Those who read the last newsletter from The Remnant know that I am starting a new series! This series will be letters to myself (as the name implies LOL), reminding myself of truths that are hard to believe. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I've decided to kick off this series with a reminder about keeping gratitude to God in the forefront of my heart and mind. I hope it encourages you as well. Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂 Dear Olivia, The purpose of this letter is not to lecture y

It's a pleasure to once again have my friend, Connor, write for The Remnant. Not only is he a great writer and fantastic world-builder, but he's also a wonderful, godly teen who is going to do great things. This well-researched article talks about the disappearance of "true love" in our society and what the solution to getting it back is. Welcome back to The Remnant for another guest post, Connor! "To love is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be

Hello, hello! I'm back with a new blog post after an unplanned hiatus. I hope you will enjoy reading this one and that it encourages you in the ways of the Lord. <3 In Luke 22:54-62, there’s a detail that always jumps out at me. In this passage, Jesus has been arrested and brought to the high priest’s house in the middle of the night. Earlier in the same chapter, Peter had said “‘Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death” (Luke 22:33). Jesus repl

You may have noticed I've been taking an impromptu break from blogging. I promise I will be back in May with more articles and fun content. Meanwhile, this article I posted a couple years ago is still just as important, inspiring, and true in April 2026. I hope you enjoy! I sighed and inwardly groaned. I reached for the TV remote and turned off the news. I can’t even watch the news for more than a couple minutes without being so discouraged, I thought. Almost ever

"It was the year Good Friday fell on a Monday..." as my grandfather used to say reflectively. I'm kidding ;) I just couldn't resist starting this Good Friday post without a tribute to one of his many jokes. Okay, on to today's post now! (LOL) As Easter approaches, it can be easy to get caught up in the rush of the season. After all, there are church services, family dinners, Easter egg hunts, plus trying to enjoy a long weekend’s break from school and work. Yet, Easter is

I’m going to be honest. I say that I want to follow God’s will above my own more than I actually do it. Even though there is literally no reason for me to doubt God’s goodness, His perfect plan for my life, or His ability to accomplish it, I still struggle to submit my will to His. I struggle to say the words Jesus spoke in the Garden of Gethsemane: “Nevertheless not my will, but Yours be done.” I can sing all the songs that proclaim of God’s faithfulness. I can m

I love the book of Ruth because of the many lessons and practical applications we can glean from it. This article was posted in October 2024, and I hope you enjoy it. It's one that's very close to my heart. I recently read through the book of Ruth in the Old Testament. Though I have often heard and read this wonderful story, reading it again has helped me take a closer look at God’s faithfulness to provide for His people. A Summary of Ruth

Do you sometimes struggle to fully realize that Jesus was just as much human as He was God? I find it difficult to picture my sinless, death-defeating Saviour with the occasional headache or blisters on His hands and feet. I have to remind myself that He too would’ve stood in line at the market, helped His mom with the dishes, laughed at His own jokes (maybe ;), and gone to His friends’ bar mitzvahs. But He also was tempted by the devil to sin. He had to hold His
