A welcomed break… #GoEagles!

God’s Love is acceptance, but not of our marred version of identity. God’s Love accepts us for who we really are beyond our delusion and insecurities. He accepts the image of Christ at our core, that’s in our DNA, and through his Kindness, restores us to our true selves.

For my own use, I’ve been studying / amplifying the New Testament with all possible meanings from the original Koine Greek. … WOW!!! Christ’s Unconditional Salvation of Creation is deeply woven in literally EVERY SINGLE BOOK of the New Testament (most of which references Old

My next conquest… I added this little gem to my library and will spend the next few weeks, amidst scurrying kiddos, enjoying it. @jasonclarkis dives into how Love (“God is Love”) isn’t controlling, nor does He want to be anything other than relational. *sips coffee, opens to

“The world screams, ‘Get Even!’ but Jesus says, ‘Move in the opposite spirit’… Judgment, even when justified, amplifies the negative ‘sound’ that tears at creation. Instead, Jesus invites us to release a sound of Love, forgiveness, and blessing.” - @BillVanderbush, The Sound

The assassination of @charliekirk11, whether it be politically motivated or faith motivated, proves the hypocrisy of this world, as it attempts to silence an opposing voice through the very violence the opposite preaches against. This is extremely sad and unworthy of those made

Jesus rewrote the script on sin. In a single moment, He exposed the guilt of the accusers while dismantling their self-righteous judgment (John 8:7–9). Then, turning to the woman, He spoke freedom: “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on, sin no more” (John 8:11). In

“With every kind of humility of mind—an outlook that refuses self-exaltation and instead considers others above oneself—and with gentleness, a meekness that is strength under control, not harsh or domineering. With long-suffering patience that endures provocation without

“Chase after, with vigorous effort, the wholeness of peace and harmony in relationship with everyone, and also the consecrated holiness — the state of being set apart unto God — for apart from this no one will truly behold, perceive, and experience the Lord.” - Hebrews 12:14 (a
