My Husband, My brother in Christ

I especially enjoy writing about Biblical Womanhood as well as the application of Biblical theology from the perspective of a woman longing to communicate my love for who God is as revealed in His Word of knowable and applicable truth and NOT who I imagine He is from some sentimental, me-centered perspective that is based on relative, roller-coaster ride of self-sustained religion 'truth'. In other words, I like to encourage others to press on in His truth and His love for His glory.

But then, everything I have written has likely been said a whole lot better by someone else. I definitely have no insight that is deeper than what God has already revealed. Therefore, if you find anything of value here than give God the glory!

"Lisa at Deo Volente is another blogger that I'd love to meet with and share some coffee. She's been through some rough circumstances in her life, and she's come through them clearly showing the grace of God, and honouring Him through those circumstances. Her various posts are sometimes funny, often really make you think, and always theologically sound."-Jen at JoythruChrist

Lisa is passionate about her reformed faith and her posts reflect how her faith is practically applied to situations in her life. Very difficult ones, from time to time...Ukrainiac

"Lisa's site has become one of my new favorites to read and to participate. I think she brings a nice touch to the application of theology to everday life as a woman and as a mother. It's sort of like Secret— strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." -Young Wilderness Voice

"Praise the Lord! I have finally found the sold-out, brainy Christian women bloggers, and from what I can tell so far, most of them are Reformed to boot! I knew they had to be out there somewhere. It was just a matter of time. I was directed to Lisa’s blog this morning ...which led to Carla’s blog ... and these are leading me to many others." -Katy at Logoscentric

Hallelujah! He Has Found Me!

Go read my pastor's post called "Jesus Really Satisfies."

All my life long, I had thirsted
For a drink from some cool spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within.

Feeding on the filth around me,
Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,
Only still to hunger on.

Poor I was, and sought for riches,
Something that would satisfy,
But the dust I gathered round me
Only mocked my soul's sad cry.

Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me.

Hallelujah! He has found me
The One my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies all my long - ings
Through His blood I now am saved.

The words to this hymn were originally "I have found Him" which is now sung as "He has found me." It isn't that He did not know where I was. It is that He has drawn me in His time, though He chose me before time, to come to a point of repentance through the redemptive work of His Son... for I, apart from Him drawing me to Himself, am completely incapable of finding Him. "Husks" was changed to "filth" which certainly fits doesn't it!!! However, what does it mean by "the One my soul so long has craved"? An unsaved sinner is unable to crave God, but would by far, choose to satisfy his or her cravings with anything other than God. So this must mean, from a Doctrines of Grace standpoint, that the soul craves something to satisfy itself. An unregenerate soul will never be satisfied and will continually be longing for satisfaction in what is temporal or fleeting... and in so doing, will not find its satisfaction. But when the Lord gets hold of that person, renews their hearts, transforms their minds, their craving of which longed to be satisfied will be thus transformed also and will find eternal satsifaction in Christ, through Christ.

"Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is the Lord." (Jer. 16:21)

We sang this hymn yesterday during our service. It was the closing song after I preached from Luke 4.31-44, gathered around the Lord's Table and worshiped Him throughout the morning. What a glorious truth: He has found me and through His blood I now am saved.

Amen, Pastor Sorenson.

I love this song but I can't find it on a mp3 anywhere. Can you tell me who sings this? Thanks so much!

God Bless
