Welcome to My Blog

Hello! I am Aidan Jachim, and I am 16 years old. I am writing this blog so that you and I both will be able to better see some of the big things that God has done – colossal mountains that have been moved – through great men of faith from the past and the present. It will include events from the Bible, history, and even recent times. The title of my blog, Mountains were Moved, was inspired by passages such as:

• Matthew 17:20b, “[F]or verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
• Matthew 21:21, “Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.”
• Mark 11:23,  ^“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”

 I pray that this blog will strengthen and encourage us to work hard for Christ by seeing how God rewards the efforts of his children. We cannot be content to sit back and let others do the hard work, and simply cheer them on. We need to be working as well. Sometimes the big things will be really big tasks, or sometimes they may only be little tasks. Even little tasks are very important, because someone needs to do them. We do not necessarily need to be doing big things that will be seen by the whole world, or even things that will be seen by anyone at all. We just need to be working our hardest for Christ. In Matthew 10:42 and Mark 9:41, Christ says that if you give a cup of cold water to a brother or sister in Christ, you won’t lose your reward. Let us get to work, serve others, and glorify God. I pray that God will help and encourage you as you strive to honor him. Remember, with God, all things are possible (Matt. 19:26 and Luke 18:27), we can do all things through Christ (Phil. 4:13), and God will never leave us nor forsake us (Deut. 31:6 and Heb. 13:5).
