Repentance and Restoration
What sin in your life has kept you from hearing God’s voice? To be completely honest, I didn’t want to write about a present sin struggle in my life. But as I sat here communing with God, I felt Him prompting me to write about the fear of man. Since I was a little...
Repentance and Restoration
What sin in your life has kept you from hearing God’s voice? To be completely honest, I didn’t want to write about a present sin struggle in my life. But as I sat here communing with God, I felt Him prompting me to write about the fear of man. Since I was a little...
Life in His Name
I love spending time watching a good movie. I enjoy getting lost in the story, trying to figure out what is going on and how things are going to go. However, I get very frustrated by movies that leave you confused about what happened. I’ve waited and waited for some...
Announcing Our Next Study!
Introducing our next study: Fear & Anxiety! Does life seem overwhelming at times? Do you struggle with sleepless nights? Are the "what if" thoughts invading your mind and robbing you of peace? Are you looking for relief from the fear and anxiety that is...
New Life Now
Our readings today feature two women at two different tombs: Mary Magdalene at Jesus’ empty tomb, and Martha the sister of Lazarus mourning her brother outside of his tomb. At the sites of these two tombs, there is resurrection. There is also evidence that people do...
The World Will Know
Today’s Scripture brings us to the table where Jesus sat with the disciples, on the evening He was to be arrested. Knowing all that He knew, knowing what was to come and what would be required of Him, Jesus prayed. He prayed for Himself, that by completing the work He...
This Sinner’s Take on Walking Worthy
We’re told to live in a manner worthy of the calling on our lives (Eph 4:1). In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul detailed God’s calling on our lives as followers of Christ; how He chose us to adopt, forgive, and redeem. Living a life worthy of such mercy and grace...
Remember Christ’s Words
It was Mary Magdalene who was the first one to see Jesus after His resurrection. I love that the Lord chose women to be the first ones to discover that the tomb was empty. When we found out we were expecting a girl, we named her Madeline, a derivative of Magdalene,...
Nothing Can Separate Us
One of the biggest struggles that I have had during my Christian walk is accepting the truth that God’s love for me is unconditional. It is so difficult for me to comprehend the depths that God would go to have an intimate relationship with me. Jesus, my Messiah,...
Hope for When it Hurts
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us” (Rom 8:18). Right as I sat down to write this post, I received a message from my mom about a family friend who is expected to lose her battle...
Morning Reminders
Romans 8:1-11 are some of my most favorite verses of the Bible. I daily need the reminder that "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." as well as the reminder that "the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you."...
When We Know the Ending
I’ve recently been re-watching a television show that I started several years ago. I’d seen the first two and a half seasons, stopping somewhere in the middle of season 3 because I was bored (clearly, I dropped it right before things got interesting). I had seen an...
The Supreme Sacrifice
“He was given over because of our transgressions and raised for the sake of our justification.” - Romans 4:25 Up until this time, the whole of humanity groped in darkness and condemnation because of our sins. The multitude of sacrifices in all cultures of the world...
Guilty
I’ll never forget the first time I felt real guilt. I was in elementary school, and a friend and I had been teasing one of our classmates by stealing his water bottle and hiding it around the classroom. Eventually, this little boy got tired of our silly game and told...
No Longer Estranged
At least once a week, a frownie faced toddler looks me in the eye and declares, “You’re not my best friend.” Little man does not like it when he does not get his way, and he communicates his displeasure loudly. I always lean down and plant a big, sloppy kiss on his...
Join Us in Prayer for Coronavirus
It is hard to watch as the death toll rises every day. I teared up on a YouTube video of how a Chinese nurse had to give air hugs to her daughter in order to not risk spreading the virus. Oh, how she missed her daughter and longed to go home. Oh, how she longed to...
Help from God
"I have experienced help from God to this day, and so I stand testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what the prophets and Moses said was going to happen: that the Christ was to suffer and be the first to rise from the dead, to proclaim light both...
Join Us in Praying for Our Branches
Sixty-one percent of women around the world do not have access to Bible study materials or biblical community. Because of this, people are not hearing the gospel and are living their lives without hope, purpose, or eternal security. At Love God Greatly we get quality...
To Know Him
As we entered this new decade, over sixty percent of people over the world once again created resolutions for the upcoming year and made goals for themselves. If you are anything like me, you quietly make resolutions knowing deep inside you won’t remain committed for...
Steadfast and Abounding
Recently, I sat across from a friend who had just attended a funeral. We chatted and laughed a bit before I asked the dreaded question, “So, how are you really doing?” She sighed for a bit and then gave me the oddest answer that stuck with me, “I’m really sad, but I’m...

Death Has Died
As a little girl I loved wearing a fancy Easter dress, a hat with ribbons, and white shoes that made the “high heel” sound when I walked. I was more excited about those fancy clothes and Easter chocolates then I was about celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. I...
A New Understanding of Serving (Risen Translations)
In recent years I have experienced a new sense of the word “serving.” My husband and I both serve in our community church in Brazil. We serve our community and our congregation wholeheartedly and with great passion. Recently, my elderly parents have needed constant...
The Resurrection Changed Everything
The resurrection changed everything… Everything we believe as Christians hinges on this truth: Jesus rose from the dead. Let that sink in for a moment. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ rose from the dead! Muhammad is still in his grave, so is Buddha, as well as...
Risen Introduction
He is risen! He is risen indeed! Two thousand years ago, the resurrection of Jesus Christ changed everything. After spending three days in the grave, Jesus conquered sin and death and was physically resurrected from the dead. This is more than a Sunday School story....
