What's on our hearts lately...

The Gospel.
Nothing can change everything in your life quite like the grace of God in the gospel of Jesus Christ. That period at the end of that sentence is critical, for Jesus Himself said boldly, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" John 14:6 which sums up Acts 4:12 in "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
If you want to see the gospel in an even clearer section of Scripture, there may be no better description than what Paul provides in Romans 3:19-26, which comes right after chapters 1 and 2 of Romans in which it's clear that all mankind from birth are guilty as sinful people before God's holiness and therefore are without excuse in regards to His commands. And thus the only hope for any of us, is the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. To do as Christ first commanded in Mark 1:15 and "to repent and believe in the gospel" which is to repent of our sins and self-focused life and to trust in Christ by faith, only then will God see all our sins as being imputed to Christ on the Cross and His righteousness as imputed to us, so now when God sees us, He sees us as having lived the life of Christ! 2 Cor. 5:21, "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."
What grace.... what mercy!

Too Long between posts...






So this whole living in a new state thing, new life, new job, new church etc. seems to have taken away from us keeping you all informed, thru pictures and text, how the Lord is continuing to use us and guide us here in MN. So while I can't contain all the pictures I'd like in this one post, this will be the starting text to get you up to date on some of our happenings.
We are loving it here, feel the Lord has really blessed us with Redeemer Bible Church, it's leadership, it's body and the consistency in which the Word is preached each week. Living with Tom and Lisa has been a great blessing, especially in the area of cooking meals and having a place of no rent sure helps! Although we do pay back some thru house chores, some of which Lisa has been waiting for almost 25 years to complete...
Miss loves her job, Keenan loves his new daycare, where he is outside all day and comes home exhausted and a little dirty, but he's a boy! I'm searching, interviewing and waiting for employment... and the Lord is perfect through it all! although my patience isn't.
Here are some pics to enjoy, there are a couple from the first couple of days here, at the park with Uncle Kev, the computer set up down stairs in "our house" and some wrestling btw me and my nieces.
