Jesus made a promise in Mark 10 and Matthew 19 that, although our lives include sacrifice and suffering, those who walk with him have God’s supernatural provision.
I've been chewing on Matthew seven lately. Jesus tells us rain, wind, and storms (basically, opposition) will come. The difference between those who stand and those who fall is . . .
Tomorrow, I leave for a mission trip to South Africa with our middle daughter, Olivia, joining a team of seven from Ramp Church Manchester. I was 14 years old when I went on my first international mission trip.
The thing I’ve learned about changing is if you’re motivated by despair in yourself you’ll only ever see how far you need to go. But if you’re motivated by love for God, you’ll be filled with gratitude for how far you’ve come.
