Blessed Beyond Measure: A Journey Into God’s Goodness

I opened my Bible this morning to James 2:14–26, and even though I’ve read this passage many times before, something about it stirred me more deeply than usual. Maybe it was the quiet stillness of the morning, or maybe it was the way my soul has been reaching for God with such intensity lately, searching for clarity and direction. But as soon as I read, “What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions?” (James 2:14, NLT), I felt the Holy Spirit pressing gently on the places in my heart that still need refining.

Christian Tech Nerd Quick Quiz!

Let’s see who can answer the below question correctly…..

If a woman has an abortion, can she still get into heaven?

TAP HERE FOR “YES, SHE CAN STILL FIND A WAY TO REDEMPTION”

TAP HERE FOR: “UNFORTUNATELY NO, YOU’LL SPEND ETERNITY IN HELL FOR HAVING AN ABORTION”

I recently stumbled upon a quote that said, “God blesses us because we respond to Him, not as a response to our good works.” I held onto that sentence like a precious jewel, because so often—even in my own walk with God—I’ve slipped into the mindset of trying to prove my transformation through what I do rather than who I’ve become in Christ. It’s so easy to confuse activity with spiritual maturity. And sometimes I wonder whether that’s why so many new believers get overwhelmed. They come into the faith with this beautiful spark of excitement, wanting so badly to honor God, but without knowing how to rest first in His love. They start volunteering, serving, signing up for everything in sight, hoping their efforts will show God they’ve changed. And then somewhere along the path, they burn out. I’ve seen it happen. I’ve felt it happen.

I think we, as the body of Christ, have unintentionally contributed to that misunderstanding. We often celebrate visible participation—the new church volunteer, the person who signs up for every ministry, the one who seems full of energy and eagerness—without first understanding where their heart is. Service is good and beautiful and holy, but service without foundation is like building a house on sand. It looks sturdy for a moment, until the first storm hits.

James is absolutely right: faith without deeds is empty. But deeds without faith are equally hollow. They may look impressive on the outside, but they don’t carry the substance of God on the inside. And that’s what struck me so strongly today—the reminder that my actions are not the proof of my faith; they are the fruit of my faith. Faith doesn’t begin with motion; it begins with surrender. It begins with falling at the feet of Jesus and whispering, “I can’t change myself. I need You to change me.”

Sometimes I forget that. Sometimes I slip into the rhythm of self-powered striving, almost like a spiritual New Year’s resolution. But faith isn’t a resolution; it’s a relationship. A living, breathing relationship with a God who moves through me rather than around me. When I try to do things for God without doing them with God, everything feels heavier and harder. But when the Holy Spirit stirs something in me—when I feel that gentle tug, that nudge that seems to rise from some quiet place inside my chest—obedience feels almost effortless. It feels like stepping into a river instead of trying to dig my own well.

That’s what good works are meant to look like. Not a performance, not a checklist, not a spiritual résumé—but a response. A natural overflow of the faith God has planted in me. And I love that God invites me into His work not because He needs my help but because He wants my heart. He wants my willingness, my surrender, my trust. He wants me to participate in the blessings He is already pouring out.

When I reflect on my journey with Him, I can see moments when I acted out of pure obedience to His voice, even when I didn’t understand why. And those are the moments that changed me the most. Not because I did something impressive, but because God used my small steps to shape my heart. That’s the kind of life I want—one where my faith is alive, vibrant, and continually responding to Him.

I feel blessed beyond measure not because of what I have, but because of who He is. His goodness has followed me through seasons of joy and seasons of grief, through times of clarity and times of confusion. Every time I’ve tried to take control, He has gently reminded me that surrender is my safest place. Every time I’ve grown weary, He has whispered, “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). And somehow, He always keeps His promise.

Today I prayed that He would teach me how to better encourage my brothers and sisters—not to rush into good works out of obligation, but to grow deeper in faith so that their works rise naturally from their relationship with Him. I want to be someone who reminds others of their identity in Christ before urging them toward activity. I want to show them that transformation starts with the heart, not the hands. I want to reflect Jesus in a way that draws them closer to Him, not simply closer to tasks.

And maybe that’s part of my own calling—helping others understand that God isn’t measuring their worth by their productivity. He’s looking at their hearts. He’s looking for faith that is alive, rooted, and real. Faith that breathes. Faith that trusts. Faith that produces action as naturally as a tree produces fruit in season.

