Faithful is our God

“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”” (Deuteronomy‬ ‭31:6‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

Wherever I travel, I see God’s faithfulness. Also, wherever I go I see people struggle. Struggling is normal. Often our struggle is rooted because we have lost sight of the target. Let’s be reminded that in our tough circumstances, God has not forsaken us, and never will!

grace

It’s a gift we don’t deserve.

It’s the source of salvation that begins our new life.

It’s the strength that keeps us going in this new life.

It’s a vehicle that brings God’s love to me.

It means I don’t have to measure up. Thanks God!

It comes as the outworking of God’s love and is the only true source of ministry.

It’s the way of the Light, the light that is the light of all people.

It’s freely offered to you, wherever you are as well as the university students from Hungary, Nepal, Vietnam, China, Nigeria, Iraq, and Yemen and the rest of of us hanging out in Jyväskylä, Finland.

I was honored to share how God’s grace brought peace to me through the finished work of Jesus.

Jesus + nothing = right with God!

It’s been a week of grace!

Grace can’t really be anticipated. We just walk on and rely on it. It’s beautiful when grace surprises us.

Like getting to teach a New Testament class last week to these awesome students in Vinnytsia, Ukraine!

Walk on in Grace my friend!

though everything shakes…

“Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭102:25-27‬ ‭ESV‬‬

the train last night from Kyiv to Vinnytsia heading toward the dusk

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”

Behold the Lord

“For behold, he who forms the mountains and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth— the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!”

‭‭Amos‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭ESV‬‬
