Extraordinary Faith: Part Two

9/26/2025

0 Comments

 
Discover the extraordinary #women of the #Bible--Martha and Mary--in this inspiring blog post. #Learn how Martha’s service and Mary’s devotion both reveal unique ways to honor Christ. Explore lessons on faith, balance, hospitality, worship, and spending time at Jesus’ feet. This Bible study encourages women to embrace their God-given gifts without comparison, focusing on serving and learning from Christ. Perfect for Christian women seeking encouragement, discipleship, and deeper spiritual growth.

​Lessons from Martha and Mary

Last month, we looked at an extraordinary woman whom Jesus met at the well outside Samaria. If you were listing the exceptional women in the Bible, would you have started with the Samaritan woman at the well? Maybe not, but I love the interaction and conversation that Jesus has with her. As a result of their conversation, this woman made SURE of her salvation, and then she was compelled to SHARE her faith!

​She was the spark that ignited a multi-day revival in the city of Samaria. I can’t wait to meet some of those people who trusted Christ because an extraordinary woman was willing to deal with her eternal destiny and then cared enough to point others to the One who could give them living water as well.

The Sons of Korah: Week 8

#Discover the #beauty of #Psalm 84, the seventh psalm of the #SonsOfKorah--a powerful picture of #devotion and longing for #God’s presence. This psalm reminds us that #true joy, strength, and #security are found in dwelling with the #Lord, not in worldly pursuits. #Explore its #rich imagery of sparrows finding rest, valleys turning to springs, and the #blessing of #trusting #JehovahSabaoth. #Learn why “better is one day in His courts” than a thousand elsewhere. #NamesOfGod #BibleStudy #Scripture

A Devotion and Longing for God
​Psalm 84

The story of the Sons of Korah is one of remarkable redemption. Their ancestor, Korah, rebelled against God’s appointed leadership and perished under dramatic judgment (Num. 16). But “the sons of Korah did not die” (Num. 26:11). They lived—and from their lineage came some of the most heartfelt expressions of longing, worship, and devotion in the Psalms.

Though Korah sought to approach God on his own terms, his descendants teach us, through inspired song, what it means to approach God with reverence, humility, and awe. Let’s journey through the 11 psalms attributed to the Sons of Korah—Psalms 42, 44–49, 84, 85, 87, and 88. These psalms reflect a deep yearning for God’s presence and a resilient trust in His goodness, even in times of sorrow and silence.

This heartfelt post reminds us why we #mourn even those we’ve never met, and calls us to be bold in our faith, speak truth in love, and #pray for #revival. Be inspired to live courageously for #Christ today. #FaithInJesus #HopeInChrist #Faithful #TurningPoint
"If you believe in something, you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas - not run away from them or try and silence them." —Charlie Kirk
When my plane touched down in Salt Lake City, I had no idea that in just an hour or so later, Charlie Kirk, who was not far away, would be landing in Heaven. That thought has stayed with me—it feels heavy and surreal. Even though I never met Charlie personally, I, like so many others, feel the deep ache of his absence.
​

Charlie once said that what he wanted to be remembered for was simple: his faith in Jesus Christ. That was the core of who he was, the legacy he longed to leave behind. He often reminded us of the words of Scripture—calling us back to the foundation of God’s truth, urging us to be bold in our faith, and never afraid to speak the truth in love.

3 Things a Tsunami Taught Me About Disobedience

9/5/2025

4 Comments

 
Discover 3 powerful #lessons from a real-life #tsunami about the dangers of disobedience to #God. This #faith-filled #Christian blog post explores how disobedience ignores consequences, hardens hearts, and cheapens #grace. Drawing on #Scripture, #biblical examples, and #wisdom from voices like #Bonhoeffer, it challenges #believers to heed God’s Word, embrace repentance, and live in joyful obedience. A timely reminder that God’s commands protect, #guide, and lead us into #true life in #Christ.
This past July, there was a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia, which set off tsunami alerts and evacuations across the Pacific. Living in Hawai’i, we received emergency notifications on our phones and sirens sounded throughout each neighborhood, alerting us of an impending tsunami that was predicted to arrive by early evening, giving us islanders about 4-5 hours to prepare and move to higher ground if need be. 

Thankfully, we live far enough inland to be outside of a possible flood zone, but people who live or work near the coastal areas were told to evacuate immediately. Hotels and resorts told vacationers to move up to higher floors. Officials cautioned people to stay off beaches. Warning sirens sounded every hour to remind people to get somewhere safe as quickly as possible.