As I sit here writing all of this, I realize how deeply grateful I am for the Holy Spirit’s guidance. There have been days when I felt Him nudging me toward someone who needed encouragement, or urging me to pray for a person I barely knew, or prompting me to step out in a way that stretched my comfort zone. Those moments were never born from my own willpower. They were born from His presence in me. And every time I said yes, I experienced God’s goodness in ways I never expected.

One thing I am learning, over and over, is that God doesn’t call me to do good works so that others will see how faithful I am. He calls me to do good works so they will see how faithful He is. When I respond to Him, when I let Him work through me, His love becomes visible. His compassion becomes tangible. His presence becomes undeniable. And somehow, in the midst of that, I am blessed too.

So today, Lord, I pray this from the depths of my heart:

Father, help me to always work in response to You—not from my own strength, not from my own will, but from the moving of Your Spirit within me. Teach me to recognize Your prompting and to obey with joy. Guard my heart from striving and remind me that true transformation comes only from You. Use me as a vessel of Your love, and let Your light shine through everything I do. And guide me as I walk alongside others in the body of Christ. Give me wisdom to encourage, patience to listen, and compassion to understand where their hearts truly are. Let Your living Word take root in us all, that it may grow and flourish in our lives. I ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

Tonight I rest in the truth that I am blessed not because of what I do, but because of who God is—and because I get to respond to Him with a heart that is learning, growing, and trusting more every day.

Serving Others Like This Pushes You Further Away From God

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Scripture is full of verses about serving others.

Take a look at Ephesians 6:7, for example: “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people.”

Or Hebrews 13:16: “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”

It is clear that God wants us to support other people.

And that serving others means we are also serving the Lord.

However, let me ask you a question.

If your neighbor asked to spend your whole weekend painting his house, would you do it?

What if your old relative reached out because he wanted someone to drive him around for a week?

It starts becoming ridiculous at some point

Serving others when you don’t really want to can make you hateful.

And it can push you away from God’s path.

So what are you supposed to do?

Well, as they say, the Devil lies in the details.

The key to serving others the right way is to know the extent you are willing to go.

Before you try to assist other people ask yourself what you want.

Try this mental exercise…..

If no one judged you for pleasing yourself, what would you like to do?

This is a question that seems “taboo” for Christians.

But let’s take a look at Ephesians 6:7 again: “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people.”

The word “wholeheartedly” is also a part of the verse.

We have to serve others because of the goodness in our hearts, not out of necessity.

The simplest way to do that is by knowing what makes you happy.

In other words, understand your own boundaries and desires.

When you are satisfied with your decisions, you can support people in need without resentment.

So the next time someone asks you for a favor, don’t feel guilty if you want to say “no.”

Consider your own desires first.

And be brave enough to speak your mind.

Otherwise, we are just people-pleasers, not Christians.

God Bless!

Why Volunteering Is Essential For Fulfilling Christian Goals

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Did you know that giving to charity can assist you with any goal have?

I know it sounds odd. But let us take a close look at this verse.

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6 38)

This beautifully encapsulates the essence of giving.

When you give, you receive. God blesses you for your good decisions.

He assists you in the areas that you need assistance.

If you want loving and fulfilling relationships, He will support you.

If you want personal growth and development, He will support you.

And if you want to step away from work early and spend time with your grandchildren, He will support you with that goal as well.

However, some folks hesitate to give to charity because they cannot afford it.

And that is understandable. Especially with everything that’s going on lately.

But charitable giving doesn’t simply mean helping others financially.

There are endless ways to support the less fortunate.

One of the most impactful ways you can give is by donating your time, skills, and compassion through volunteering.

By dedicating your hours to serve others in need, you become a living testament of God’s love and kindness.

Proverbs 11:25 says “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

Volunteering allows us to enrich our own experiences as we enrich the experiences of others.

It unlocks doors for personal growth and the development of meaningful relationships.

It even shows us different perspectives that can bring about a greater appreciation of our own circumstances.

You can volunteer in various capacities.

Perhaps tutoring children in your community, assisting in local food banks, participating in community clean-up drives, or even providing companionship to the elderly.

Each deed of service, no matter how small, brings you closer to God.

Remember, it’s not always about what you give, but about the heart and the intent behind it.

As we follow Jesus’ footsteps in service to others, we inch closer to His teachings and invite abundant blessings into our own journeys.

So let us embrace charitable giving. In any way we can.

God Bless

I’m a Christian & Now a College Grad (Updated March 2024)

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Well I’m finally a college grad, and can now spend a LOT more time on writing amazing articles that I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing them!

