For my speech class, we were assigned to give a persuasive speech. I decided to give the speech on Creation. Instead of posting the speech in written format, I decided to make a video, instead, for more emphasis. My sources are the following: The Bible Genesis: First Things by Beka Horton Bible Doctrines for Today by Michael C.

Break Through the Culture

“I cannot believe you go to a Spanish church!” This is a comment I commonly receive, and, sometimes, I cannot believe it either! Honestly, I live in constant amazement of where God has brought me during the past two years. Life has not been easy. At times, it has been downright agonizing, but the Lord [...]

Embrace the Anointing

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.” Jesus proclaimed this passage from the Book of Isaiah to the synagogue of Nazareth, closed the book, gave it back to the ministers, and sat down. (Luke 4:18, 20) Sometimes I wonder if Jesus was [...]

Faith: How Not to Live in Spiritual Darkness

Von de Leigh — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 06:11:45 +0000

I have had the pleasure of growing up with the teaching of God’s Word. Not many people have had that same privilege in life. When I first began writing on doctrine, I was so enamored by the marvelous revelations which God had opened my eyes to in His Word that I began to write in a [...]

The Layers of God: Oneness

A few years ago, I found a glossy orange book in a praline shop entitled New Orleans Classic Desserts. I was enticed by its alluring photographs of Café Brûlot Pudding Cake, Crème Brulée, Beignets, and Wedding Meringue Kisses. Even the descriptions were tantalizing with their delicious words, dripping temptingly like honey from the hive. “Meringue [...]

A Father’s Love

Note: On August 14, 2009, I wrote my dad a poem to tell him exactly how I felt about life and the mysteries of God. Here is that same poem and his response: “i’m feeling kind of dreary- It’s the silent side of weary: No questions, no complaining- Just the simple sound of rain. Give [...]

Learning to Live with Jesus

Today began like any other day. I read a little bit of my Bible before rolling out of bed. I got dressed, went to the office. Just another day, another chore. I knew that I had to pick out three songs to lead for song service, and oh no! We were out of regular coffee. [...]

God’s Yellow Pages

Note: My mom has compiled this wonderful list of Scriptures for everyday situations! This is entirely life-changing and exceedingly helpful! I fell in love when she gave it to me. Where to look when: Afraid -Psalm 23:4; 27:1; 34:4; John 16:33; 2 Timothy 1:7; Hebrews 13:5,6 Anxious -Psalm 46; Matthew 6: 19-34; Philippians [...]

The Name of the Lord

Von de Leigh — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 22:22:44 +0000

Just peeping around the corner is hot apple cider, smoking chimneys, red and gold leaves (or just plain brown, depending on where you live), pumpkin bread, and school rooms that still smell like Elmer’s glue and chalk, despite the fact that the schools are now armed with pristine whiteboards and double-sided tape. My books are [...]

Defining our Reflection: Modesty

Von de Leigh — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:10:42 +0000

After a long, strenuous day doing research on something that had placed itself onto my heart this morning, I am finally able to stretch out on our sofa and delight my senses with the delicious cup of coffee that my dad brought in for me. Dads can be kind of cool like that sometimes. Today [...]
