Whiter Than Snow: Living in the Freedom of Christ

Whiter Than Snow: Living in the Freedom of Christ

| Posted on |

One of the principal themes of the New Testament is how our sins have been erased through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. It was there that He took the sins of the world, yours and mine included, upon Himself. He then endured the penalty of death in our place. His act on our behalf has forever secured our righteousness before God and our identity as His children. Now, upon confession that Jesus is both Lord and Savior, we are in a spiritual sense consid

These words from Paul to the Gentiles in Rome still resonate today, urging believers to stay united in faith and encourage those who may be struggling.

In these challenging and often divisive times, we need to turn to Christ for the hope and peace only He can provide. As we gather to pray, let us lift up our nation and Christians around the world, seeking God’s wisdom, healing, and unity.

It’s Only the Beginning: Working Out Your Salvation with Purpose

During a recent conversation, my mind was triggered to share a deeper look into our salvation through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. As believers and followers of our Lord, we are thankful to be among the saints and that our eternal destination is secure. The gift of the Holy Spirit is ours immediately upon our confession in Jesus and that the presence of the Holy Spirit within us becomes a seal, a guarantee, indicating to whom we belong and its everlasting nature. (Eph 1:13-14)

Amelia Earhart: Communication and Family Dynamics

| Posted on |

Things have changed, but that’s the way it was. This time of year came with its own kind of aloneness too. My parents didn’t have a good marriage most of the time, and this time of year brought out those particular dysfunctions related to jealousy, trust, resentments, miscommunication, or no communication, and general but profound separation. These dynamics were real and thick… I felt a sense of aloneness and insecurity. I have no desire to psycho-babel but my world was unstable, and I didn’t know where I would land. I had dreams at that time that my parents were dying, and I would

Obstacles, whether they come from within or without, as temptations or testing’s, the Lord’s love will be there in His presence, to guide and direct, encourage and empower. As the theme implies, a life lived is not without obstacles and there isn’t always victory, sometimes we will experience defeat.
