Nothing Can Separate Us
One of the biggest struggles that I have had during my Christian walk is accepting the truth that God’s love for me is unconditional. It is so difficult for me to comprehend the depths that God would go to have an intimate relationship with me. Jesus, my Messiah,...
Nothing Can Separate Us

Hope for When it Hurts
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us” (Rom 8:18). Right as I sat down to write this post, I received a message from my mom about a family friend who is expected to lose her battle...
Morning Reminders
Romans 8:1-11 are some of my most favorite verses of the Bible. I daily need the reminder that "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." as well as the reminder that "the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you."...
When We Know the Ending
I’ve recently been re-watching a television show that I started several years ago. I’d seen the first two and a half seasons, stopping somewhere in the middle of season 3 because I was bored (clearly, I dropped it right before things got interesting). I had seen an...
The Supreme Sacrifice
“He was given over because of our transgressions and raised for the sake of our justification.” - Romans 4:25 Up until this time, the whole of humanity groped in darkness and condemnation because of our sins. The multitude of sacrifices in all cultures of the world...
Guilty
I’ll never forget the first time I felt real guilt. I was in elementary school, and a friend and I had been teasing one of our classmates by stealing his water bottle and hiding it around the classroom. Eventually, this little boy got tired of our silly game and told...
No Longer Estranged
At least once a week, a frownie faced toddler looks me in the eye and declares, “You’re not my best friend.” Little man does not like it when he does not get his way, and he communicates his displeasure loudly. I always lean down and plant a big, sloppy kiss on his...
Join Us in Prayer for Coronavirus
It is hard to watch as the death toll rises every day. I teared up on a YouTube video of how a Chinese nurse had to give air hugs to her daughter in order to not risk spreading the virus. Oh, how she missed her daughter and longed to go home. Oh, how she longed to...
Help from God
"I have experienced help from God to this day, and so I stand testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what the prophets and Moses said was going to happen: that the Christ was to suffer and be the first to rise from the dead, to proclaim light both...
Join Us in Praying for Our Branches
Sixty-one percent of women around the world do not have access to Bible study materials or biblical community. Because of this, people are not hearing the gospel and are living their lives without hope, purpose, or eternal security. At Love God Greatly we get quality...
To Know Him
As we entered this new decade, over sixty percent of people over the world once again created resolutions for the upcoming year and made goals for themselves. If you are anything like me, you quietly make resolutions knowing deep inside you won’t remain committed for...
Steadfast and Abounding
Recently, I sat across from a friend who had just attended a funeral. We chatted and laughed a bit before I asked the dreaded question, “So, how are you really doing?” She sighed for a bit and then gave me the oddest answer that stuck with me, “I’m really sad, but I’m...

Introducing our 2020 Love God Greatly writers! We're honored to partner with some incredible women this year. You'll be hearing from each of these women in our blog posts for each study. These women come from a variety of backgrounds, and we're thankful to include...
Death Has Died
As a little girl I loved wearing a fancy Easter dress, a hat with ribbons, and white shoes that made the “high heel” sound when I walked. I was more excited about those fancy clothes and Easter chocolates then I was about celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. I...
A New Understanding of Serving (Risen Translations)
In recent years I have experienced a new sense of the word “serving.” My husband and I both serve in our community church in Brazil. We serve our community and our congregation wholeheartedly and with great passion. Recently, my elderly parents have needed constant...
The Resurrection Changed Everything
The resurrection changed everything… Everything we believe as Christians hinges on this truth: Jesus rose from the dead. Let that sink in for a moment. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ rose from the dead! Muhammad is still in his grave, so is Buddha, as well as...
Risen Introduction
He is risen! He is risen indeed! Two thousand years ago, the resurrection of Jesus Christ changed everything. After spending three days in the grave, Jesus conquered sin and death and was physically resurrected from the dead. This is more than a Sunday School story....
Risen – Materials Now Available!
Oh, friends, we are one week away from our new study! We begin our RISEN study this coming MONDAY and we couldn’t be more excited to dig into God’s Word with you! We're thrilled that you've joined us to study the resurrection of Jesus with us during this season of...
A Lifetime of Study
As this study comes to a close, I pray that it has reawakened in us a desire and an excitement to dig deep into God’s Word and grow in the knowledge of our Savior. We have been blessed with access to many free tools, including books, commentaries, and sermons, that...
Our Next Study…Risen
The world went dark. All seemed hopeless. Jesus breathed His last and gave up His spirit, dying a gruesome death on a cross. Three days later, when the women arrived at the tomb, they discovered the unthinkable: Jesus had risen from the dead. The resurrection...
The Why of Memorization
We memorize a lot of things in our lives; recipes, song lyrics, movie lines, directions, even computer programs. We are adding more information to our minds on a regular basis. One thing many Christians seem to struggle with is memorizing Scripture. I believe the main...
Praying God’s Word
The Bible is the most important book in the life of a Christian. It is where we find God and through Him, eternal life. We believe that prayer is very important. It is how we communicate with God. It is through prayer that we repent of our sins, praise who He is, and...
Reframing our Mindset around Application
This week we have been taking a deeper look at the application of God’s Word. Today I want us to look even more closely at theological concepts verses practical action. There are two things a text will show you. Either it will teach you something you should know, or...
Applying God’s Commands
Today we continue taking a deeper look at the application process of Bible study. We are going to look at the topic of principles, what they are, and what their purpose is. What are Principles? A principle is a fundamental truth. It’s a law that should be followed or...
On to Application!
For most of us, the application of our Bible study tends to be the favorite part of our quite time. We live in a world where we can have access to everything quickly. This mindset can creep into our Bible studies and cause us to want to skip the hard work of...
