About Me

My name is Jake. I was born again at the age of six and embraced the Reformed faith during my college years. Since then, I’ve been on a journey of deepening devotion to God, exploring the riches of Reformed Orthodoxy, and seeking to share these treasures with others.

This blog is a space for believers like you to dive into topics central to our faith, including Reformed Orthodoxy – the Westminster Confession, the 1689 2nd London Baptist Confession, and the Three Forms of Unity. Here, I also explore practical Christian Living, the timeless beauty of Christian Hymns, and other edifying themes that point us toward Christ.

I’m committed to publishing daily articles that engage with your heart and mind, covering topics like faith and spirituality, Christian living, and Christian Bible study. As the blog grows, I plan to expand into creating study guides, ebooks, and even full sermons to equip and encourage you in your walk with God. My prayer is that this content serves as a wellspring of truth, offering Bible verses about strength, inspiration from Christian worship songs, and wisdom for your daily journey.

If you’ve been blessed by what you find here, I invite you to partner with me in this ministry. Your financial support allows me to dedicate more time to writing, researching, and creating valuable resources like daily devotionals and in-depth guides that glorify God and strengthen His Church.

Together, let’s pursue truth, celebrate the gospel, and live out our calling as followers of Christ. Thank you for joining me on this journey—may the Lord richly bless and keep you.

THE GOSPEL

The one true God, holy and perfect, created us in His image to know Him and enjoy a relationship with Him. But in our rebellion, we turned away, choosing sin over obedience, and severed that precious connection. Yet, in His boundless love, God pursued us. He stepped into our broken world, becoming a man in Jesus Christ.

Jesus lived the life we could not—perfect and sinless—fulfilling every demand of God’s law. On the cross, He bore the punishment we deserve, taking upon Himself the weight of our sin and the wrath of a holy God. In doing so, He became our substitute, our Savior.

But the story doesn’t end there. On the third day, Jesus rose from the dead, triumphing over sin and death. His resurrection is the undeniable proof that God accepted His sacrifice, that justice was satisfied, and that the way to reconciliation with God is open.

Now, God calls each of us to respond. He invites us to turn away from our sins and trust in Jesus Christ alone for forgiveness. When we repent and believe, God gives us new life—spiritual rebirth—and welcomes us into a relationship with Him that begins now and lasts for eternity.

This is the Gospel: the good news of salvation, freely offered, through Christ alone. Will you trust Him?
