    Note: Usually, my posts reflect my passion: to bring God's Word off of the page and into our daily lives. To discover how to live it, to be encouraged by it, and how to make it real and alive. But, every once in a while, I want to share something deeper. A new understanding. This is just such a post:     To explore the depth of God's Mercy and Grace. But because of his… Read More

    Grace, Grace God's Grace Grace that will pardon and cleanse within Grace, Grace God's Grace Grace that is greater than all my sin Julia H. Johnston, 1910, Public Domain Grace.

Extravagant gift: Even before creation, He determined to give His… Read More

  • A Wacky, Warped Parable

    I came across this and just couldn't resist. * Caveat: I'm not responsible for the grammar or the extensive use of "and." I stress this: This is NOT a real parable. It is NOT in Scripture anywhere. I hope it doesn't offend anyone. It was written at least 50 years ago but the author is unknown. He/she had quite a sense of humor! I hope it makes you smile. The Parable of the Good Samaritan… Read More
