Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Jesus, it is only through Your sacrificial blood that my sins are forgiven. Through Your fountain of forgiveness, my guilty stains are plunged into the bottom of the ocean to be remembered no more. Thank you that the power of Your blood will never be diminished. All the adjectives in the dictionary cannot adequately describe…

Father, though we might not recognize it while facing an obstacle or enduring a trial, it is a golden opportunity to see You work in a supernatural way. Not only will You bring about a solution in the circumstances that perplex us but You also develop godly character in us as we patiently endure the…

Father, we who believe and are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, can never thank You enough for the things You have done for us, things so undeserved yet You gave Your Son, Jesus, to prove Your love and acceptance of us. The voices of a million angels could not express our gratitude, all…
