Six Notes Blog
Welcome to our Six Notes Blog. This is a place we’ll dive deeper into scripture and find guided prayers. We’ve put together spotify playlists, screensavers, and images to inspire and encourage. You can also find bible verses to reflect on, memorize and save. Our goal is to constantly connect right here with ways to deepen your faith and walk with Jesus.
There are many ways to connect with the Lord, get creative! God doesn’t care HOW you do it; He just desires you.
Why We Wear God's Word
Why do we wear His word? I was reminded on two separate occasions this week the transforming power of wearing God’s word. A simple act yet with great reward.
I was out doing life as I normally do, doing normal things, being all normal and an acquaintance came up and asked, “I see you always wearing your “Jesus” shirts, I need a change. What church do you go to?” And we got to talking. A simple act of putting on His word opened a door to conversation of faith.
Invited Into Something Deeper
Jesus tells us to live in Him and He will live in us. That’s pretty crazy if you think about it. The Creator of heaven and earth. The One who writes history and knows each one of our stories wants to live in us. Each of us. It’s a mystery we don’t stand in awe of enough. Francis Chan writes this…
A peace that transcends - how to find it
I came across our blog post written years ago and find it moving enough to share again. I pray this is as encouraging to you as it was to me.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your heart and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7
What Bothers God
In his book, Until Unity, Francis Chan discusses this topic of separation. Comparing what we grieve versus what the scriptures grieve. What separates us as a people and then as followers. This book is not a feel good book. It's a call you out book. It's a "challenge you to do better" book. In fact, I've had to take reading it in strides as I've tried to reflect on his points and accept his challenges. With that said though, I've really enjoyed this book and wanted to share this particular quote that has stuck with me and to share my thoughts that I worked through one day after sitting with this quote.
Difference: Word of God vs God of the Word
“There is a world of difference between knowing the Word to God and knowing the God of the Word.”
I read that quote in my latest obsessions of Tessa Afshar books. She’s a biblical fiction author and I’m on a book binge I must confess. But for me, sometimes reading these books brings about faith, grace, mercy, and the Bible and all its teachings and wisdom to what I like to call “heart moments”. I can get stuck as this quote says simply wanting to know the Bible more. Rather than falling in love with the God of the Bible.

Pray this prayer before you begin. Yearn to study Him, getting to know Him verses what’s in it for us.

When life is a little dry and mundance, when we need a little inner motivation, when we just need something to pull us out of this rutt… prayer this prayer and rest in His goodness.

Tessa Afshar, Connilyn Cossette, and Francine Rivers.
Some of the deepest moments of my faith journey has been picking up a good read and letting the charcters inspire me. Christian Fiction or better yet Biblical fiction has a way of opening up our mind into what life MAY have been like back then.
