some days in Romans 8


 

The next few days we will examine some of Romans 8 and how God gives us the truth of how He has changed out lives.  These verses dig in deep.


Deep in to our conviction fueling our confidence.  Deep in to our minds removing the lies and distractions from our enemy.  Deep in to our futures with what God has already settled for each of us who know Him.


Read on and note what sticks out for you.


Romans 8:1-2  NLT  

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. 


Condemnation is something that we have to deal with.  Just living in and out of each day we will come across the struggles and even the battles that leave us scared and beaten down by condemnation.  So how is it gone or thrown out?


It is by the grace and goodness of God that we are forgiven of our sins and destined for real freedom.  Freedom us the gift that God’s spirit brings to us.


Literally this freedom is life.  Instead of bondage or slavery that is lasting freedom from the power our sin so that we can enjoy the life giving truth of God.  Go another step forward.


Romans 8:14  NLT  

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.


Because we are the children of God there are some things that are true about us.  These things will change our hearts and minds, our thinking and our acting, our outlook and passions.


We have the ability to get past the pain and live in freedom.  We have the blessing to let go of our sin and live each day to the fullest that freedom will allow.  Follow the spirit because that is where our best gifts and amazing future will be found.


In Christ there is no more condemnation.  And for that truth from Romans 8 I am grateful!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
