the gospel is not the gospel if repentance isn’t included.

believe it or not: being single doesn’t mean your life is lacking. being single doesn’t mean that your life is less fulfilled than your married friends. being single has advantages that marriage doesn’t. don’t give into the lie that you need someone to complete you.

hot take: you can’t justify your idolization of marriage & relationships by saying “it’s a God given desire!” there’s a difference between a Godly desire & idolization. usually when someone gets overtly defensive, it’s a clear answer of which one is taking place in the heart.

ladies, there ARE other women who struggle with sexual sin. pornography masturbation lust sex addiction sexting adultery sexual immorality is not just a man’s sin. let us confess our sins to one another and let the hope of the gospel wash over our guilt-filled hearts!

be around people who spur you on towards good works. be around people who exhort you to Christ. be around people who call you to deeper repentance and obedience. be around people who celebrate the gifts the spirit has given you. be around people who lead you to holiness.

believer, it’s better to have a small number of friends than to have many friends who cause you to stumble in your journey with Christ. who we surround ourselves around have a huge impact on what we believe, what we believe about ourselves, and our everyday choices.

holiness is not just going to happen as you get older. holiness is going to slowly happen as you abide in the spirit of God, put to death the things of your flesh, and forgive the people who don’t deserve it.

Christians, our life is way too short to be quiet on topics that lead people to death & destruction, especially in the name of “keeping the peace.”

Marriage HAS purpose, but marriage is not OUR purpose.

singleness is not the enemy and marriage is not the solution.

we’ve forgotten that singleness is not the enemy because we’ve believed for far too long that marriage is the main prize to be won.

Girl- you are not put on this earth for every man to find you attractive and desirable. Boy- you are not put on this earth for every woman to find you attractive and desirable.

God has forgiven the sin in your life that you thought disqualified you. but we must remember that this forgiveness is not because we’ve cleaned up just enough until the next time- no! it’s purely because His grace is unearned & unmerited.

“you should love your crooked neighbor with your cooked heart.”

here’s your reminder to take those thoughts captive, loved one. every guy/ girl won’t always think you’re attractive. our value goes beyond what human beings think. our purpose is for His glory. take those thoughts and remember why He created you in the first place. for Him!

in His sovereign love, we find rest and peace.
