Abounding Grace

Where sin abounded, grace much more
Abounded by God’s love.
When Jesus for our sakes came down,
And left the throne above.

Yours

We pray that as our Lord explores
Our dreadful sins, your mercy pours
And covers us for we are yours.

He taught us truth, forgiveness, grace
He taught how gain was loss
Then demonstrated selfless love
By dying on the cross

No Room Made for Jesus while He Made Room for Us

Published by reflectionsintheword

If you are willing, in faith, to knock on the doors of Heaven, you will find there is room, lots of room, all because of Jesus.

At this time, the Church is beset by easy “believism”: whereby we confess faith in a God of our own making. Some believe in a God that does not judge sin. Others believe God exists to give them whatever their lust desires. Still, others believe Jehovah is just one God of many.

Real salvation is available only from the real God of the Bible, not of our imaginations and idiosyncrasies.

A Word on Judging

Published by reflectionsintheword

Carnal Christians are not good at making judgments because self/flesh-centered biases, like beams in their eyes, make it impossible to see clearly. However, those that “are spiritual”, those that are mature in Christ, have the light of God coming into their “eyes” and they can see what needs to be done.
