  • Romans 11:32

    Romans 11:32 (MSG)
    In one way or another, God makes sure that we all experience what it means to be outside so that he can personally open the door and welcome us back in.

  • Remembering

    I remember reading these words about six years or so ago just before my second baptism. It finally "clicked" for me that I play no part in my salvation. For me, those six verses were the transition from…

  • Along the road

    I love the wording here. If you're looking for me... IF you're looking for me...IF you're LOOKING for me, you find me ON the way not IN the way.

  • Sin vs. Grace

    Romans 5:20 (MSG)
    All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn't, and doesn't, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it's sin versus grace, grace wins hands down. All sin can do is threaten us with death, and that's the end of it. Grace, because God is putting everything together again through the Messiah, invites us into life—a life that goes on and on and on, world without end.

    Love it! We open ourselves and find that god has LONG since opened his doors to us. That gives me such reassurance!

    Don't grieve God. Don't break his heart. His Holy Spirit, moving and breathing in you, is the most intimate part of your life, making you fit for himself. Don't take such a gift for granted.

  • Just Do It

    I like the words here: walk-better yet run. I also like that we should be doing our work steadily and not in fits and starts. I think fits and starts is where I am right now.

  • Forgetting

    This is referenced in Romans as well. People ignore God and the result is that they forget how to be human.

    Romans 2:10 (MSG)
    But if you embrace the way God does things, there are wonderful payoffs, again without regard to where you are from or how you were brought up.

  • God takes us by the hand

    Romans 2:4 (MSG)
    Or did you think that because he's such a nice God, he'd let you off the hook? Better think this one through from the beginning. God is kind, but he's not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change.

    This is pretty literal, but do we do this today? Do we fashion our own gods by focusing on the parts about God that we like the most? I also wan to k ow more about worship. What did it look like to the…
