Avis B. Christiansen, 1895–1985 When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified Him, along with the criminals—one on His right, the other on His left. (Luke 23:33) A Hill with Three Crosses— One cross where a thief died IN SIN One cross where a thief died TO SIN A center cross where a Redeemer died FOR SIN. It is thought that the day we call “Good Friday” originated from the term “God’s Friday”—the day that Christ was led to the hill of Golgotha and crucified, assuring an eternal reconciliation for lost man. The Roman cross, intended to be an instrument of cruel death, instead became an instrument of new life and hope for the human race. God loved and valued each of us so highly that He was willing to pay the greatest price imaginable for our salvation. The composer of this hymn, Harry Dixon Loes, was a popular music teacher at the Moody Bible Institute from 1939 until his death in 1965. One day while listening to a sermon on the subject of Christ’s atonemen...

Contentment comes when we live one day at at time and enjoy one moment at a time. Its the clear path to peace. Making plans is important and fine, but we get anxious trying to make the future happen too early and when we don't let go of the yesterdays of our lives. Living IN the moment (while challenging) is potent living indeed. Learning this has become one of my greatest gifts of life today. Be Blessed 2-day ... Especially 2-day Start With This Moment.

WOUNDED FOR ME W. G. Ovens, 1870–1945 (verse 1) Gladys W. Roberts, 1888–? (verses 2-5) To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps . (1 Peter 2:21) Death by crucifixion was one of the worst forms of dying. No Roman citizen was ever crucified; this horrible death was reserved only for Rome’s enemies. The Roman scourge was a most dreadful instrument of torture and suffering. It was made of sinews of oxen, and sharp bones were inter-twisted among the sinews so that every time the lash came down upon a body, these pieces of bone inflicted fearful lacerations and literally tore off chunks of flesh from the person’s bones. This is what Christ endured in accomplishing our redemption. But the physical suffering was not the worst. Rather, the weight of human sin and the separation from God the Father because of His wrath against sin were the real causes of the Savior’s death. But simply knowing about Christ’s sufferi...

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up to it. (1 Corinthians 10:13) What happens when life gets to be just "too much?" Good question, especially if you are going through "it" right now.  But it is a good question for which the LORD Jesus has an answer. Recognize the lie that you are the only one who has ever gone through this tempatation or the only one who is going through the temptation: Check out the first part of the verse above:  What you are going through is "common."  That is right. What you are going through has happened before and may even be happening to other folks, even as you experience being "siezed" by it. God is faithful:   He has journeyed with others through this and brought them to the other side.  God may allow you to be brought to this, but Go...
