You did not obey March 5, 2008

Yesterday morning I was sewing in the basement.  Caleb came down to visit me, and as he is not tall enough to close the door from the stair-side, Ebony, our cat, came down as well.  They played a little bit, and then Ebony headed back to the stairs.  Caleb followed, and said “Ok kitty.  Let’s go upstairs.”

 I continue sewing.  A couple minutes later, when they had almost reached the top of the stairs, the rest of the conversation went like this:

“No, kitty.  I said no.  What did I say?  I said go upstairs.  I said go upstairs.  You did not obey.”

Joy in Christ March 1, 2008

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.  But God commendeth his love for us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.”  Romans 5:5-11

The Gospel Song – Jones & Kauflin, Sovereign Grace Music

Holy God, in love, became

Perfect Man to bear my blame

One the cross He took my sin

By His death I live again.
