My Identity in Christ… ✝️
So I love reading…
as many of you do…
My one constant read—
is the Bible.
Then I usually have another book going at the same time…
but Scripture… that’s been with me almost 45 years now…
since I was a kid.
I love the theology of it…
the depth…
the layers…
Hermeneutics—
that’s really my thing with it.
Breaking it down…
understanding what it actually says…
not just what it sounds like.
Honestly though…
You can read and know things all day long—
but if you don’t apply what you’ve learned…
then what do you really have 🤷♂️
like… what did you gain…?
…
I’ve got other platforms where that’s all I do—
strictly Christian content…
just digging into Scripture… piece by piece…
But this blog—
This is different.
This is where I write about my life…
my past…
things I’m dealing with…
things I’m learning…
It’s an outlet.
A place where I don’t have to perform…
don’t have to impress anyone…
I just get to be me.
So… just because yall don’t see that other side of me much…
I figured I’d share a little of it here.
Some recent thoughts…
from my other platforms…
……………………………………………
📖 Romans 13:14
“But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh…”
📖 Galatians 3:27
“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”
I love these two…
Because that phrase—“put on”—
In the Greek… it’s ENDUO.
And it literally means…
To clothe yourself…
to wear…
like a garment.
So when Paul says “put on Christ”…
He’s not talking about casual belief.
He’s saying—
Wear Him…
Be covered in Him…
Let Him be what people see when they look at you…
Like putting on a coat—
except it’s identity…
not fabric…
Visible identity.
That’s powerful.
Super cool stuff 🙌 ✝️
……………………………………………
📖 Ephesians 2:10
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works…”
This one’s great…
That word “workmanship”—
In the Greek… it’s POIEMA.
Yeah…
Like we are God’s work… His Poem
Which means—
You’re not random…
not an accident…
not just out here trying to figure it all out…
You’re crafted.
Intentional
Spoken into existence with meaning…
Not mass produced—
handmade…
By God.
Prepared beforehand…
for something good…
So yeah—
You’re not just surviving this life…
You’re His poema.
And that’s a whole different way to see yourself… 🤷♂️✝️❤️🔥🙌
…
Thank you all for being here… seriously…
Yall are a blessing.
May God bless you…
and keep you…
always.

Try meditating on a particular chapter or verse, and read it in different translation… It gives you a different angle, dimension of the love of Abba Yah for us in Yeshua. Adonai bless you, Shalom! 🙏🏽🕊️✨🙌🏽

This is a deeply sincere and grounded reflection—quietly powerful in the way it blends faith, intellect, and personal honesty. ✝️✨
What stands out most is your authenticity. You’re not just speaking about belief—you’re living it, questioning it, studying it, and striving to apply it. That distinction you make between knowing Scripture and living it is especially impactful. It’s a reminder that faith isn’t meant to stay on the page—it’s meant to shape who we become.

Amen v’Amen. And when you read Torah or any Hebrew Bible, you see clearly how Abba Yah refers to His Word as Him, the proof that the Word of God is His Beloved Son, Yeshua. ☺️

Brother, trust me, I understand, and I also apologize for not keeping in touch. I’ve been dealing with so much here that it feels like I can’t even catch a moment to be still. There are times I find myself saying, “How much more, Lord?” and then I catch myself getting sarcastic, thinking, “Thank you, Lord… can I have another? I haven’t suffered enough.”
But then I think of the Cross and have to pause, reminding myself that in truth, I haven’t suffered nearly as much as He did. And even knowing that, it doesn’t make it any easier.
