Bridging the Great Divide

The greatest example of all loving service is the cross. But there is no other symbol on earth that attracts more anger and division. On the cross God once more divided the light from the darkness. One thief cursed him and one believed. One disciple betrayed him and one came to the cross. One soldier gambled for his robe and another believed He was the Son of God. Yet on the cross of Calvary where its very beams divided the universe in two Jesus built a bridge over the great divide between God and man. There His sacrifice joined together forever anyone who say goodbye to their old world of hatred and sin and meet Him by faith at the cross.

Real help for Real trouble

Sometimes it is comforting to hide behind a wall of silence in an attempt to maintain an appearance of okay-nes. But walls and pretending do nothing to help.

The reality is that every day without God’s help we are free falling ever deeper into the dark abyss of fear. How wonderfully loving of our God who always knows the truth to have His grace available to us when we cry out. And through all our trouble it has never been God who is hidden from us but we who have hidden our faces from Him.

All Grace

When I have problems and am helplessly facing the overwhelming I have hope. I hope because our God is the God of all grace! His grace that rescued me yesterday is still as vital today. His promise to be with us always includes this very second. How great a peace He offers when I trust that in all conflict all difficulties all disappointments and failures He remains always and ever the God of all grace!

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
I Peter 5:10 NKJV
