Quiet. . .

Wow, its finally quiet here. . . the Disaster Recovery Business is done for now and things are going to return to normal. . .

Maybe a little slow for a bit but it should be peaceful. . .

I think it will be nice as long as its not an extended silence. . .

Still in Romans

This week we are moving on to Romans 6 in our SS class. It’s not like chapters 1 – 5 have been a snap either, we’ve been on Romans for 5 weeks so this is definitely an indepth study. . .

I guess Romans 5: really had a brilliant explanation of Grace, this pre-emininet magnificint grace that cannot be explained in human terms but in the outpouring from God to us. . . The grace is about God not about us. . . God grants us grace, we only need to believe and trust in Jesus Christ. . . suddenly the whole passage about having a simple child like faith makes a lot more sense. . .
🙂

Well this week has the famous passage Romans 6:23 ‘For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord’

I really like how God (through the Spirit) used Paul to build the building blocks to faith in Romans:
1st All of humankind is separated by disobedience
2nd Disobedience started with Adam and everyone disobeys
3rd God granted Grace through the One Jesus Christ
4th Grace isn’t something you do it’s something God does for you for everyone. . .
5th If you Sin you will die – You get death
6th If you believe in Christ Jesus- You get life eternal

It’s like a pyramid, from the basics to the more complex. . . Paul just keeps building on the logical arguments from the chapters before. . . It’s brilliant and beautiful. . .

Simple really, and reiterates the magnificence of our Glorious Lord!

I truly believe that this simple basis for argument and presentation of the Truth of the Gospel is both powerful and effective, and useful in sharing the Love of Christ with the skeptics and unbelievers around us, around me. . .

I’ve been praying for several people over the past few weeks, really years, but haven’t really been sharing directly. . . May the Lord grant me the strength and courage to share His truth with Boldness and Love. . .

May His Spirit quicken the hearts of those who hear that they may recieve the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. .
amen. . .

What to expect when you're expecting?

I have no idea. . . but here we are. Last week at our weekly men’s prayer breakfast I shared an Unspoken request. . .

Unknowingly, one of the men prayed specifically and urgently for that request an my family. As I listened to the prayer, I smiled and tears came to my eyes, knowing that only an Incredibly Awesome God that I serve could have prompted my brother’s heart to pray with such ferver. This week, after I shared the testimony and how I was touched and blessed by his prayer last week. He mentioned that he somehow knew Wed two days ago that we were expecting. We hadn’t told anyone at Church yet, but just the same he knew. . .

🙂 What an Awesome God we serve. There is something powerful when the Spirit touches our spirit and communicates the love and joy before it is verbally spoken that makes this reality of a small new life coming into this world all the more special. . .

Go God. . .

We now have over 200 temporary agents and Beaumont corporate employees for a displaced company in our offices. . .
