Here’s a sweet article from my wife Cheryl on this 10th anniversary of my father in-laws home going.

God knows what He is doing with us and the plan He is working out for us.

As a potter with the clay, He is working to fashion us into the people He wants us to be. He never gives up.

The Bible begins with the wedding of Adam and Eve and ends in Revelation with the wedding of Christ and the Church. Marriage is God’s idea. ~Tim Keller

Since marriage is God’s idea, we humans are not free to reinterpret it.

Though our world is overflowing in wickedness, rebellion, and sin, God is still extending mercy and calling sinners to repent.

God is still pouring out His Spirit and offering grace to all people.

[Back to Basics Radio @backtobradio]

We are at a place where we can see a great outpouring of the Spirit of God in our time.

Right now, let us pray and ask the Lord to intervene. Let us personally and collectively keep crying out to Him.

Sometimes we are mourning and in need of comfort.

God will come and give us His beauty for our ashes of grief and His garments of praise for our spirit of heaviness.

Jesus was sent into a world filled with poverty, broken hearts, and captives of sin.

Jesus came to proclaim the Good News of God's salvation. This is the same message His people are to bring to our broken world.

[Back to Basics Radio @backtobradio]

The outpouring of the Spirit and an awakening from God historically happens in times of disruption and upheaval.

Let's ask God to step in and do something powerful.

Adultery is one of the most emotionally painful experiences anyone can go through. It is pain that extends beyond the victim to children, family, and friends.

All around us we see the wreckage caused by adultery, but Jesus is able to forgive, heal, and restore.

If we as the church band together, partner for the Gospel, and see ourselves as the people of God on mission, we will make a tremendous impact on our communities.

[Back to Basics Radio @backtobradio]

There is no peace for the wicked because the wicked are perpetually at war with the Lord.

Surrendering to the Lord is the way to wholeness, peace, life, blessing, and goodness.

@BrianBrodersen on Isaiah 54-57 https://t.co/1kbtA3VlnY

[Back to Basics Radio @backtobradio]

Don't worry if we don't feel like we're growing after reading our Bibles.

Faithfully read God's Word. We will eventually bring forth fruit because God promises that His Word will not return void.

@BrianBrodersen on Isaiah 54-57 https://t.co/1kbtA3VlnY

[Back to Basics Radio @backtobradio]

The invitation of Jesus as the Bread of Life is to everyone who is hungry for fulfillment.

When we come to Jesus, He will give us the soul-satisfying gift of eternal life.

@BrianBrodersen on Isaiah 54-57 https://t.co/1kbtA3VlnY

[Back to Basics Radio @backtobradio]

We try therapy, we self-medicate, but the fact of the matter is we are guilty. Guilt will ultimately crush us.

The only way it can be lifted is through Jesus who bore the guilt Himself.

@BrianBrodersen on Isaiah 52-53 https://t.co/1kbtA3VlnY

[Back to Basics Radio @backtobradio]

There is great hostility against the idea that God would punish Jesus for our sins when He died on the cross.

Why? People do not want to believe in a God who will punish sin.

@BrianBrodersen on Isaiah 52-53 https://t.co/1kbtA3VlnY

[Back to Basics Radio @backtobradio]

How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the Good News of the Gospel.

There is tremendous gratitude when the greatest news of all goes into a place and people get saved.

@BrianBrodersen on Isaiah 52-53 https://t.co/1kbtA3VlnY

[Back to Basics Radio @backtobradio]

Our wellbeing and future blessings are contingent on our connection to Jesus.

There are the blessings of our current relationship with Jesus and there are the future blessings of His eternal presence.

@BrianBrodersen on Isaiah 50-51 https://t.co/1kbtA3UNyq

[Back to Basics Radio @backtobradio]

When we become Christians, our lives drastically improve. We have eternal life, our sins are forgiven, and we will never perish.

But we also have an enemy who is going to oppose us.

Satan is the god of this age and he has blinded the minds of those who do not believe in Jesus.

These blinded people have great animosity toward Jesus but they don't know why.
