Truth Tuesday- 1 Timothy 1:15

By -

1 Timothy 1:15
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

When it seems like everything is falling down around our ears, when life is so different from how it use to be, when our world is turned upside down, there is one truth we can hold onto.  This is something that will stand true till the end of time.  It needs not be questioned, for it will hold true in all circumstances.  This is that Jesus came to earth to SAVE sinners.  He didn't come to show how much better He was than us, He didn't come down to put those who do wrong into a cruel punishment, He came to save those which was lost.  We have all sinned (Romans 3:23) and deserve the worst Hell has to offer.  But God in all His love and mercy decided we needed a way out.  He sent Jesus to pay our debt that we may be saved.  When we accept Him as Savior, He washes away our: lies, backstabbing, hate, shame, pride, selfishness, addictions, depression.  All of these things have been covered and if we come in repentance and seek healing, the Spirit will give us strength to go past these things.  Paul speaks from experience.  If Christ is willing to save a blasphemous, lying, hating, murderer, He is more than willing to take us in His arms of safety.  It is not of our own dealing, but His completely.

Water? Love, The Wayward Chemist

God I don't Understand- 6

Fall 2013 Dear God, That was really cool what you did.  The associate pastor and outreach minister from the church I just visited knocked on my door.  I wasn't comfortable letting them in, but they were content to talk in the doorway.  They asked if there was anything that I needed.  I asked for prayer in finding a job.  The associate pastor proceeded to ask what my background was and after hearing said "I may know a man able to help".  He got my email address and said he would pass it along.  Within 2 days I got an email from the man he described and he seemed interested in talking some more.  He gave me a phone interview although it was more along the idea of trying to get me interested in working for him than it was for me trying to get the job.  We got a time set aside for him to show me the company.  He took me out to eat and said he felt like you were telling him to take care of me because I was walking in the FoG.  I asked...
