Welcome! Herein is a brief introduction to this blog.

"Now faith is the reality of things hoped for, the proof of what is not seen. For by it our ancestors were approved. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen has been made from things that are not visible." - Hebrews 11:1-3

Welcome to my newest blog "Hebrews 11 Legacies!" As always, I will try my best to be faithful in the writings hereof, yet please pardon any large gaps of time that occur in postings, for as with all families, life gets busy and time flies.

I chose the title "Hebrews 11 Legacies!" for Hebrews 11 surely is a wonderful chapter for any God fearing child to read. It speaks of the men and women of old who lived boldly for God, many not having seen the promises fulfilled yet, many without the Holy Scripture, the Authorized Word of God to live by. They followed their Lord faithfully, understood that this earth was just their temporary home, and though they could only see the promises from a distance, they took hold of these promises and lived for their God. They obeyed Him and clung to Him, forsaking this world and it's lust thereof.

We have Scripture, we have seen that our Lord has come down and as promised, saved His people through the Son Jesus Christ. We have the gift of the Holy Spirit in our lives now that we're saved by the blood of Christ. I encourage you therefore to take the firm stand on Scripture, to defend it with your very lives, for "It is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes." -Romans 1:16
I encourage you to live as the Hebrews 11 men and women, forsaking the world, clinging to our Lord and following His decrees, knowing we are but pilgrims on this earth, yet pilgrims with a mighty calling, a mighty mission to spread and defend the Gospel. In Christ my Lord and Savior... Call to arms! Pick up your dusty swords and wield them for the glory of God!
