thoughts
1 Cor 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:
“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
------------------------------------
What sense does it make to all?
the message of the cross is the power of God.
that Jesus took your sickness so that you have every right to be healed.
that Jesus took your inadequacy so that you have every right to hit the mark.
that Jesus took your poverty so that you have every right to be rich.
that Jesus took all your curse so that you have every right to be blessed.
that Jesus took all your bondages so that you have every right to be FREE.
that Jesus took your sin so that you might be the righteousness of God in Christ.
2 Cor 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
the focus is on Christ and the finished work, and NOT on working on your inadequacies, on your attitudes. Not ever. For Christ did not come to die for us so that He might introduce more laws. He came to fulfil, and He has. But we all, with unveiled face, we will be transformed into the same image of Christ always from glory to glory. How? I don't know. It's God's way, not the ways of Man. That just by beholding the glory of Jesus and the cross, you end up walking more and more on the path of the righteous. That's why it's foolishness to those who are perishing but to me, it is the power of God.
Stop mixing law and grace. Preach the person of grace, and everything will line up.
“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

i never thought i'd be drinking these again. but it was well worth it.completion @ approx. 6am
and now, to enjoy our break. :D
Just AMAZING how beautiful it is. Up there in the Rockies. Hidden lakes, snow-capped mountains, crisp mountain air. I mean, it wasn't even the season for snow! YET, the Lord brought snow on the second day, and perfect weather right after, just so I could see the pine landscape dotted with snow on our second hike to Emerald Lake. How great is our God, huh? :) you bet.
You guys have no idea. At all. :)

the year of jubilee
1 Chr 22: 6Then he called for his son Solomon and charged him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel. 7 David said to Solomon: "My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God. 8 But this word of the LORD came to me: 'You have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight. 9 But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon, and I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign. 10 He is the one who will build a house for my Name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'
-----------------------------------------------
it's funny how we know, yet we don't really see the tangibles. faith.
the Lord will guard my house, the Lord will guard my rest. this is the year of the Lord. :)

acknowledgement
Isaiah 53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed
--------------------------------------
waiting to hear about that miracle :)
it's a finished work. a perfect, finished work.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed
--------------------------------------
