I have always had a heart to reach out to people and let them know that Jesus their creator loves them. I started this blog with the intention to put the gospel out there and also to encourage fellow believers in their walk. I cant say I know everything or that I will always be right but I pray that Christ gives me wisdom through all of this. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment.
In Christ,
Jared
Philippians 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
Why Resting Content?
Why is my blog titled Resting Content? Philippians 4:6-7 says, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." So many times we are not content with the way things turn out. We have everything we are going to do planned out, and alot of the time God isn't going by our agenda. Or maybe you're not that kind of person and just kind of let things happen. Either way events occur that upset us. The loss of a job, failing a college final, a death in the family. How do we take these things? Are we, "anxious for nothing" or are we worrying how am I going to handle this? How could this happen? Christ calls us not to be anxious, "but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made." It is a lesson I learn everyday. Even in the smallest thing I have to remember to rest contently. I must always remember that, "the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." If you ask God in, "prayer and supplication" to help you, you can be sure that He will. You will find yourself, Resting Content.
The Plan of Salvation (Romans Road)
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (NKJV)
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (NKJV)
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (NKJV)
Romans 10:9-10 That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto unrighteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. (NKJV)
We are all sinners, we all do things that are wrong.
The only thing we will get from sin is death and an eternity in the lake of fire, but God will give us eternal life in heaven.
But God loved us soo much he sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. If you willingly acknowledge that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.
About Me
- Jared
- I am a follower of Christ, my savior. I believe that he was crucified for our sins. That I am a sinner only saved by grace. That he rose again on the 3rd day, according to the scriptures, and that I will be in heaven some day with my wonderful Saviour. I am 16.I enjoy practicing martial arts including; Tai Chi, Kenpo, Kempo, Hungar, Ba Gua, Northen Shaolin Kung Fu, Ju Jitsu, and the occasional Shoto Kahn techniques. I also really like backpacking, dayhiking, reading, playing trombone, building fires (dont worry safe ones), horseback riding (although I never get the chance anymore) and spending time with my God-fearing family. Well, you name it and I am willing to try it... for the most part :D I would love to be a part of a missions trip to an Eastern European country.

Well, Jared, my dear son. I am surprised and may I say pleased? Welcome, officially to blog land. Although we pass each other each day, and have many meaningful conversations, I am thrilled to be a part of your new blog, "Resting Content". What a nice choice of names and even nicer when you explained your reason for it. I pray that God will grant you the wisdom you seek, as you seek His face, He will guide you and all those He leads to this site. We all walk this road of life, sometimes it is hard, but we can rest content when we know Jesus as our Savior. Thanks for spelling it out from the book of Romans for all to join the journey.
Love,
Mom
P.S. It won't be long until you, like your cousin, are off to college and then we'll really have to communicate this way. Maybe I'll finally learn to text message, eh? And as Dad says, I'll have to learn to IM like you do. I know, I am a techno-challenged person, but I'm learning, slowly, but still learning! Thanks for teaching your dear old mom :)
Jared! I'm glad we can keep in touch through all this technology stuff like your momma was talking about. You're an amazing cousin. I always love talking to you because whenever I talk to you or read some stuff you post, I'm always encouraged in the Lord through you. I think it's awesome how much you care about God now isntead of most people(myself included) who think they can wait until they get to college or go "out in the real world" to really care about the things of the Lord. You are one kool cuz. Keep up the good work my friend! Well, I told you about an hour ago that I was going to go to bed so I think I might actually do that now. TTYL Gyro!
