About Justin

The single most important and interesting thing about me is that I'm but one among an immeasurable multitude of hell-deserving sinners who have been loved with an everlasting, sovereign love. By the sheer grace and mercy of God, my blind eyes have been opened to see something of His beauty and glory in the face of Jesus Christ, my Savior, who loved me and put away my sin by the sacrifice of Himself. I could go on and on basking in and boasting about all that God has done to save my unworthy soul, but if you really want to know the details of my testimony, open a Bible and read the first 10 verses of Ephesians 2.

For nearly 10 years, I've been married to the amazing woman I prayed and asked God for nearly 12 years ago. I'm highly honored and humbled to be called Daddy by 4 wild and wonderful children. I'm also greatly privileged to be able to worship with and serve the saints of Grace Community Church in my hometown of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

My hope is that the articles, thoughts, meditations, and other musings that are published on this site will serve to bring eternal glory to God, eternal joy to His people, and the eternal gospel to the lost who stand in desperate need of the eternal life found exclusively in the eternal Son of the living God.

The name, Rejoice with Trembling, is taken from Psalm 2:11, where the psalmist charges his readers to serve the LORD with fear and to rejoice with trembling. Though joy and fear, rejoicing and trembling, seem to be opposites, the reality of walking joyfully in the fear of the LORD is the experience of every true Christian. It's the glorious experience into which the gospel ushers every sinner who repents and believes in Jesus Christ. Through Christ, we have access to the blessed God in whose presence there is "fullness of joy" (Psalm 16:11), and one of the rich blessings of the new covenant that Christ established by His death on the cross is described in Jeremiah 32:40, where God promises,

"I will make with them an everlasting covenant . . . I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me."

Because of the gospel of Christ, the charge to serve the LORD with fear and to rejoice with trembling is not only our duty, it's now our delight.
