Personal Reflections

I continue to sense a call from God concerning the message of the cross.  I believe the message that comes from the cross and comes through the cross is the message that our culture needs to hear at this time in our history.  We hear such conflicting messages from various sources today yet the message of the cross has remained the same throughout the ages.  There have been times that the message of the cross has been diluted and in some cases even hidden by the opinions and ideas of humanity.  Yet the cross continues to reflect and declare the true love of God for humanity.  Humanity looks for the complicated and God has given us the simplicity of the Gospel.  Humanity is given the option to believe the truth and as we release our faith we are able to receive the forgiveness of our sins through the Mercy and Grace of God.  It is no wonder that we can celebrate the "amazing Grace" of our God that was revealed and released through the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Would you join in the celebration with me today?  Would you join me in encouraging others to declare that marvelous message?  And would you practice the reality of that message among your friends and family?  The message of the Gospel can and will make a difference in your journey through life.
