Strengthen, Steer and Stay in touch with Christ
You can love God and still feel distant from Him.
You can know the truth and still struggle to enjoy it.
You can attend church, read your Bible, and pray—and still find yourself weary, distracted, discouraged, or drifting.
Most Christians assume they need to try harder.
I don’t.
For 1 Glory exists to help you reconnect with God and walk faithfully with Him by living for His glory.
I’m Eric Mattie. I’ve spent decades studying Scripture, teaching others, and serving in the local church. Yet one lesson keeps returning:
The Christian life changes when God’s glory becomes bigger than our circumstances, struggles, and desires.
That’s why I write for three kinds of Christians:
😔The Weary who need strength.
🧭The Wandering who need clarity.
🏃 The Faithful who need resolve to keep going.
You probably already know where you belong.
Are you weary? Wandering? Or faithfully pressing on?
Start there.
If that’s you, I’d be honored if you subscribed.
Let’s keep walking faithfully together.

What If I’m Not a Christian?
Glad you asked.
If you sincerely care to know the answer, I’d sincerely say to you, “Hang around this website. Read thoughtfully and deeply.”
Why? Because most people don’t address their spiritual well-being. My aim with this website is to encourage those who do. Perhaps now is the time for you to look into such matters.
What does For 1 Glory Believe and Value?
Any personal Statement of Doctrinal Beliefs that will be added to this will be informed first and foremost by the Holy Christian Scriptures.
Until such a statement is developed and shared, For 1 Glory affirms the basic and essential orthodox Christian beliefs stated in the Nicene Creed.
We believe in one God,
The Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made;
of the same essence as the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven;
he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
and was made human.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried.
The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life.
He proceeds from the Father and the Son,
and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
and to life in the world to come. Amen.
