Out There,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the Trees so Strong<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(like our sins),<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is The Light of Christ,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising Majestically,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beautifully.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah 40:2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the Lord\u2019s hand double for all her sins.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 24:47<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

… that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The uses we put religion to ought to turn God in his grave, if he ever were in one! (Well Jesus was, but is no more.) But how is it that we put religion\u2019s face on such horrendous schemes and deceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would the world look like if …?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would we all look like if …?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we used religion only proclaimed the Grace of God, that sins were already paid and God has restored us all more than two-fold for all we have lost to our sins?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably different, peaceful, gracious, generous, and blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s start today …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

except<\/p>\n\n\n\n

even though we are fully forgiven<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we cannot let go of sin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for sin still has it\u2019s ugly-strong grip on us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we<\/p>\n\n\n\n

must<\/p>\n\n\n\n

wait<\/p>\n\n\n\n

as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we persevere running the good race put before us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

also this day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of beauty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

marred<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by our sins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
