I’m tired of Catholics and Protestants… – Experiencing the Refining
https://chellybelly.wordpress.com/2013/02/13/im-tired-of-catholics-and-protestants
They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After… (Isaiah 62:12). I’m tired of Catholics and Protestants…. With the recent events surrounding Vatican City, as Pope Benedict announces his resignation, I have found myself interested more and more in the Catholic faith. I have so many questions like how can so many traditions survive hundreds and hundreds of years? Or why is there still such a great divide between Catholics and Protestants? Well, Catholics a...

Are you dead, or just pretending? – Experiencing the Refining
https://chellybelly.wordpress.com/2013/08/14/are-your-dead-or-just-pretending
They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After… (Isaiah 62:12). Are you dead, or just pretending? 1 Corinthians 15 29-34:. If the dead will not be raised, what point is there in people being baptized for those who are dead? Why do it unless the dead will someday rise again? And why should we ourselves risk our lives hour by hour? And what value was there in fighting wild beasts those people of Ephesus if there will be no resurrection from the dead?

He said, Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! He is with you, O people of Ju...

In deep water… – Experiencing the Refining
https://chellybelly.wordpress.com/2013/03/31/in-deep-water
They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After… (Isaiah 62:12). In deep water…. 8220;The fuller the vessel the becomes, the deeper it sinks in the water.” C.H. Spurgeon. Why is it so hard to submit in every way? Because each submission requires death. Death to ourselves, our desires, our dreams, our comforts… Death to what we know. Are you a vessel so deep in the waters that the world can only see Christ in you? March 31, 2013.

Refining – Experiencing the Refining
https://chellybelly.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/refining
They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After… (Isaiah 62:12). I have a love hate relationship with the word refining. My spirit loves it, my flesh hates it. It’s a struggle that is pretty much summed up in Galatians 5:17, “. We deserve instantaneous goodness, blessing, peace, desires. Don’t we? We serve a God that wants to give us good things. So ask away! We serve a God that has endless riches, so open up your arms and take what you want. At the end ...
