A much needed update

Hello dear readers!

Long time no see, right? This summer was meant to be full of plans and blogging, but it didn't exactly go as I would have liked it to...
I really strayed from my usual Bible studies, and just basking in God's word in general, to be honest, and I feel thoroughly ashamed of myself.
When I told my best friend Veronica this, she said that God knew what was in my heart, and He knows that I want to pray and share His word! He also knows I can be terribly forgetful too :D

With summer ending, I'll be going back to the stress of studying...
Well maybe not, because I plan to see my first year of university as an adventure, more than a stressful chore. I want to enjoy it as much as I can!

Since I'll be pretty busy with assignments and such, I'm going to be making some slight tweaks to my blogging habits.

For starters, Bible studies will be uploaded once per month, instead of per week.
To be perfectly honest, when I was posting Bible studies once per week, I felt like I wasn't really putting my all into it. I felt very rushed, like I just wanted to get the post out there so I could start working on the next one.
By posting a Bible study once a month (and sometimes maybe twice, if I can manage), it will mean that I can put far more effort into making each study enjoyable, with content straight from the heart :)

The same change will also go for music posts, featuring bands/groups or artists that I'm loving every month, instead of every week.
Verses will be posted once a week, no arguments ;)
Questions will be posted irregularly, depending on whether I get questions from friends, or think up some on my own that I'd like to share the answer to!

Here's take 2 of my posting schedule breakdown:

  • Bible studies: Once a month
  • Music features: Once a month 
  • Verses: Once a week 
  • Questions: Every once in a while (1 week - 1 month)
  • Misc.: Timings will vary, but most probably once a month

I ask for your understanding, and I hope this doesn't cause any inconveniences!

†Verses† Ephesians 6:11


I was reminded of this verse while I was on the official King James bible website, and it appeared as the verse of the day!

When we get dressed every morning, it's not just about putting on clothes to cover our body and to keep it from being naked.
It's also about putting on an invisible suit or armor, which is God's strength, love, mercifulness, passion, patience, etc. (there are too many adjectives :D)
The devil will try many ways to tempt and taunt us, but if we trust in God, then He will protect us against it all!

Remember, God's armor isn't a physical piece of chainmail, but a spiritual one!

†Music† Kings Kaleidoscope

If you're a fan of colorful Indie-ish music, then this band is for you!

Kings Kaleidoscope is a Seattle-based band of 10 members. They use modern, woodwind, brass, and string instruments to create their unique and catchy sounds :)
As usual, songs are under the cut!

†Questions† Why did God accept Abel's offering, but not Cain's?

Why did God accept Abel's offering but not Cain's?

Well, one possibility is that while Abel sacrificed an offering to God with a sincere heart, Cain might not have done the same. His intentions might not have been wholehearted.

Some reference verses can be found under the cut:
