Christians often talk about the importance of memorizing Scripture to hide God’s Word in our hearts. As I grew in my faith and became Reformed in my understanding of Scripture, I also began to see many reasons to memorize the Westminster Shorter Catechism, which gives a foundation of doctrine from the Scriptures. What is the Westminster Shorter Catechism? The Westminster Shorter Catechism is a concise and systematic summary of Christian doctrine and beliefs. It was written between 1643 and 1648 as part…

Marriage. Motherhood. Homeschooling. You can’t do them in your own strength. You may have had ideas and plans for how being a wife or parent was going to go for you. But you may also have quickly found out that you are not really in control of everything, especially when it comes to how other people – our husbands and children – are going to act. So we need much grace from God in our marriages, parenting, and homeschooling. As Jesus tells us in John 15:5, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and…

My word of the year is “joy.” As I get older and live in this estate of sin and misery that is our world, I NEED to focus on joy more, not the passing pleasures of “happiness.” For happiness is just a temporary feeling. But joy is a deep-seated conviction that it is well with my soul – that is, an enduring perspective and sense of peace, contentment and knowledge that everything is going to work out for God’s glory and my good and that can only come from having a relationship with Christ. Joy is a huge emphasis in…

Psalm 30 1I will exalt you, Lord,    for you lifted me out of the depths    and did not let my enemies gloat over me.2 Lord my God, I called to you for help,    and you healed me.3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;    you spared me from going down to the pit. 4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;    praise his holy name.5 For his anger lasts only a moment,    but his favor lasts a lifetime;weeping may stay for the night,    but rejoicing comes in the morning. 6 When I felt secure, I said,    “I will never be shaken.”7 Lord, when you favored me,    you made…

Living in Love

In the first five verses of Psalm 103, we see the benefits of being God’s child – If we are in Christ, He:forgives all our sin,heals all our diseases,redeems our lives from the pit,crowns us with love and compassion, andsatisfies our desires with good things so that our youth is renewed like the eagle’s. God’s grace enables me to soar like an eagle and not grow weary! But even more than grace, God loves us! This isn’t some temporary passing emotion like “falling in love” but a love that is connected with forgiveness of sin. As sinners, we shouldn’t be…

January and February are difficult months for me. The days are cold and still short so I don’t go on as many walks, there isn’t much to look forward to, and it is the middle of the homeschool year where motivation is low. On a good year, there are days when I am just weary. And after almost a year of pure craziness in our world, I’m even more weary of it all. Whether because I get busy or lack motivation, I also find it easy to get out of my habit of spending time with God in the Word…
