Welcome

Welcome to Acts 13:15!

^"15... Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation or consolation or encouragement for the people, say it."

As brothers and sisters in Christ, if you have any word of exhortation, consolation, or encouragement for the people here, please say it!

This blog is designed to be a place of learning, discussion, and encouragement. This will be accomplished by sharing insights from God's Word and through "speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs."

Over the years since I found salvation, I have thirsted for God's Word. As it says in one of my favorite scriptures "As the deer panteth for the water, so my soul panteth after Thee."  I cannot get enough of Him!  Nothing gives me greater joy than to discover new insight into scripture.  Once discovered, it burns inside until I can share it with someone.  I want everyone to know how AWEsome is our God!

And so, this blog...

I hope to make this a place not only to share with you the jewels I have found, but I hope that you will share your gems with me as well, so that together we can give praise to His glory! 

As some of my opinions may be controversial to some, I have a couple of requests for "rules of engagement."  First, please understand that it is NEVER my intention to be offensive.  Though I find intellectual exchanges (debate) to be an exciting way to learn, I realize that some people instead view it as arguing.  I will endeavor to not be confrontational, but please, if you are feeling offended by anything I say, please tell me in order that I might appologize and explain myself.

Second, if you find that you disagree with anything I have said from a scriptural standpoint, please feel free to discuss it. However, please be certain to use scriptural support for your rebuttal.

I also have a passion for collecting and sharing quotes.  For example, one of my favorite by Helen Keller, "I yearn to do great and noble things in my life, but it is my chief responsibility to do small things as if they were great and noble." So, please feel free to share these as well.

Above all, I hope you find this a place to come for edification and encouragement as we run the race marked out before us.  Let's run it together! "It's so much nicer with two." (Winnie the Pooh)



Thank you for coming! Have a blessed day!
