“Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.” ~ 1 Corinthians 2:12

This site aims to speak only the truth, only in love.
Wouldn't you agree? That if I am genuinely sharing truthful content, then I am showing you, my reader, sincere love because there's love IN the truth - how do we know?
JESUS is the Truth (He says so).
And hopefully, you understand that Jesus is THAT only begotten son of God, who was given by the Father out of His great love for humanity... to offer us eternal life.
When I share Jesus, I speak truth. When I share other news, please know I will always have researched it first and am believing it to be true! :)
VOILÀ!
There's Love in the Truth!

Karen's Thoughts...on religion
Have you ever tried "religion" and concluded that it just doesn't work for you? I did!
I understood that God wasn't pleased with me, and at times, I would do my best to count up all my wrong ways and attempt to turn over a new leaf. The problem is that I always failed. Being religious was just too much of a burden.
Even when I tried my hardest, it just wasn't good enough. I figured there was just too much sin in an average person's life to have to quit doing it all at once. I felt sad and hopeless and didn't see any point in going to church.
But I have since learned that becoming a Christian isn't some magical thing that happens TO us. That's what I expected! I thought since IT never happened to me then God wasn't interested in me.
Then I discovered that IT is about what has already been done FOR me by Jesus! We don't have to be perfect to please God, or for Him to love us and help us. Without the surrender of salvation, all my efforts to turn over a new leaf by my own will power was just like pushing my dirt around without ever getting it cleaned up!
I still had an emptiness in my spirit that I couldn't seem to fill, and I still had hurts and regrets that kept me chained to my past. When I asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins, He did and then IT happened to me! I was truly set free of my guilt and shame! I didn't have to rehearse my failures because Jesus forgave me and I knew it! I got baptized and accepted my new standard of living, caring what God thinks about my choices in life. I discovered that a relationship with the living God wasn't the same thing as religion or just being spiritual, it is an interactive relationship to help me at any time, every single day!
Okay, here comes the scripture from the Bible! I don't expect you to believe any of this because I said so. These words are from God's Holy Bible,and they are for you, as well as me.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this
is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no
one may boast.
Ephesians 2: 8-9
