Note; Today, October 5, 2024, marks my 71st birthday. I am celebrating by posting this blog, going to the gym (15 weeks now) and then collapsing.
If you can, go to my Facebook site, find my Birthday Donation site for Chains of Grace and make a donation of any size to Chains of Grace. My goal says $500, but I would really like to hit $1000 for Debt Retirement for Chains of Grace. We can pay off one of our houses by reaching just $20000 in donations outside the budget. This will be a big help to our residential ministry for men coming out of prison. Please help us help these returning citizens.
Now, to our subject.
We spend most of our screen time at this site on the subject of Jesus, the Christ. This is Day Six of our time on the subject of our Lord. Since I call Jesus our Lord you can instantly tell my bias. I believe Jesus is the Prophet/Messiah of Israel, Second Person of the Trinity, our Savior, Redeemer and Lord.
Yes, we will get to the Trinity soon. Evangelical Atheists spend a lot of time attacking us on the subject of the Trinity, so we need to spend some time on that particular part of Christian doctrine.
for today, accept this framework for life based on the Christian faith.
Your life is a ministry. You are not here for a career or an education or a job. Your life is a ministry.
The ministry that is your life belongs to God. Your ministry is not to be picked up and laid down at your convenience. Your life ministry belongs to God.
Since your life is a ministry and your life ministry belongs to God, when you get to the end of what you know, you can trust God to be there to show you what is next. You will not feel empty if you are filled with the presence of God. You will not feel forlorn if you have God’s expressed love. You will not feel directionless if you seek to do God’s will God’s way. You will never run out of people to help.
Happy day to you and yours. Please donate to Chains of Grace today.
