The Lay Person: Sharing Your God Story

                               
                            
                            


Beloved, I read the above words this morning. As I thought about these words, this verse in scripture came to me rapidly: “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20 NLT).

An Independent Post: July 4, 2012

Beloved, as I thought of independence day, I thought of what it meant to be independent.

Independence defined: expressive of a spirit of independence; unconstrained; free from the control or influence of others.


The very act of celebration is not defined by a body of people simply dancing, eating and drinking to their hearts content. It's a people coming together to celebrate what was done and what was accomplished and the grand result of it.

Therefore, this 4th of July, if there’s anything to celebrate, celebrate Jesus living to love you. Celebrate Jesus dying to save you. Celebrate Jesus buried to take your sins far away. Celebrate Jesus rising from the grave, justifying us freely FOREVER!

That's true INDEPENDENCE, from this world; from being a part of tyranny, from constrained control and destructive influence.

Today, as it was 2000 years ago, let us celebrate the grace of God at the Cross of Christ. Amen.

To all the believers worldwide— Never forget! And always celebrate your INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Thank you Jesus!

As always...YOU ARE LOVED.