I took about a 15 month hiatus from blogging so I could focus 100% on my college courses, and I really missed all of my wonderful readers, so I’m going to doi my best to write articles that will reflect my continued love for the Christian community!

How To Invite God’s Beauty Into Your Household

God created a beautiful world for us to live in.

The intricate detail of a leaf, the grandeur of a sunset, the majestic mountains that touch the skies.

Each element of His creation is a testament to His glory and love.

And yet, something blocks us from truly experiencing His magnificent creations.

Our houses.

That’s right. We spend most of our time indoors.

If our living spaces don’t mirror God’s beauty and harmony He infused into nature, then we might feel disconnected from Him.

Our households are more than just brick and mortar. They’re our sanctuaries, where we rest, rejuvenate, and draw closer to our Heavenly Father.

As such, the condition of our houses can significantly influence our well-being.

Dozens, if not hundreds of studies have been published around this very subject.

And everyone has arrived at the same conclusion. A peaceful, well-kept house can promote tranquility, focus, and overall mental health.

So how can we try to invite God’s beauty into our households and enhance our living spaces?

Well, there are more ways than most people think.

Embrace minimalism

Much like the calming simplicity of a serene beach, a house without clutter reduces stress and promotes peace. Keep your space tidy and throw away or donate unnecessary items.

Celebrate natural light

Sunlight pouring through a window is a divine blessing from above. It can lift our mood, improve our sleep, and enhance productivity. Keep windows clean and unobstructed to allow as much natural light as possible.

Grow indoor plants

Just as a tree glorifies God with its growth, so can the plants in our households. They add a splash of God’s natural beauty into our space. Plus, they improve air quality.

Add personal touches

Create a house that reflects who you are and your love for the Lord. This could be family photos, cherished mementos, or religious symbols.

With our houses reflecting God’s natural beauty, let us rejoice in His creation, both outside and within our personal abodes.

May God bless our efforts to make our households an extension of His grandeur and beauty.

Tell Me What Interests You The Most About Christianity, God, Jesus & Christian Family Values

So now that I have more time to focus on writing articles about Christianity, with a focus on Jesus and faith, and why we need God’s love in our hearts, I want to make sure that you the reader enjoy what I’m publishing.

I believe the best way to give you what you want the most, is to ask you what type of Christian topics you’d love to read each week.

With that said, please post a message in the comments section of this article and let me know what topic you’d like for me to focus on, and I’ll do my best to write an article you’ll enjoy reading!

God Bless and stay safe in 2024!

This Wifi Mistake Can Put Your Family At Risk

I just thought of something that could be essential for our readiness when SHTF.

Everyone has wifi in their houses, right?

It is something we usually take for granted. Sometimes we even ask for it when we enter a public place.

But every time a storm or an earthquake happens in the US, what does always happen?

The power grid goes down. Cell towers collapse, and no one can log in to the web.

But if you are a prepper, you are probably prepared for this.

You have your own generator. And your own Wifi. You’re sitting pretty, right?

Well, not exactly.

A working Wi-Fi signal in a digitally dead area is like lighting a beacon in the dark.

It signals to anyone with a device searching for a network that there’s someone nearby with resources.

Resources that some people will be willing to do whatever it takes to take from you.

Even by force.

So what can we do about this? Should we throw our routers out the window during power outages?

This is what I have been looking into for the past couple of days.

Apparently, you can reduce the range of your wifi router by adjusting the power settings.

Most Wi-Fi routers have settings to control the transmit power.

By reducing the power output, you can also reduce the range of your Wi-Fi signal. 

The specific steps for adjusting power settings vary depending on the router model, so consult your router’s documentation or interface for guidance.

But there is also another way that doesn’t require any technological expertise.

And that’s by surrounding your router with dense materials. Like concrete or stones.

To tell you the truth, if we ever have a massive power outage, this is what I am planning on doing.

During emergencies, we have to think outside the box.

Situations that we might not have dealt with before might begin to surface.

If you don’t want your house to become a target, consider one of the two ways to reduce your router’s range.

9 Beautiful Prayers asking for Forgiveness

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Love is the one true reason why God insists that all of his children must forgive one another, as well as themselves, for all of our sins.

If you are familiar with Romans 5:18, God reminds us that we are sinners; you see, God demonstrated His unconditional love through the sacrifice Jesus Christ willingly took for all of us, and because of our sins.

Yes, God understands that we are all flawed people, and because of our flaws we can grow and become better people if we can ask to be forgiven, and also to forgive those that have hurt us, and with that said, if you are seeking forgiveness from the Lord, one of the below prayers may help you speak to God.

