What a powerful psalm that is!<BR/><BR/>“We have to understand the truth about ourselves before we can hope to be reconciled to God and to each other. “<BR/><BR/>Amen, Christina! Unless we understand the truth about ourselves (i.e., our total depravity) and the nature of God’s perfect goodness, justice, and wrath, we can never fully understand how incredibly wonderful the Good News really is. How sad to be a Christian and never fully understand the Gospel! <BR/><BR/>“The grace that accepts us and forgives us as children of God.”<BR/><BR/>The Scripture never says that God will accept us as we are. How can he possibly accept us with all the sin, rebellion, and idols that are wrapped up in our being? <BR/><BR/>Rather, when we repent and believe, we are joined to Christ such that, when the Father looks at us on Judgement Day, he does not see us but Christ. As C.H. Spurgeon once said, “When God accepts a sinner, He is, in fact, only accepting Christ. He looks into the sinner’s eyes, and He sees His own dear Son’s image there, and He takes him in.”Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16233214774255040658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96293419562500820.post-74852239398304553172009-03-21T09:07:00.000-04:002009-03-21T09:07:00.000-04:00Hi Bob!<BR/><BR/>To answer your question--"Seeking the light" is the "tag line" if you will for our congregation. <BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/>Becky<BR/><BR/>-Keep reading!Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14693642837306639327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96293419562500820.post-86822789651637955282009-03-20T09:57:00.000-04:002009-03-20T09:57:00.000-04:00I have been enjoying this Lenten blog series. But I wonder, why is this blog called "Seeking the Light"? It seems to me that you have clearly "Found the Light" and it is in between the pages Genesis 1:1 and Revelation 22:21!Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16233214774255040658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96293419562500820.post-57197817600183785442009-03-11T10:49:00.000-04:002009-03-11T10:49:00.000-04:00AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS ALL OUR STRESSFUL DAYS AND THOSE THAT WOULD NIP AT OUR HEELS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY COULD.MDCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96293419562500820.post-67707660116781306832009-02-27T08:12:00.000-05:002009-02-27T08:12:00.000-05:00Jenny: 1st Pres of Chili has an online prayer chain that begins with this Scripture reading from Philippians 4:6-7:<BR/>&quot;Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer &amp; petition, with thanksgiving , present your requests to God, and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts &amp; your minds in Christ Jesus.&quot;<BR/>As a chronic worrier, I read this every morning &amp; pray that it&#39;s lasts me through the day.

I am not focusing on the rapture. I will follow Peter’s advice which sounds like yours. Don't wait - act !<BR/><BR/>“ . . . beloved, while you are waiting for these things, strive to be found by him at peace, without spot or blemish; and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation.”<BR/><BR/>God is so wonderfully patient. Every Advent he waits for us to come back to him, to join with us as together we watch for the star to appear and lead us to the stable and our salvation.<BR/><BR/>Peter concludes with a beautiful advent thought, commending us to “ . . . grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11889934562186494937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96293419562500820.post-26228935043160751282008-12-15T23:36:00.000-05:002008-12-15T23:36:00.000-05:00nicePhil Passantinonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96293419562500820.post-3591585431622399872008-12-15T21:58:00.000-05:002008-12-15T21:58:00.000-05:00nice blog mom!Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08487404879658286401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96293419562500820.post-42795045906425004272008-12-09T23:30:00.000-05:002008-12-09T23:30:00.000-05:00Great post, thanks!
