Gripped by God's grace and love (I love Jesus, my amazing husband, and my 2 children.)

"Amazing grace—how sweet the sound—
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see."
—John Newton, "Amazing Grace"

“The Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” —Psalm 100:5

[Jim & Elizabeth George @JEGeorgeAuthors]

Prayer for Today: Lord Jesus, life is such an interesting mix of joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain. When the suffering comes, remind me that You are my strength and deliverer. Amen.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

God's love not only applies to your past sin and your future eternity; God's love meets you where you are, right here, right now.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

If God sent Christ to earth to be crushed for our eternal salvation, it makes no sense for God to turn his back on us during our present time of need. In other words, the guarantee of our eternal future also guarantees everything we need right here, right now.

[Thomas Watson @ThosWatson]

It is a great comfort to a believer, when his prayer is weak, and he can hardly pray for himself, that Christ's prayer in heaven is mighty and powerful.

[Jim & Elizabeth George @JEGeorgeAuthors]

Prayer for Today: Father, open my heart and my mind to the truths in Your Word. Reassure me that You’re in charge and that You love me. Thank You for all You do for me. Amen.

“The ground is level at the foot of the cross. There is one race: human. There is one class: sinner. One hope: Jesus. One future: resurrection. And one fortune: the eternal riches of Christ.” @jdgreear @TruthNetwork

“Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.”

D-Day was 82 years ago today.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Every day you will face things that are bigger than your wisdom and deeper than your spiritual maturity. Not only do you need daily forgiveness; you need daily assistance.

[In Touch Ministries @InTouchMin]

God doesn’t expect perfection—just a heart that trusts Him, even after we fall.

[Garrett Kell ن @pastorjgkell]

The Gospel was shared with me, at least in part, 17 times before I believed it.

1. Don't give up sharing the Gospel with people who don't want to hear it.

2. Don't give up praying for people you think would never believe.

3. Hope in a patient God who loves to save rebels.

[Jeffrey Perry® @JeffreyPerry09]

May God help the tone of our lives to continuously be:

“Be merciful unto me, a sinner.”

And not

“Thank you, that I’m not like others.”

[Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund]

It is once again a good day to remember that our ultimate loyalty must be to Christ alone.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Only Jesus is “Jesus”.

There are no “messiah-like” or “savior-like” figures. There is only one.

One Messiah. One Savior. One Lord. One King.

Jesus alone. No one else comes close.

[Will Graham @WillGraham_4]

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." —Psalm 51:10

[Jerry Bridges @bridgeswisdom]

When you are going through struggles of any kind, or adversity you may be facing, remember Jesus is interceding for you.

[Sharon Hodde Miller @SHoddeMiller]

On the heels of celebrating the true kingship of Jesus Christ, and what such a king is like, it remains as easy as ever to divest ourselves of allegiances to fallen worldly leaders.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

"A whole civilization will die tonight” are words no President of the United States had ever spoken until this morning. Donald Trump’s behavior is unhinged and making Americans less safe. After a 25-year career in the United States Navy, I have never met or served with anyone who so completely lacks the qualities of good leadership as Donald Trump does.

If the President takes the actions he has threatened to take, countless Iranian civilians will die, it will massively escalate this war, and the United States will be seen as a country without a moral or ethical compass. That will make Americans less safe right now and risk the lives of thousands of service members. The consequences will have a lasting and damaging effect on our nation.

Trump's mistakes have led us to this perilous moment, but the solution is not to escalate even further. This must stop.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Lord Jesus, if you were prejudiced, you not only would not have died for people from every tongue, tribe, and nation, but you wouldn’t have come to human beings at all! When I am tempted to look down at “that type,” help me to remember your unprejudiced, free grace for me. Amen.
