Coram Deo: All of Life to the Glory of God
The Latin phrase coram Deo is one of those lofty-sounding things that you might hear a theologian say, but it simply means “before the face of God” or “in the presence of God.”
And really, that’s the whole point of the Christian life, right?
We are each called to learn to live in the presence of God, by His Spirit, in a way that brings Him glory every single day. And, as the Westminster Catechism goes, we find our joy on the journey because: “the chief end of man is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.”
I believe that nothing is off-limits when we live coram Deo. All of our everyday moments, the profound and the mundane are subject to His truth and beauty. And what a wonderful way to go through this life, don’t you think?
Here you’ll find musings on writing, books, motherhood, learning, culture, theology, politics, and whatever is on my mind. Nothing too precious except life and everything in it.
I guess you could say that Coram Deo is a different kind of lifestyle blog.
This blog has been many things over the years, but now it serves as a meeting place for those who are curious about living coram Deo. My hope is that you will find something useful or inspiring to propel you deeper into the presence of God in your everyday life.
If you haven’t done so already, go ahead and subscribe to my Substack here – I send out a semi- regular dose of encouragement for living coram Deo (and other random goodies).
Don’t hesitate to shoot me a DM on the socials and let me know what you think! Thank you for being here, it means everything to me. xo
