“Pray because Christ died to give us access to the Father. Pray because God is worthy of our praise. Pray because we need His forgiveness, cleansing, guidance, and protection. Pray because others need our prayers.” #BillyGraham
In Romans Chpt 3 Paul continues to make the point that we as people are not righteous by God’s standard. We might think we’re better than other people or that somehow our religion makes us closer to God than others. But the Bible says none of us are good enough to get to heaven on our own merit. Our actions and our attitudes don’t measure up. God gave us laws to live by and we can’t keep them. In fact that’s why He spelled things out so clearly in His word-to show us that we are guilty before God. The Lord wants us to know that we NEED help. We NEED a Savior. And in the next verses Paul is going to tell us who that is.
Truly, you must go to him, even to our Lord Jesus.
Objection: But, alas, I have nothing to carry with me; how then should I go?
Answer: Have you no sins? If you have, carry them, and exchange them for his righteousness. If you do but come to him, he will give you rest.

Arrived home from time off the grid to some killer @SuperStrokeGolf x @Marvel grips.
Should I give them away? Of course.
Just RT, follow this account and comment Spider, Iron or Hulk. I’ll pick a winner for each grip (plus coin) on Thursday.
It was at this point that Bilbo stopped.
Going on from there was the bravest thing he ever did.
The tremendous things that happened afterward were as nothing compared to it.
He fought the real battle in the tunnel, alone, before he ever saw the vast danger that lay in wait.
Between 93–95% of all the time you’ll spend with your kids will happen before they turn 18.
The final 5–7% of in-person time will be stretched out over the next 50 years.
Parent with that reality in mind.
