GraceNotes

Responsible, caring parents want to develop responsible, caring children.

It’s too easy to drift into the mode of thinking that “If I live by faith, then I will be healed, blessed, protected, and live happily ever after.”

I’m thankful that there’s so much in the Bible about how to deal with delay, opposition, obstacles, and challenges.

No more accumulated sins! His provision! My decision! Amazing Grace!

Under God’s new plan we don’t merely learn about God in a class, or from a book, instead, we get to know God in a living relationship.

There is some sacrifice involved in representing people to God and representing God to people. We are called to lay down our lives for those we love and serve.

One of the things that is foundational to my belief system is that God does not, in fact cannot, lie.

The process of learning trusting-obedience through suffering and submission produces full maturity and becomes an example and encouragement to others.

I grasp as firmly as I can this thing that I believe—that Jesus understands my weaknesses.

Think carefully about this Jesus. Consider how he loves, how he cares, how he serves, how he sacrifices, and live like that. Forgive others the way he forgives us.
