In Christ you are:

Given every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms

Chosen in Him by God before creation

Adopted as God’s children in Him

Redeemed by His blood

Forgiven of your sins

Lavished with God’s grace

When did this happen?

When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed and were baptized into him. (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 3:26-27)

I have this hat that my dad brought back to me from a business trip to Atlanta when I was 9 or 10 years old. You can see that I’ve worn it a lot. In fact, I wore it to just about everywhere I went during the summer when I was a kid. Church camps, grandparents’ house,...

You Are What You Eat You’ve heard the phrase, “You are what you eat.” Simply defined, it means that you should eat healthy if you want to be healthy. This phrase can trace its roots back to the early 1800’s. It came from the 1826 work The Physiology of Taste, in which...

Above the piano in our house is a large wood sign with the phrase, “it is well with my soul” on it. Kimberly and I purchased it during a season of our life together where we were not completely sure what the future had in store for our little family. Since then, the...

I messed up on recording my recent radio programs. The sound quality was so bad Mark could not run them on the air. So, I deleted them and recorded them again. I sure wish I could do that in real life with all the other mistakes I make. Just delete them...
