Guys,

I officially now have a tattoo! It’s from Galatians 2:20. It’s very short, simple and sweet. I love this verse because it’s a simple phrase but it has the most profound meaning. Living out Galatians 2:20 is like living out the Beautiful Exchange.

Do you want to experience a life that’s full of excitement and a life that’s worth living, then you have to exchange your life over His. Following Him isn’t easy, you and I will suffer because Christ Himself suffered, but the beauty about it is we get to suffer along side with Christ and when we leave this place called ‘earth’ we get to spend eternity with Him.

If you claim to be a Follower of Christ, God has promised that He has already prepared a calling in your life but unless we allow that ‘Beautiful Exchange’ to take place, we will remain a ‘Fan of Christ’ rather a ‘Follower of Christ.’

One last thing, Christ life was marked with submission and full obedience to the Father. When we understand this truth, we unlock the key to having a transformed and radical life by exchanging our lives For His.

For His name and renown,
Mark Muldez

“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17, NKJV)

Do you desire to have more faith? Scripture tells us that faith can grow and increase. Notice that today’s scripture doesn’t say, “Faith comes by having heard the Word of God one time.” It says that faith comes by hearing — in the present tense. We have to hear the Word of God over and over again in order for it to take root in our hearts and transform our minds. Sure, God’s Word can transform us in an instant, but most of the time, our faith grows as we hear the Word of God again and again.

Just as a seed needs water daily to grow, your spirit needs the Word of God daily. The more you hear God’s Word, the more you know Him. The more you know Him, the more you will be able to believe Him — and that’s what faith is!

Today, why don’t you choose a few scriptures to meditate on? Write them down and carry them in your purse or wallet. Let that truth sink down into your soul. Let the truth of the Word transform you and move you forward into the abundant life God has prepared for you!

I think if we are all honest with ourselves, sometimes we have our own moments where we find ourselves discontented with who we are, where we are, what we’re doing and what God is doing in our lives. Let me encourage you by saying these things:

Be content with who you are - First and foremost, there’s one truth that you need to remember. God is your  Heavenly Eternal Father and you are His Son/Daughter. Everything that you are (talents, gifts, abilities, experiences, physical features etc.) came from Him because He created you exactly how He designed you to be for His glory and purpose for your life. To know that you are His Son/Daughter is the most comforting thing in this world. That’s where your identity lies and that’s all you need to know about yourself. Anything beyond that is a lie. Society, media, Hollywood don’t dictate who you are and what you should be. Be content with your identity in God.

Where you are - We find ourselves sometimes complaining because of where we are in life. You look at everyone and you wish you were some place else. So what if you’re stuck with your parents and going to a community college instead of a private university? So what if you’re stuck at this broken messy church instead of finding a new one and the list goes on. Not that what I mentioned are all bad but what if God wants you to be exactly where you are now but you don’t see His purpose for you because you’re complaining instead of seeking Him. Ever thought of that?

What you are doing - I love what Luke 16:10 says “If you are faithful in the little things then you will be faithful in the big things. This wisdom is so simple and yet some of us are having a hard time applying this truth into our lives. When someone gives you the opportunity to serve and lead whether as a volunteer or on staff, you have to be faithful in that area and work with such passion and heart. You can’t be working/serving halfheartedly and expect to be ‘promoted’. Brothers and Sister God can’t be mocked, what you sow that you will reap. If you are faithful with the small things then God will entrust you with the bigger things. Start small, stay faithful.

And what God is doing through you - At the end of the day, I encourage you stop and step back and just think through what God is doing in your life. You might be going through a tough time, but God is in that. You might be going through a joyful season, God is in that. Whatever season you’re in remember God is in that and He is doing something in and through you in that season of your life but you have to stop daily and ask God, ‘How can I make much of you today God? I’m ready for what you have for me today. I wanna bring glory and honor to your name.” Be content in everything and with everything that’s happening in your life. Stop complaining but instead keep praying and keep praising and keep abiding in Christ.

I am the vine and you are the branches, Those who remain in me and I in them will bear much fruit. Apart from me, you can do nothing. - John 15:1

Grace and love in Christ,
Mark Muldez

We’re young, we have thoughts, ideas, ideologies, faith, believes etc etc. And we want to share them… with everyone, and if not everyone at least someone.

“We want to be known”.

Even our deepest darkest secrets, we want them to beknown!

We want people to know who we are, what we feel, why we feel things. But we never want to say it out loud for everyone to hear. So we say things that make others feel better. We tell others just enough about ourselves so we can be accepted, but never the whole truth. The truth of who we really are.

“We hide ourselves, we wear masks”

“We hide behind these masks to feel safe.”

 They scare us because if we tell the truth, there’s that fear of acceptance.

Will we be accepted for who we really are?

I’ve asked myself this question a couple of times now. It kinda scared me.. To be someone with no walls, no masks on. Just naked and bare. Wow what a risk we would take. 

The Lord asked me to walk this way with Him.. Naked, bare, humble. He asked all of us this. How can we say no? 

“The greatest pleasure is to be known and still be loved.”

I find that only with the Lord can we have this, because there is no one that knows us better than He does (well duh He created us from our mothers womb (Psalm 139)) And yet He still loves us (John 3:16) 

Loves, as in present tense and not past.

- GS -

I thought I knew what it meant, I thought I fully understood it.

I thought I had it!

Until I found out what it really was, what it really meant….

And once I knew, 

It touched the inmost part of me I even felt it to my core.

It shook me, and changed me, it moved me in ways I never thought possible.

Everything I once knew was changed in an instant.

I no longer did what I was used to doing, the things I despised I suddenly found myself drawn to do. 

The walls around my heart were suddenly torn down..

I felt bear. I was naked! But yet, there was no shame somehow..

I thought I knew what it meant, but I didn’t.

Until it grabbed a hold of me.

I never knew that something so small and simple would have this grand an affect on me.

A cornucopia of words could not wholesomely describe it.

I was changed forever…

What is it, you may ask?

It was…love.

A divine love… perfect in all its ways.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love God because He first loved us.

- 1 John 4:18-19

LAMININ. 

Laminin is vital to making sure overall body structures hold together. Improper production of laminin can cause muscles to form improperly, leading to a form of muscular dystrophy.

Creation declares the glory of our Lord, both great and small.
