My personal experience and conviction is that Jesus Christ is alive and here among us and he stands ready and able to guide you in every step of your life.

The final book this season in the Renovaré Book Club is Dallas Willard's LIFE WITHOUT LACK. It's hard to imagine a timelier offering than Dallas's reflections on the 23rd Psalm. Monday (Mar 30) is the last day you can join the Club this season.

Teach us to hold Jesus before us always, with the knowledge and understanding that only through him can our fellowship work and magnify your name. Amen. (2/2)

[Richard Foster @FosterEveryday]

Father God, you sent your Son to this earth that we may be one, and yet we fail so miserably. We look out for our own interests first and put your work last. We allow ourselves to be separated by jealousy and bitterness and misunderstanding. Forgive us for our failures. (1/2)
