Interacting with unsaved relatives is such a wonderful reminder that we are totally dependent upon the grace of God. We may not understand why God has saved us, but we can certainly be grateful! Barry - What a great passage to memorize! Ron - I absolutely love The Gospel Primer. I'm also grateful for your encouragement. Wendy – So true.

I started going through A Gospel Primer by Milton Vincent and could not put it down! It's such a vivid picture of God's love toward undeserving sinners, I think this post coincides nicely with what I've been reading there. It really is a mind boggling thought that God has any love whatsoever toward a lustful, petty sinner like myself. Thanks for the great reminder this morning, as always I look forward to my time at The Blazing Center! Blessings Ron Reffett Great post, great reminder of the gospel for this morning.

Our pastor has challenged our entire congregation to memorize Isa. 52:13-53:12 as he preaches through the book. (I've almost got it.) I love this passage in Isaiah.

I have been reminded this weekend to pray for unsaved relatives. Through doing that I have been able to have a fresh dose of thankfulness for salvation. The only thing that separates me from them is the grace of God. I would be just as they are and I would do many of the things that they do except that God chose to save me. Why me and not them? Why wasn't it the other way around? I don't know, but it certainly wasn't anything that I did. God, in HIs mercy, chose to save me despite what I did and still do. I had strayed and turned away- I had gone against him- I sin every day- and yet, out of millions lost, he has rescued me from death. It is indeed mind-boggling. Thank you!
