Christie Lambert is a small-town, southern writer who is daily amazed by the love of God. Although she loves fiction and has published a few short stories here and there, her writing is now focused on sharing the grace of Jesus that has swept her off her feet. She is usually doing laundry for her three small kids and musician-husband, drinking (too much) coffee with her sister, and reading while cooking (not recommended for those who like edible meals). She is currently obsessed with learning how to play the guitar and finishing her degree in Religious Studies. Christie can be contacted at christiedlambert@gmail.com.
Christie has written 41 on Christian Women Online.
Sean jumped in the car after school today, threw a paper in my direction, and said “Read this!” I glanced over the newsletter and saw the announcement of a new school-wide project. As he buckled in, he announced that we needed to go home and find shoes that we don’t need or that don’t fit […]

Everything we see, everything we hear, everything we feel ~ it can all tell us that it’s time to quit trying, to give up our dream and our calling, to give into despair. Sometimes, it would be easier to slide right into believing all of these things that are right in front of us. It […]

Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking a lot about Jesus. Since we’ve been talking about how God is our King ~ our creator, provider, Lord of all ~ it awes me even more to think about how Jesus was willing to leave His heavenly throne to walk among us. I love reading about […]

(Editor’s note: this article was posted previously, but it was lost in the damage done to the site in the recent hack. We are re-posting this article for the sake of continuity of the series it leads. Thank you.) Confession: when I was a teenager, I had a poster of Prince William hanging on the […]

I want to see God. Then again, want might be the wrong word. “Want” implies that I’ll be able to go on with life without the desire fulfilled, doesn’t it? I want a pumpkin spice latte, for instance, but will I survive without it? Sure. I’ll settle for what’s at hand and keep that particular […]

We find that when we take up our cross, when we deny ourselves to follow Him, He is already there before us ~ bearing the weight, filling us with His own life and the power of His resurrection. Jesus, giving us a ‘better life than we ever dreamed of’, gives us rest for our souls! […]

Meditations for Holy Week
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Luke 23:42
He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved ~ you and your household.”
Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. Acts 16:31
This is why “it was credited to him (Abraham) as righteousness.” The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness ~ for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.” Romans 4:22~25
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, 'Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.' For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile ~ the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:9~13
