Teach Me to Love

Last time I told you how I felt that the Spirit was whispering that Titus 2:3-5 was the next passage we should study here on my blog. Today we’re going to start focusing on the specific actions we are to take to show that the Word of God is true [...]

Faith and Truth Lead to Godliness

I’ve been pondering what I should write about next on my blog, and it seems like the Spirit was whispering that Titus 2:3-5 is the passage that applies to women. Since I’m teaching women here, I thought I better look it up. I was arguing with Him a little, though. [...]

Let's Be Realistic

I’ve been pondering something all week. I’ve been asking myself if I intentionally follow God or not. You see, a friend commented to me, “Anne, sometimes your blog comes across like you’re perfect, but now that I’ve gotten to know you, I realize you’re not. You’re normal just like the [...]

The Lamb of God (Romans 3:25)

I feel inadequate to describe the significance of the Lamb of God, but tonight is Passover, so I’ve got lambs on my mind. I don’t know anyone who has lambs, and I really haven’t been around these animals in my lifetime. I can imagine a kitten, or a puppy, or [...]

“Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, because YHWH brought you out of it with a mighty hand. Eat nothing containing yeast… For seven days eat bread made without yeast and on the seventh day hold a festival to YHWH. Eat [...]

Out of Egypt

Someone recently noticed that I believe we should obey God’s law, and she said, “If the law is still in place, then Christ died in vain.” Is that true? Another friend asked, “How do you teach others to obey God’s laws, yet still make it clear that these are practices [...]

A Church Covenant

From the time I was a small child, the churches I’ve attended have periodically recited the following “Church Covenant” together. It was often printed and pasted into the back cover of our hymnals, so that we all had a copy to read aloud together. It does something to “covenant” or [...]

Reasons to Leave a Church

Over the past month, we’ve been studying the characteristics of a good church. If the local church that you attend was acting in a biblical way, loving and caring for its own, building each other up, reaching the lost in the community, and standing firm for the Word of God [...]

Reasons Not to Leave a Church

This is the fourth in my series on the Church, and we’ve already discussed three things: God doesn’t want us to forsake assembling ourselves together with other believers each week. Read more… God is calling out believers unto Himself, from every tribe, nation, and language. This is the Universal Church. [...]

Characteristics of a Local Church

Last week we looked at the universal church, which includes all the called-out ones who trust on the name of the One, True God, through faith in His risen Son, Jesus — in all times, from all places. We have learned that the word church in our English Bibles is [...]
