The Intercessor | A Gospel Study

In the beginning was the Word. In the beginning, He spoke and created the world. And it was good, very good. But I chose to worship the created thing rather than the Creator. I turned to my own way, leaning on my own understanding, esteeming the riches of Egypt as more desirable than the One […]

Behold My God!

“Olivia, I think it’s just so great that you’re doing this!” Over the last few months, I’ve had several people say things along those lines. It’s really sweet and really encouraging. They want to build me up by pointing out what they see God doing in me. Or sometimes,…

That Life Might Die

The Maker of man became Man that He, Ruler of the stars, might be nourished at His mother’s breast; that He, the Bread, might hunger; that He, the Fountain, might thirst; that He, the Light, might sleep; that He, the Way, might be wearied by the journey; that He, the Truth, might be accused by […]

Binding and Loosing: The Pleiades

I like catchy titles, so I’ll do the right thing and let you know up front that this post pretty much has nothing to do with Matthew 16:19. Haha. I was inspired to share this story/astronomy lesson after I read Brandon’s post in which he nerded out astronomically and theologically. I LOVE astronomy, and it […]

You Don’t Have to Fail Any Longer

Don’t pray that God would teach you how to love like He loves. Pray that He would fill you with Himself and He would love in and through you. Don’t pray that He would teach you to have joy. Pray that the living God, full of joy, would enter into you. Don’t pray that He […]

Victory March

The Lord roars from Zion, “It is finished!”And purchases His brideThe cost His everything, life flowingFrom His hands, His feet, His sideGreatest weakness His greatest triumphIn death He overcameTread underfoot man’s iniquities Scorned Satan’s fameAt His command death released HimVictory march from the graveMade conquerors from the once defeatedOh, He is able to save!
