"Wash My Feet, Lord"


I am a sinner, saved by grace, loving and loved by the Saviour, and striving to live the words of Scripture throughout my sanctification. I need to be convicted and changed more into the image of Christ. I desire to share with you, within this blog, all that I am daily learning. I want to serve Christ and become more and more like Him. I don’t want to live a legalistic life, but I do want to live a holy one. I want to see God receive the glory He deserves. I want to see the depth and richness of the Gospel come back to the Church. I want to see God’s people encouraging and building one another up in Christ. I want to encourage young people, and be encouraged by them, to live a set-apart life. I want to give up my life for the sake of the Kingdom and it’s King.
May you accept what is written here, if it truly honors the Lord, as coming from a heart that purely wants to honor Jesus Christ, my Savior. As He teaches me, rebukes me, corrects me, and trains me in righteousness, I hope to grow in my knowledge and love for Him. May everything that is said here bring Him glory. If I stray from the truths of Scriptures, please tell me. May my words be full of grace, as though seasoned with salt. May "the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.” (Ps. 19:14)

Beware...

“False religion is the most heinous of all sins because it is a violation of the great commandment to love the Lord your God, the true One, with all your heart soul mind and strength. False religion that borrows His name, that creates a false god, but borrows the name of Christ, but creates a false Christ is the worst kind of blasphemy...I think preachers like this who preach this stuff hate the true God! I really believe that. I believe they hate the true God, and they are afraid to death that somebody might find out who He really is. That He is the God of absolute sovereignty, that He is the God of absolute knowledge, He is the God of perfect wisdom, He is the God of perfect holiness, He is in perfect control of everything, absolutely sovereign over everything. That kind of God terrifies these kinds of people. And He is a God who is concerned about fulfilling things on a spiritual level whether you ever receive anything on a temporal level. I think they have hatred for the true God. They hide the true God from the eyes of their followers, and they put in His place an idol of their own making with the same God.” – John MacArthur









"And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." - 2 Corinthians 4:3-4

Jesus!

"Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood - and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father - to Him be glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

"Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.

" 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, ' says the Lord God, 'who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.'"

~ Revelation 1:4-8

Fellowship of the Unashamed

“I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed, the die has been cast, I have
stepped over the line, the decision has been made. I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ. I
won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed,
my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low
living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed
visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotion, plaudits, or
popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or
rewarded, I now live by presence, lean by faith, love by patience, live by prayer
and labor by power.

My face is set, my gate is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is
rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot
be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity,
negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in
the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, let go, or slow up until I have
preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Jesus
Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go until He comes; give till I drop; preach till
everyone knows; and work till he stops me. And when he comes for His own, he
will have no problem recognizing me, because my banner will have been clear.”

- Rwandan Man's Confession



O God, help me to live this way. Help me to understand that without You, I am nothing and with You I am everything. You are what makes me whole. You are my identity, my reason to live, my exceeding joy! When I sin and disobey You, I feel distant from You. Thank You for promising me that You never leave me and for provinding me redemption through repentance. Thank You for Your living Words in John 15:10-11 which say, "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love...these things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full."

I ask that you burn onto the fabric of my soul the image of the Cross and of your resurrected Son, that I might run through this world with a torch and a flame that burns for you. Let me be hated, lied about, spat upon, critizied, deserted, mocked, cheated, slandered about, without fame, without money, without reason to boast so that Your name would be high, Your glory revered, Your love unescapable, and Your name exalted and known throughout all the world. Would You make me bold, unashamed, and unmoved. Would You kindle the fire of my heart so it may blaze for You.


Thank You for the Cross. Thank You for bearing the weight of my sin upon Your self that I might see your face. Thank Your for pursuing me with a relentless love. Give me Your love to pursue others with the Gospel that they might be saved and that You might be glorified.

O God, You are coming quickly! You will judge this earth in righteousness because You are just and sure.

O God, revive our hearts! Bring persecution to our nations that will separate the sheep from the goats within the body of professing believers in churches throughout our countries. Give Your people hearts that ask, seek, and knock, NOT for material things but for Your righteousness! Stop us from pursuing the things that gratify our flesh and make us seek Your face! Give Your Church a vision for Your coming Kingdom!


O God, make us faithful; make me faithful. Make me humble.


Make me like Jesus.
