Applying God's Truth: Seeking to Obey God's Word, his Great Commission, Striving for Christlikeness!
Welcome! I aim to share my musings on my relationship with God, devotional times with Him and His Word. I am blessed by His wonderful grace, my faith in Jesus Christ, striving to be like him, living out the Great Commission in missions, the church, in daily life, a student of theology, books, ministry, life, and sharing some fun stuff!

"It may indeed be objected to our reasoning from the attributes of God, that they are matters so far above
our comprehension as to make it impossible to bring them within the narrow limits of our understanding, or
subject them to the forms of our logic. God is above us, unsearchable, past finding out. We should not be so
presumptuous as to think that we can compass with our little minds the infinity of his being and perfections,
or that we can fathom the reasons of his ways and the methods of his government.
Yet he himself addresses our capacity for knowledge of good and evil, and for judging between truth and error, between right and wrong, in relation to his treatment of men. He calls us to employ our thoughts, and send forth our inquiring and reasoning faculty vigorously and widely, with regard to the relations we sustain to him and his government. It is a great folly, a great sin to think that we are not made to think, and to argue that we have no capacity for argument, because our power of thought and argument is limited, and we can go no further than we have ground to stand on.
The principles of truth, which are elementary and self-evidencing, when presented to the mind, lie at the foundation of all our reasoning." - Rev. Alvan Tobey (1861)
