Hello and welcome! My name is Maryann Lorts and I am a daughter of the One True King. I need to remind myself of this truth every day. I get out of bed and wake to a tired world and see a need to be a light. My calling may be small among many, but by God’s will, I will run the race that He has placed before me and finish well.

We are warned to not let anyone lead us astray...t We are warned to not let anyone lead us astray...to live in the light of the love the Lord poured down upon us. We must stay away from the false teachers who are influenced by the devil. The Lord is the only truth and Christ came to defeat all of the false things of this world. See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 1 John 3:1‭-‬3 NIV
There is no need to divide God's Word when it spea There is no need to divide God's Word when it speaks plain as day... -mercy -grace -love -kindness -gift -------FAITH-------- But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:4‭-‬10 NIV
Everyday we see evil winning battles- around us an Everyday we see evil winning battles- around us and in us. We need to awaken to the Lord's truth and to stop the nonsense of our hearts and minds. The end is near and we must not be caught sleeping in false ideas and misplaced hope. Time to wake up! The Lord wins the war! For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:8‭, ‬10‭-‬16 NIV
Character and faith....Easier said than done, righ Character and faith....Easier said than done, right? This is why we need to -strive- to embrace perseverance of faith. Through faith in Jesus and His life-saving sacrifice at the cross, we can be made whole and be free from bondage to death. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Romans 5:1‭-‬5 NIV
