I believe kisses are sacred.
authorunknown11:
They should only be shared with someone who treasures you, someone who respects you for all that you are.
For all of your days.
Do not sell yourself short by giving away your kisses to someone who will not be around forever.
You’ll never regret saving yourself for the one who proves themselves forever deserving.

but a woman who fears the LORD is to...”

Instead of defending “Calvinism”, simply defend God’s sovereignty in salvation.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons...

redemptivetears asked: Hey Ben! Will you pray for me? lately I have this feeling again where I just wanna be gone from this world and with God in heaven. How in the world do we as Christians even though we are made new, clean and pure in Him, still continually live with sin indwelling inside of us for the rest of our lives? How exactly do you walk in righteousness? I used to think that when being a Christian, sin no...

I have a 35 year plan
At least something I will write by at least 35 years from tonight.
That is a big thick book on what love is, in Christ, through God’s love, and the innumerable human parallels. The grace of the thing. The fullness and depth of the thing. And the eternal riches of joy which spring from the thing. A philosophy of love, presented as the gospel and apologetic, for the gospel is the power of...

Where there is no revelation [or prophetic vision], the people cast off restraint …
—Proverbs 29:18
There is a difference between holding on to a principle and having a vision. A principle does not come from moral inspiration, but a vision does. People who are totally consumed with idealistic principles rarely do anything. A person’s own idea of God and His attributes may actually be...

If I died right now
Am I living life the way I would desire for Christ to see me upon his return?
For me, the answer is an honest ‘no’.
Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord....
“Those who trust in you will in your mercy find
