Let's Talk About Gluttony! by Glenda Krupnick

On May 22, 2024 , I shared a post on our social media accounts that sparked a lot of feedback , prompting me to reflect on an often overlooked issue in the church: gluttony and its impact on physical and mental health. The first response was a rude comment, but I took no offense as I had asked for feedback.   Shortly after, a friend messaged me about how she had overeaten at a restaurant at the time of our post. This led to a conversation where I shared that overcoming gluttony is like running a marathon . Hebrews 12:1-4 encourages us to throw off the weights and sins that hold us back, “and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.”   We believe that’s key! What makes something a sin? If it becomes an idol, something we run to instead of running to God. In Exodus 20:3-5, we are commanded to have no other gods, which was echoed by someone who said that food can keep us from going to God, a struggle we’ve experie

Hablemos de la Glotoneria por Glenda Krupnick

  El 22 de mayo de 2024 , compartí una publicación en nuestras cuentas de redes sociales que generó muchos comentarios y me impulsó a reflexionar sobre un tema que a menudo se pasa por alto en la iglesia : la glotonería y su impacto en la salud física y mental. La primera respuesta fue un comentario grosero, pero no me ofendí porque había pedido comentarios. Poco después, una amiga me envió un mensaje sobre cómo había comido en exceso en un restaurante en el momento de ver nuestra publicación. Esto llevó a una conversación en la que compartí que superar la glotonería es como correr una maratón . Hebreos 12:1-4 nos anima a despojarnos del peso y los pecados que nos frenan, “y corramos con paciencia la carrera que tenemos por delante, puestos los ojos en Jesús, el autor y consumador de la fe”. ¡Creemos que esa es la clave! ¿Qué hace que algo sea pecado? Si se convierte en un ídolo, algo hacia lo que corremos en lugar de correr hacia Dios. En Éxodo 20:3-5, se nos ordena no tener otros di

¡Reclamando lo que es tuyo por derecho! por Glenda L. Krupnick

Al comenzar este nuevo año, quería compartir una historia personal que creo resonará en muchos de ustedes. Llamémoslo una historia de redención, fe y el poder de reclamar lo que es tuyo por derecho. Hace unos años, compré un nombre para mi sitio web , emocionada para compartir con el mundo la historia de redención de Dios en mi vida. Originalmente me había unido a Blogger.com para poder compartir blogs con la visión de que algún día Brett y yo tendríamos una plataforma adecuada. A medida que pasó el tiempo y mi visión comenzó a desarrollarse, llegó el momento tan esperado en el que necesitaba explorar otras plataformas y actualizar el sitio web. Deseosa de reducir costos, intenté construirla por mi cuenta. Busqué dos opciones gratuitas diferentes porque éramos muy nuevos, solo para encontrarlo frustrantemente complicado. Llegué a un punto en el que tuve que dejarme llevar y confiar en que la persona adecuada, que esperaba fuera Brett, o los recursos necesarios llegarían a mi camino. S

Reclaiming What's Rightfully Yours! by Glenda L Krupnick

As we step into this new year, I wanted to share a personal story that I believe will resonate with many of you. Let's call it a story of redemption, faith, and the power of reclaiming what is rightfully yours. M onths passed, and I began searching for ways to make extra money from home to be able to fund this project which to me has been like the baby Hannah prayed for that she just couldn't let go . Hannah's story is found in 1 Samuel 1. Hannah had everything any woman could ever ask for except a son.  I have everything any woman could ever ask for, but I needed a purpose.  I have experienced purpose filled seasons, but this one project would allow me to share God's goodness in my life with the world and influence others for purpose to live with faith filled intention but I digress to the story.  We want to encourage you to let that be the beginning or recommitment of your life with Jesus. Don't give what is yours, or His I should say, your purpose to whoever or w

If you feel like you're in a tunel or walls are closing in on you, this revelation is for you!

I recently had to get a pair of MRI scans done. If you’ve ever gotten an MRI, you know that most of these machines are like a tiny tunnel. You have to keep your arms down by your sides and cannot lift them up to your face because of how small the space is.    I’ve had them done before, and although I’m not usually claustrophobic, these machines can make anyone feel that way.     When I had to do an MRI the first time, it seemed like it would be better to close my eyes before I went into the tunnel and to keep my eyes closed until it was all done. I thought, if I open my eyes, I might become anxious and need to request to be taken out causing an incomplete scan. This would require having to reschedule at another time and go through the whole process again, so I’ve kept my eyes closed each time I’ve had to get one.   This time, while the doctor was getting me ready to insert me into the tunnel, I decided again to close my eyes, when I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to ask the Lord to giv
