It has been a great year, very busy and with many changes – but it is time to get back here on the blog and share  with those who may be interested in their personal reformation as they are being sanctified by God’s word.

My family and I have moved back to the United States and have been settling into our new community over the last few months.  Once again we  lived in a travel trailer for a couple months while we learned the area and looked for a church home and a place to rent.  God has continued to provide for us in so many ways, He is always good and faithful in providing His mercy and grace and we have been blessed beyond measure.  We found a beautiful place to rent, out in the country on a few acres and the absolute best part of this last move was how the Lord directed us to our new church family – Flint River Bible Fellowship (http://www.frbf.org/).  They are a fairly new church, couple years old that holds to the Doctrines of Grace. We are currently going through the membership process and I’ll post more as we go along.

It is very important to be a member of a local church and we are excited to have found a church that holds the same beliefs of the sovereignty of God. If you are a professing Christian and are not a active member of a local church, please check back occasionally as if the Lord allows, I would like to write on the importance of this issue.

Until then,

Grace to you,

He’s Alive!  He’s Alive!!

That is the shout of joy and praise that fills the Christian heart today.

Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is alive!

Isaiah, Chapter 53 is one of the places that we see the prophecy of the Lord Jesus and His being the Sacrificial Lamb of God. It tells us, very accurately, of the condition of the heart of those who took Him to the cross. Those who despised and rejected Him – us! In our fallen, sinfulness any of us could have been in the crowd in Pontius Pilots’ court crying out “crucify Him!”

In verse 6, Isaiah writes, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” This describes all mankind. We, before receiving the grace and mercy of life from God (Eph 2:4-11), were by nature children of wrath (Eph 2:3), children of the devil (1 John 3:10), or children of Satan, and we lived only to satisfy ourselves (and our master). Before God applied the sacrificial blood of the Lord Jesus Christ to our account we are slaves of sin (Rom 6:17). But now, having believed in our heart that the Lord Jesus Christ died, was buried and rose again on the third day and confessed Him as our Lord and Savior (Rom 10:9), we have been bought by His blood and are slaves of righteousness (Rom 6:18). Jesus Christ has become our new Master. (more…)

I met C. J. Mahaney at the 2006 Together for the Gospel Conference in Louisville and was instantly aware of his humility and great love of the Lord Jesus Christ. He has authored several books in his easy writing style and I highly recommend each of them. Today I would recommend to you two books that capture the central focus of his ministry and his life – The Cross Centered Life and Living the Cross Centered Life.

Avail yourself to the words of this instrument of God and allow your life to be enriched as C. J. shares with you his idea of “keeping the main thing, the main thing.”

Peace and Grace, Cg