Also, I found this wonderful prayer on YouTube that I’d love for everyone reading this to listen to when they have time; it makes me really happy to see fellow people of faith spending their time bringing Christian prayers to life in such creative ways!

So please, when you have time, click here to enjoy this inspirational prayer!

Act of Contrition

My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you, whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, To do penance, sin no more, And avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy. Amen.

Romans 12: 18-21

Father, I offer to You my deepest prayers. Against the works of the enemy, please guide me. For instance, I ask of You to guide me as I turn my cheeks when my enemies slap me. Because of Your Ways, I ask of You to heal my heart at times it is being tested. With this, I ask that You accept this prayer for forgiveness. In Your Grace, I am protected, loved, and saved. In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.

Matthew 5:39-41

Lord Jesus Christ, You are the lamb of God; You take away the sins of the world. Through the Grace of the Holy Spirit restore me to friendship with The Father, cleanse me from every stain of sin in the blood You shed for me, and raise me to new life for the glory of Your name. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.

1 John 1:9

Creative Talk to God Road Sign

Lord, Merciful Father, I have sinned against You. Because of my human desires, I caused You pain. Because of the temptations I followed, I wronged You. Father, I confess all of my lapses to You. I do this for one thing and that is for Your forgiveness. I do not wish to live a life opposite to Your Words. Most importantly, I do not want to stray away from Your Holy Presence. Father, take my apologies and gratitude in hopes of purifying all my sins. In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.

Luke 15:18, Psalm 51:3-4

Lord, for days I kept my mouth shut, my heart closed and my eyes ignorant to Your Mercy. Therefore, I am seeking Your acceptance in granting me another day of growth and repentance. Undoubtedly, I say with faith that Jesus is my Savior and my Refuge. Through Your Grace, I walk in the path of love and compassion. With You, security and protection strive within my days. I pray for a season of forgiveness so I may walk in accordance with Your Will. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.

Psalm 103: 10-14

Merciful Father, as Your Son paid the price of our sins, He lovingly asked for forgiveness towards all mankind as they do not know what they are doing. Father Almighty, because of this, I am confessing my sins in my thoughts, words, and actions. As well as the sins of my brother and sisters, I am asking for Your Mercy in granting us forgiveness as we live our lives on Earth. I pray, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Prayer for Forgiveness

Lord Jesus, I come before you today feeling quite low. As I consider my mistakes, the ways I have sinned against you and others, my heart breaks to see my actions in the mirror of my conscience, and I feel lost.

When I remember the love you have for us, it deepens my grief for what I have done, and I wish I could take it all back.

I know the only way is forward, however. To move in that direction, I desperately need your forgiveness. May your mercy wash me of all my sins and cleanse my heart of evil desires. Your willingness to die on the cross provides me confidence that, if I ask to be forgiven, you will give me this gift.

And once I have freedom from my sin, keep me safe from future temptations and strengthen my heart and resolve to choose what is right. Thank you, Jesus, for your sacrifice that affords me another chance. Amen.

Micah 7:18

Because of You, I rest completely at night and wake up renewed in the morning. Due to Your Sacrifice, my sins are forgotten and forgiven. Because of Your Love, my enemies cannot drag me down. Therefore, Lord, I ask that you give me power to endure and learn how to forgive others. Merciful Lord, remind me of Your Love so that I won’t seek hate in my heart. Please accept my prayer for forgiveness towards others and myself. May You bless me with understanding and empathy so that the downfall of my enemies won’t give me joy. Lord, may I help them as we walk together in Your Ways. I pray. Amen.

Luke 23:34

in the name of Jesus, the sins of the people were set free. Still, I wake to commit actions that are sinful and wrong in Your Eyes. Additionally, I wake to live my days away from Your Words and I stray away from the teachings You set out for the world. However, Lord, I do not wish to live my life away from Your Grace. I confess my sins to You and I am asking for forgiveness as you cleanse my heart and keep me close to Your presence O’ dear God of Wisdom. I pray, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

If you are in need of forgiveness then I hope that just reading these prayers can help you achieve what you are searching for.

I would love to know what your favorite prayers of forgiveness may be, so please share them with me if you have time to do so!

God Bless!

It All Started with Dr. Benet’s Dangerous Discovery…

In 1939, Dr Sula Benet found an apparent error in the bible: A mistranslated word that according to Benet, revealed the lost recipe to God’s healing oil.

