"But God" ~ the answer to our need!

"But God shows his love for us in that

while we were still sinners,

Christ died for us."

{Romans 5:8}

"And such [see verse 12] 

were some of you.

But you were washed,

you were sanctified,

you were justified

in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

and by the Spirit of our God."

{I Corinthians 6:11} 

God's Amazing Love

"Preaching the Gospel to myself

is a great way to keep

God's amazing love

before my eyes, so that I might

experience its power to produce in me

a passionate love for Him in return.

Captured by His love in this way,

my smitten heart

increasingly burns

to do His will and feasts itself on doing so."

{Milton Vincent

A Gospel Primer}

Happy Resurrection Day!

May I never lose the wonder of the cross...

I stand redeemed...

I've been washed in the blood, I am clean and whole...

Hallelujah! What a Savior...

When I survey the wondrous cross, on which the Prince of Glory died...

So many wonderful words to sing.

On "good" Friday, we went to a Darkening service, centered around the seven sayings of Jesus on the cross. After the finish of each section, another light would dim and in the background was the noise of a hammer on a nail. Last night we remembered the anguish...

And tomorrow we celebrate the victory!

But in the joy and awe, never forget that there was a high price paid for me...for you. I love this thought-provoking quote from the Mahaneys.

HAPPY EASTER!
