Alabaster Box

The alabaster box has been broken, (Jesus on the cross).  The fragrance of grace, (New Covenant Realities) fill the earth!

Through the eye's of a child!

Arriving at Sunday school Sunday morning I was greeted in the parking lot by an always enthusiastic 7-year old boy by the name of Conner. As usual he was eager to help me in any way he could to get things ready for the morning service. I had to leave church for a few minutes to run an errand for a friend and upon returning, Conner's dad showed me a video he took of Conner while I was gone. In the video Conner was standing in front of the church holding a microphone and practicing preaching. Immediately I asked Conner's dad if it would be ok if I ask.....

Grace Pondering

Rescued.....

Grace has rescued me from misguided religious zeal, that I might worship and serve God with confident abandonment to Him!

Grace Pondering

Receiving God's Love...

God is love, and the greatest expression of God's love was seen in Jesus when he died on the cross in our place. It's impossible for God to love us more than He already does! However, we can open our heart to receive more of God's love.

 The gospel of grace open's the heart to receive more of God's forgiveness and unconditional love. Experiencing more of God's forgiveness and love does not make a person want to sin more. Totally the opposite, it makes a person more compassionate and forgiving.

Grace Pondering

Almost too good to be true, must be the gospel...

Grace reveals God's reality about me. That reality is proclaimed in the glorious gospel and seen in the person of Jesus Christ. In God's reality Grace reveals that when I'm looking at Jesus, I am also looking at me.

Herein is or love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17)

God's Earthquake

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top to bottom; and the earth did quake and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many (Matthew 27:51--53).

When Gods in an earthquake, instead of sending people to their graves; He brings them out of their graves! He's just shaking off the dirt. How awesome is that?

After His Resurrection

He (Jesus) shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3).

(Food For Thought)...I find it interesting that after Jesus resurrection he walked on this earth for over a month and on one occasion was seen of over five hundred brethren at once (1 Cor 15:6).
