Our Family.....,Our Passion......

We are The Marlin's, a family of five, and yes we have three girls. Their names and ages are Anna 16, Alexandra 14, and Adrienne 9, all going on 30. Steve and I have been married for 19 years. I'm sooo happy God gave me such an amazing man to share my life with.

Our passion is to see God glorified in all things and to let Him be known among all nations.
Rom 15: 6

1 corinthians 1: 30-31

Nov 17

I just started reading 1 Corinthians today for my devotions and here are some of the thoughts I gleaned or you can say, thoughts that touched me.

Verses 30, But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
31 so that, just as it is written, "LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."

The only reason we are in Christ Is because of God. Man’s wisdom can do nothing to reach salvation. Man’s wisdom can’t help us to know God. We got saved because of God’s wisdom and the purpose of salvation was that “God may be glorified”. Isn’t it marvelous that God chose simple, humble people to be His people. Influence, power, intelligence are all totally irrelevant to Him. But it does not end here. As soon as we became Christians, God began doing a work in our lives. We did not stay ignorant. Instead, through His word we received wisdom, HIS WISDOM. He made us the wisest of all creation!!! God gave wisdom that he might receive glory. That’s the whole idea. I want this to be part of my DNA, always remembering that the glory belongs to Him.
