How Many Times?

It's Not How Many Times You've Done Something... It's How Many Times HE Did Something
It’s Not How Many Times You Did Something… It’s How Many Times HE Did Something

Have you ever done the same thing over and over again till you finally believe that it’s just one time too many, and you cannot in all “honesty” participate in God’s forgiveness.

You tell God, “I know that you say you will forgive 70×7, but I passed that a long time ago.  I have prayed, and I still mess up.  I love you, I really do – but I still mess up!  I don’t deserve You, so I’m just not gonna ask for your forgiveness again!”

Oh but the good news is this – JESUS CAME!
The good news is this – JESUS DIED!
And the GOOD NEWS IS THIS – JESUS ROSE!
In the upper room, He said, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” (Matthew 26:28)
What is that sin you are trying so hard to deal with?
it is covered by the blood of Jesus.  Bring it to Him again, and KNOW that you are His.  He loves you enough to hang in there and bring victory to your life!
It’s not how many times you’ve done something. It’s how many times He’s done something. It took him one time to forgive us. We just need to be reminded. 

 

New Year, Greater Vision

by

It would be wrong to say ‘new year, new vision’, because we still want to reach the communities that surround our home churches. We also want to continue to equip our members and others to share the gospel using their special, specific, and unique gifts.

But we always want to grow. Part of growth is having greater vision.

What do we mean by ‘greater vision’?

Greater Clarity: We want to better define the things we do to serve the people we serve. We want what we do to come under who we are and what God has called us to.

Greater Impact: We want to have deeper impact into our communities. Through better understanding the needs, fears, and hopes of our communities, we can better meet people where they are and impact them more.

The Father’s Love Moves Us Forward

Today I met the daddy I wrote about yesterday.

He expressed to me how much he loved having children. “Although its hard to see them grow up, it’s exciting to see them surf in the ocean or to let that bicycle go.”

And I told him that’s how our heavenly Father’s love is toward us. He gets excited, I believe, to see us grow. He knows it’s not good for us to stay in the same place. He wants us to trust Him enough so we can move ahead…

The Father’s Love

So I’m at the beach for a little R&R and I’m watching a little girl and her daddy in the rough waters.

She keeps going under, water keeps getting in her eyes, but her daddy keeps picking her up and showing her how to ride the waves.

She listens and follows his directions, knowing that he is there to protect her and lift her up – his arm always outstretched to her. Now that’s love, don’t ya think? Kinda reminds me of another Father’s love.

What about you?
