For those of us who are imperfect and trip and stumble along the way, I have good news. We have a lawyer that intercedes for us and serves as a mediator between God and us. Jesus was man, so He is well aware of the temptations that we face. Moreover, He paid the price for our… Continue reading My Lawyer

Paid in Full
If I were charged for every sin I've committed thus far, I'd never be able to pay the price. This is why the sacrifice on the cross (and Isaiah 53) moves me to tears.

What I love most is that… Continue reading Sing, shout, dance

His words marked me and reminded me of Paul's writings in 1 Corinthians 1:28… Continue reading Damaged Goods
