I don’t shock easily. I have been around a long time and have known all kinds of people. None of us, not even Christians, even distantly approaches perfection. However, I must admit I was recently appalled to read in the “Church Around the World” publication that “data suggests that the overwhelming majority of Christian young […]

Everything we see, everything we hear, everything we feel ~ it can all tell us that it’s time to quit trying, to give up our dream and our calling, to give into despair. Sometimes, it would be easier to slide right into believing all of these things that are right in front of us. It […]

I often wonder while living my life ~ this ordinary life ~ do I, or even can I, fully worship, love, and obey in truth my God and Father, the One who dwells on a plane I can’t with the frailty of my human thoughts, begin to comprehend? I can only reach out with my […]

Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking a lot about Jesus. Since we’ve been talking about how God is our King ~ our creator, provider, Lord of all ~ it awes me even more to think about how Jesus was willing to leave His heavenly throne to walk among us. I love reading about […]

I got some news a while ago that threw me off guard. I wasn’t expecting it. My first response was, “What can I do? How can I fix this?” Even after sleeping on it, I’m still a bit unclear. Yet one thing I know my God is faithful. He is faithful to provide the way […]

Meditations for Holy Week
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Luke 23:42
He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved ~ you and your household.”
Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. Acts 16:31
This is why “it was credited to him (Abraham) as righteousness.” The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness ~ for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.” Romans 4:22~25
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, 'Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.' For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile ~ the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:9~13
