Somedays we are simply looking for a mark, a rock at the foot of a tree, something to direct us forward, a few words to let us know we are going in the right direction.

Faith isn’t something that needs to be done. It’s something to be enjoyed because faith is a gift bestowed by God’s word through the hearing of the Gospel.
05/12/21
In Christ, we live beneath an open heaven having the definitive proof in the cross of Christ that God is outrageously for us, not against us.
05/08/21
The One who has defeated sin, death, and the Devil himself is now living in Heaven and praying for you.

We all know what I think (maybe) Rachel knows: Celebrating ourselves isn’t enough. It won’t ever be enough.

Jesus will suffer, die, and rise again for them. By this love, they are forgiven. By this love, they are made His friends: Friends of God.

It’s God’s love that sets us free to love in the first place.
