Welcome

Submitted by GabriellaMartay on Mon, 08/04/2008 - 14:35

Hey there, Welcome to a place where you can come to seek God's truth and learn about who you were meant to be in Christ. This is not a place where you sit back and are forced to digest what has been presented to you, but a place where you are free to ask questions, gain new insight of who God is in you, and grow.

Let me introduce myself- My name is Gabriella Martay. I am 19 years old (this August) and passionate about living for our Lord, Jesus Christ. Even more than this, I understand that young people desire to get to know God better and I realize the obstacles we all face while doing so.

What's the point behind this whole Christian thing?

Submitted by GabriellaMartay on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 00:10

I was asking God what I should start blogging about next and a question came to my mind- What is Christianity all about? Many preachers and teachers could go on for days with heavy theology that discusses what being a Christian entails and blah, blah, blah... but what is it REALLY about? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discredit anyone's teachings by discussing this or trying to push you in one direction over another, but Paul says in 1 Peter 3:15 to "Always be prepared to give the reason for the 'hope' that you have".

Acceptance

"The Lord has declared today that you are His people, his own special treasure, just as He promised, and that you must obey all His commands." Deuteronomy 26:18 NLT
 
I want you to ponder that verse for just a moment. We belong to God, we are HIS treasure, and we are to obey all that He tells us to do. How much comfort does that bring to you? God takes us as we are, no matter what shape we are in. So often we are not accepted in society until we reach a certain standard, which is often difficult to attain to, if not downright impossible. But God accepts us as is, no warranty needed. It really bugs me that women are especially held to a physical standard while God accepts us as is. But that is beside the point.

God's Perfect Will

Submitted by one_step_at_a_time on Sun, 08/10/2008 - 18:07

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." Romans 12:2

 

Last year, the church I attend did a bible study through the book of Romans. I would recommend going to www.harvest.org/women and checking out the Women's Bible Fellowship link on the left side. It was a great encouragement to me throughout the year and also helped to convict me of some serious sin issues in my life. Romans 12:2 was one of those verses.

Prayer

Submitted by one_step_at_a_time on Wed, 08/20/2008 - 15:15

"Be good to Your servant, that I may live and obey Your word. Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in Your instructions." Psalm 119:17-18

 

I love that God gives us the opportunity to directly commune with Him. It is such an amazing concept. I can't wrap my brain around it, but then again, I don't think I ever want to be able to. But with that amazing blessing comes amazing responsibility. We are to obey what is revealed to us by God in prayer and heed His instruction. It sounds so simple, but God clearly knew that it wouldn't be. He is not a parent to be consulted about Your decision. You and I are the children who are to listen to Him as the only opinion that matters, no matter what  anybody else says.

Tired of Suffering?

Submitted by GabriellaMartay on Sat, 08/23/2008 - 23:09

Suffering is one topic that is constantly on our minds. People everywhere seem to be suffering. We see it in foreign places, in our own neighborhoods, and even in ourselves at times. And when we encounter these situations they seem soo hard; sometimes they even seem hopeless.

But did God create us to be a hopeless people?

Stand on something!

Submitted by GabriellaMartay on Sat, 09/06/2008 - 00:41

Hey there.

It's about 1:30 a.m. on the East Coast and all I can think is -God is GREAT! He's never false, never a liar, and never someone who will lead you on and then leave you hanging. I say this now because I am feeling His grace more than ever and recently I recieved something special from God that I was hoping, praying, and standing on a word for. Therefore, I can not just be content with the gift God has given me; I MUST tell you about a fundamental skill that is pivitol to your livelihood as a Christian (and human being for that matter).
