Gratitude Journal, Part 2

By -


We live in a world that is divided and broken because of sin. Yet even in the midst of this, we know that God is good, and that all good things come from Him. Therefore, we should be grateful. I want to share some of the things that I am grateful for today.

1. My Own Safety

 While many around us are getting hurt because of our nation's current situation, I have been blessed because I have been able to stay safe through all of it. This is something that I thank God for, because I know that, unless He protects us, we will have no protection from the dangers around us.

2. Acceptance to Seminary

 Recently, I was accepted to Nazarene Theological Seminary. I am excited to continue to study as I pursue an M.Div. I have also received a small scholarship that will help with some of the expenses. I am grateful that God has allowed me to be accepted and has provided this scholarship for me.

3. The Success of This Blog

 This blog has had nearly 1,300 views (at the time of this writing) since it began just over a month ago. I am grateful that God has allowed me to have such an audience to reach out to.

4. My Patrons

 This blog is supported by the generous donations of my patrons on Patreon. The income from Patreon will be set aside to help pay for my time at Seminary. I am grateful that individuals have seen this as a worthwhile endeavor and have chosen to support both me and this blog at this time.

The Voice of the Martyrs The Voice of the Martyrs was founded in 1967 by Romanian pastor Richard Wurmbrand. After the USSR took over Romania in 1944, Wurmbrand worked with the underground church, which eventually led to his arrest and 14 years of torture and persecution in Communist prison. Eventually, Wurmbrand was ransomed out and came to the United States. Since Wurmbrand founded the organization, it has worked tirelessly to keep Christians in the Western world informed about the persecution that our brothers and sisters around the world are going through, as well as providing ...

  Introduction There are different beliefs within the King James Only Movement. I would like to explore two of them in this introduction. It is important to understand some key distinctions between these two groups, or else it may seem that I am attacking a position that I am not attacking. Therefore, I will draw a distinction between two different groups within the King James Only Movement. The first camp simply asserts that the King James Version is the best English translation. This claim could be labelled the "Classic KJV-Only" position. This is the position that was held by what appears to be the majority of people who advocated for the King James Version's superiority to other translations up until about the middle of the 20th century. Typically, a person in this group will hold to the idea that the Textus Receptus is divinely preserved, and the King James Version is the best translation from the Textus Receptus. Or, in some cases, that the Textus Receptus is the be...
