Some professing Christians have rejected universalism intellectually, but practically they may end up leading universalistic lives.
They claim Christ is necessary for salvatoin, yet they live their Christianity in silence, as if people around them in the world will indeed be okay in the end without Christ.
-take from Radical by David Platt.
One of my family’s favorite songs came on yesterday. As we were all listening to it, I starting thinking of it as God’s love song to me rather than a love song between a man and a women.
It did unbelieveable things for my heart, soul, and mind.
Read these lyrics as if God is singing them to you.

I will stand by you. I will help you through.
When you’ve done all you can do, and you can’t cope,
I will dry your eyes. I will fight your fight.
I will hold you tight, and I won’t let you fall.
I won’t let you go.
I’ve recently been enjoying some new found products and food combinations. I thought I’d share the deliciousness. =)
First up, Bolthouse Yogurt Dressing.
I have fallen in love with this dressing. I love the flavor and the creaminess, not to mention that it is so much better for you! I love the Blue Cheese flavor as well as the Ranch, and I typically don’t like Ranch!
An interesting food combo-refried beans and sweet potato. with a side of salsa, of course. Enjoyed with 34 Crispbread Whole Grain Crackers (new love!)
This made a delightful, satisfying little lunch today.
During devotion yesterday morning, I stumbled across notes from a Bible study I took. The lesson covered contentment. A quote stuck with me through the day.
We can’t be filled with Him, if our life has no space for Him.
Just a reminder how important my daily devotions are.
I have found a new theme verse for myself. Going over it in my mind helps me through the struggles during the day.
1 Peter 3:3-4
Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry or beautiful clothes.
You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within; the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which is so precious to God.
The last part of verse 4 is my favorite.
gentle and quiet spirit-so precious to God!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.Philippians 2:9-11
