Let the whole world know that He has come.” –> Sojourn

Some blogs that speak truth into my life and encourage me with the Gospel of Jesus Christ:
1. Kevin Jamison is the pastor at the Oaks Community Church. He is someone who speaks incredible truth into my life. I visit his blog often and am amazed at the things he writes. His many categories help me easily find his opinion on a certain topic. His blogging style is purely ramblings and thoughts, almost like a journal. Pictures and even videos are added to an idea. I can skim through post after post and hear the Lord speaking though it. Every thing he says is in Christ and about Him.

2. Meg Rigano is my future roommate for next year! She is such an encouraging person in my life. She loves the Lord so much and is in constant desire to have a fuller understanding of the mercy and love Jesus poured out for her on the cross. Her blog is mostly complied of lyrics that sing of who God is. Sometimes she even writes a journal-like entry of how she is doing in her walk with Christ or what she is struggling with. She usually will add a picture to go along with the words of her post. Everything she writes or quotes from a song is an outpouring of her heart for the Lord on that day. Its really cool to watch her journey with Him.

3. Jon Bagen is the Middletown area director of Young Life. He is really great. I visit his blog to uplift my soul. His blog is mostly comprised of poetry that is beautiful and bears his heart in its words. The simple format and casual grammatical writing style is comforting and real- he rarely uses capitalization and he doesn’t use long paragraphs that fill up every space. His thoughts are short, but extremely deep and full of the Gospel. Every word is prayerful and reflecting on who God is. The Lord is doing really cool things through Jon.

“When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written:
“No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him”—but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.” [1 Cor. 2:1-10]
