This blog post was originally published on my church blog, right over here. In today’s society, marriage often gets a bad reputation. Roughly 40% of marriages in Canada end in divorce, and, as the world becomes more and more saturated in “free sexuality” culture, the desire to be committed to one person for a lifetime …
…and our first quarantined Easter! And, I pray, last. Not because it was a bad weekend… it was anything but. It’s the weekend we get to celebrate Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection – the fact that God came to dwell perfectly in a human, died for our sins, so that we could live freely for …
I was taking a nap after church today when I found myself with a notebook and pen in front of me. Before I knew it, the word “Loved” was written on the page. Writing it had felt involuntary, and reading it made me feel really doubtful. Loved. Did I know that I was loved? Believe …
