God’s grace does not shame. It honors. It lifts the shamed, guilty, and fearful to ecstatic wonder, praise, and joy. It enables the redeemed to sing “amazing grace” without feeling like a wretch. —Larry Lichtenwalter

Yet there are times when God relates to us in silence. As strange as it might sound, even His silence is a sign of God’s personal dimension. He is free to speak, and He is free to withhold His word.—Frank Hasel @frankmhasel

Throughout Scripture God is depicted as a person who speaks, who communicates, and who reveals His will to human beings. Speaking is one of the distinguishing marks that He is a personal God and no mere force or impersonal power.

Did he though?
Yes, the devil is responsible for sin, but as humans with sinful natures, we need to take responsibility for our sinful actions. We still have free will, even though it is corrupted by sin. We can choose to follow Christ, to ask for His help, to be transformed.
The blessed might possess nothing,
be hungry, humble, afflicted, humiliated,
endure hardships, and be persecuted…
yet life cannot take happiness from them because life has not given it to them.
The Beatitudes depict a “reversal of all human values.”
-Ranko Stefanovic

So many people are suffering right now because of war. Please lift them up in prayer. Do what you can to alleviate suffering, to comfort the grieving, to call for peace. We know that sin destroys, but we call on a God of restoration and healing.

Militant Christianity wants to control and takeover in the name of Jesus. But the Bible teaches that the preparation the church makes is not making the planet a utopian political kingdom for Jesus to return to.—Trevor O’Reggio
