Happy 250th Anniversary of the birth and independence of our great nation America founded as one nation under God within the Christian faith in the sovereign providence of our God!
May the Lord bless USA, our great nation for which I'm so thankful to God for and I love patriotically as an American after my love for my Lord and Savior and my family!
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
~The American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
Below is my favorite family photo and photoshoot and the older I become the more important the having and maintaining family photos and family photoshoots become to me!
Happy Father's Day Dad!
I thank God and you for being my father and everything you instructed and taught us from the Word of God and taking care of us physically!
I honor you & I pray that the Lord would fill & bless your heart with his love, wisdom, and strength. I love you!
Before God, all people are spiritually destitute and unable to help themselves. Some people have a hard time admitting this. It’s difficult for us to acknowledge we need to reach out to God and need His forgiveness. We prefer the illusion of being spiritually self-sufficient, of being good enough in and of ourselves.
But the Bible doesn’t give us that option. What do we have to offer God—our righteousness? Romans 3:10 says, “No one is righteous—not even one” (NLT).
Our good works? Isaiah 64:6 says, “We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags” (NLT).
The only thing we can offer God is our sincere humility. James 4:10 says, “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor” (NLT).
The 5 Solas do not shrink the Christian faith.
They instead rescue it.
Scripture alone is our authority.
Grace alone is our hope.
Faith alone is our empty hand.
Christ alone is our Savior.
God's glory alone is the end of it all.
