Welcome to Anointed for Christ, a ministry website offering Bible studies, Seminary Journey reflections, worship resources, and free Bible printables. These resources are designed to help individuals and families learn Scripture and pass God’s truth to the next generation. Anointed for Christ is guided by the calling expressed in Psalm 78:4–7: “We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.

Seminary Journey explores lessons from biblical Hebrew, theology, and Scripture. Greetings, friends! One of the greatest blessings of attending seminary is discovering fresh insights from God's Word that deepen my love for Him. This month, my biblical Hebrew studies led me to reflect on the beautiful relationship between prayer and praise in the Book of Psalms. I learned about the Hebrew words  tefillah  (תְּפִלָּה, "prayer") and  tehillah  (תְּהִלָּה, "praise").

Just as some pastors use the phrase "at-one-ment" to help us remember reconciliation with God, the similar sound of the Hebrew words tefillah and tehillah creates a memorable picture. Throughout the Psalms, prayers were often written to be sung. When a tefillah (prayer) is lifted to God in song, it becomes ...
