isn't at least planted, that good news would remain hidden to those that are lost and without Christ. 

We are called to shine His light upon a world that is shrouded in darkness. 

"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

There are those who won't like you and will absolutely hate you simply because you are choosing to share the Gospel. 

And that's okay. 

The world hates the truth, but it so desperately needs it. 

"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." (John 15:18)

No matter the opposition, no matter what people throw at you..

Live with an unashamed faith. 

Be unafraid to share it with others. 

Be bold. Be courageous. 

Because, you never know what Christ will do through a heart that is willing. 

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." (Romans 1:16)

Things To Remember When You Feel Like Quitting On God

Having the opportunity to serve the Lord through writing faith-based short stories and devotionals will forever be my greatest joy.  I have traveled along on the writing journey for about ten years now, yet it would be untruthful to tell you that I've never felt like quitting.  I know I have.  Have you ever felt that way? Are you in a season of distraction or discouragement?  The Lord placed this thought and those questions on my heart because I know that many others who remain faithful in serving the Lord in their own respective way are met with same opposition from Satan.  Sometimes it's difficult for you not to feel distracted and discouraged---as if the joy that you once held in your heart is somehow nowhere to be found. The good news is that while opposition will never go away on this side of Heaven, there are things to remember and tools that we can use to fight off those fiery darts and keep on keepin' on! (One of my all time favorite phrases) Today, I wa...

The Price of Sin Will Never Be Worth It

There doesn't seem to be anything in this world that isn't crazy expensive.  The shortages that have come upon us through the past three years have just begun to escalate; it is becoming harder to have our basic needs met. The quality of everything that we've known and loved just isn't the same anymore.  And what you're being sold is never worth the hefty price you pay. This thought has hung around in my head for some time. I read and observe a lot. I can't help but take notice of this gradual acceptance of evil. Society is being continuously groomed to make light of something that is no joke.  Hollywood paints the picture of Hell as a place that is one big party where everyone will be able to freely continue their life of sin. The presence of evil here on Earth is welcomed, encouraged, and accepted. The Bible vehemently warns against doing so.  " Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put...

A Time To Reset (New Years 2026)

I have kept this thought on my heart for a while now (honestly even before Christmas celebrations ever began) & I have pondered over where to even start with it but I do sometimes make writing for the Lord too technical. The best of what He has given me has only ever come from the heart. ❤️ Have you ever dealt with a laptop that just won't cooperate?  I cannot begin to tell you how many seasons of laptops that I have lived through in the four years of college and 10+ years of writing. They all eventually meet the exact same fate:  Pages won't load as efficiently. The battery won't keep its charge. The smallest task becomes its greatest challenge.  However, the most agonizing death for a computer is to have a virus absolutely consume the entire operating system, effectively rendering the device completely unusable.  At that point it becomes necessary to attempt a factory reset. It essentially wipes your operating system completely clean & provides it with a mu...
