He Did It All For Us! (celebrating a new life)
Today we celebrate a new life! The Son of God gave up His heavenly throne and came to earth as an infant for us. The Messiah lived and ministered for us. The Lamb of God suffered and died, taking on the world’s sins, for us. The Redeemer rose from the dead to provide life for us. The Prince of Life did…
When All You Seem to Hear from God Is No (the message of the cross)
Is God’s answer no or really yes? “Daddy, can I ask you even though you’ll say no?” I overheard a little girl ask her father this recently, and I had to chuckle. She asked for a cell phone; he said no. Apparently she trusted his decision and moved on without complaint. I’ve not always been so…
He Lives! (so we have hope)
He is risen! “[Jesus] is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.” Matthew 28:6 Because Jesus lives, we have hope. We can face tomorrow. This song, “Because He Lives,” captures that hope beautifully. Wishing you a joyous celebration, rejoicing in His resurrection that secured our salvation.
Why We Cannot Bypass the Cross for the Empty Tomb
A sob always escapes when I read through the final day of our Lord’s walk on earth. I often rush to the passages about Jesus’s resurrection, eager to get to the end of the suffering and the beginning of the triumphant. I rush because I don’t want to experience the emotional pain. I can handle physically hard,…
Mended By the Blood of Jesus
There is a wooden welcome sign that hangs in my kitchen. But several times over the many years I’ve owned it, it lay broken on the floor. This wooden plaque had been created with infinite care. Human hands spent hours lovingly working the intricate scroll work. I couldn’t toss it out, no matter how broken. So with a…
Refresh the Promise of Your Salvation
The period after something special happens is often a time of letdown. The anticipation is gone. The high dissipates. Returning from vacation. The end of a favorite sport or yearly season. The days or weeks after Christmas or Easter. The aftermath of an inspiring conference. The completion of a job change or house move. When…
A Walk Through Easter
It all began in the beginning where all things begin. Man’s journey from fallen to saved began with Yahweh, with the living, breathing Word of God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). He breathed man into existence and gave us paradise. But…
Hello, I'm Julie, an imperfect wife and mother of four. Life in this broken world is not always easy. Yet, joy can be found in each day through the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I find it's easy for our day's blessings to get lost in its happenings. But God's "mercies never end" (Lamentations 3:22) and His "grace is sufficient" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
May the posts and pages on this site offer you a measure of peace and encouragement.
