Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. —Matthew 5:16 One faithful witness is worth a thousand mute professors of religion. Tom Allan, Scotland’s famous young preacher, was brought to Christ while a black soldier was singing, “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?” He said it was neither the song nor the voice, but the spirit in which that soldier sang—something about his manner, something about his sincerity of expression—that convicted him of his wicked life and turned him to the Savior. Our faith grows by expression. If we want to keep our faith, we must share it—we must witness. Prayer for the day May others be drawn to You, Lord Jesus, as I tell them of Your love.

Jesus Has RISEN

Forgiveness is the key to salvation. We are for giving, Not for getting. We are forgiving, Not forgetting. ✨💚🙏🏽

Listening to podcasts? Reading the books? Saving the posts? Having the conversations? Doing all the worshops? Consuming all the learning? It’s so easy to feel like you’re “doing the work” for a moment… it feels like movement. But if we’re really honest, most of the time… it’s not. It’s sometimes just a more sophisticated way of avoiding actually living it. Because living it asks something of you. It asks you to move, to take the step, to do the thing you can already feel is there…. That’s the part we sometimes avoid, not because we don’t know, but because we are scared…. Scared to be seen. Scared to get it wrong. Scared of what their life might look like if they actually follow through. So we stay in preparation mode… More learning. More consuming. More waiting. Waiting to feel ready… But here’s the truth... You don’t become ready first, you become ready through moving.The path doesn’t appear before you move, It appears because you do, so let me ask you…. Is there something you can feel right now that you haven’t acted on? A step you keep circling, a move you keep delaying? What would it look like to stop preparing and actually live it? Not perfectly, just honestly, take the step and watch what opens.... This is the part most people avoid, the part where you actually live it!! Feel free to reach out I would love to share with you more deeply what that has looked like for me. ❤️❤️❤️

... unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. —Revelation 1:5 Blood is mentioned 460 times in the Bible. Fourteen times in the New Testament Jesus spoke of His own blood. Why? Because by the shedding of His blood, He accomplished the possibility of our salvation. He paid the penalty for our sin and redeemed us. The penalty for our sin and rebellion is death; Jesus stepped out and said, “I’ll take that death.” He voluntarily laid down His life and took the penalty we deserve. That’s what the cross is all about. The blood of Jesus Christ not only redeems us, it justifies us. Being justified means more than being forgiven. I can say, “I forgive you,” but I can’t justify you. But God not only forgives the past, He clothes you in righteousness as though you had never committed a sin. Yet it cost the blood of His Son on the cross. Prayer for the day Lord Jesus, with a deeply grateful heart I thank You for Your sacrifice upon the cross. Your blood has cleansed my sin and made me worthy of forgiveness.