Unprecedented Healing…

Those who have used this oil, including many non-Christians have reported almost “miracle healing”… including relief from arthritis, autoimmune disease, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, prostate issues, alzheimer’s, heart disease… and 51 other deadly condition – see the PROOF in this video.

Why It Might Change What It Means To Be A Christian…

For many Christians, this biblical breakthrough goes against everything they’ve ever believed… and they are torn, because this lost secret heals like nothing they’ve ever seen… so they have to choose between their old beliefs, or their pain.

How The US Government Is Taking Control…
The government has never been shy about protecting its interests, including PAC’s, the IRS, big pharma, and left wing agendas. And congress is aware of this breakthrough, in fact, they recently took out a patent on it, and now control the fate of this “ancient healing technology”.

Please watch this video now before it gets taken down for good!

Bloomberg just published an unsettling report.

It seems that U.S. utilities have found Ruski malware deep inside our power grid.

What does this mean?

It means we could be facing one of the biggest catastrophes in history.

Something that could push America into the dark ages.

So forget about the downfall of digital currencies, a crumbling economy, or anything else the media is brainwashing us with.

Pretty soon, none of that is going to matter.

Please watch this video so you can understand better.

This strange video surfaced online a few months ago.

It has made a few startling predictions, each of which has come true.

But the biggest prediction is yet to come.

And according to this video, it’s going to happen next week.

All we ask is that you review this information so you can protect your loved ones while there’s still time.

May God have mercy on our country.

Christian Discrimination and “Bring Your Bible to School” Day

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Before you being reading, if you’ve ever been a victim of Christian discrimination I’d love to learn how you stood up against those that criticized you so I can share your story with other Christian that are currently suffering from Christian discrimination…God bless.

I just learned that Christian students nationwide are being encouraged to share their faith during ‘Bring Your Bible to School’ Day. I wish “Bring Your Bible to School Day” was encouraged during my time in grades K-12, and of course the University I go to would NEVER advertise a “Bring Your Bible to School Day” even though they proclaim that students would feel safe to be who they are and that no one should criticize anyone for their beliefs…that is unless their beliefs are based in Christianity.

It’s so strange that every group on campus, such as LGBTQ groups or BLM, just as examples, are offered a safe space without criticism, but Christian groups are widely mocked and looked down upon by other groups that have suffered discrimination in the recent past. I don’t know, I just find this strange.

Anyway, enough of me rambling on, let’s get back to the article I read in regards to “Bring Your Bible to School Day”.

Article:

Last week, Focus on the Family led its 8th annual “Bring Your Bible to School Day” as hundreds of thousands of Christian students were encouraged to share the Word of God with their classmates.

“This annual campaign empowers Christian students of all ages to speak God’s grace and truth into the culture around them, starting with two simple steps — bringing their Bibles to school and sharing what God’s Word means to them,” Focus on the Family Program Manager Bret Eckelberry explained in a statement last week.

“It opens doors for students to talk to their friends about the gospel. It connects them with other believers in their school,” he continued. “And it allows them to celebrate their religious freedoms in the United States.”

In a recent interview with The Christian Post, Focus on the Family’s Vice President of Parenting and Youth Danny Huerta explained that the majority of participants are high school students or junior high school students, but students “all through college” can participate as well.

While it was too soon to tell whether more students participated in this year’s event than from last year, which had 514,000 participants, Huerta did note that registration for this year “surpassed last year’s registration numbers.”

“Our eventual goal is to get 1 million kids bringing their Bible to school or more,” he continued. “It’s basically just a starting point … for kids to maybe start Bible studies in their school, [or] pray together in their school.”

Huerta stressed that students have “the freedom to bring their Bible to school in a public school setting as long as they’re not disruptive in the school.” Additionally, he pointed out that the best times for students to share the Word of God with others were before and after school as well as lunch and recess.

While students have previously faced opposition from school staff from sharing their faith, Huerta said that the Focus on the Family has referred parents and students to the religious liberty law firm Alliance Defending Freedom as a resource in the midst of adversity.

He hopes that the annual event can unite American students in “hope and love” amid the division seen across the world today.

“We’ve really been focused even more so now on the opportunity to offer hope, to invite peers and students into conversation about God’s Word and about their faith and just standing courageously and with love and hope,” Huerta said.

“It’s about inviting people into something that is very loving, which is a relationship with their Heavenly Father and with God’s word,” he asserted.

Once again, please let me know if you’ve ever felt discrimination due to your Christian beliefs and how you stood up to those that criticized you so I can share your story with others that could use your advice!
