The Romans Road to Salvation

1/6/2023

1 Comment

 
The Romans Road to Salvation
"What is the Romans Road to Salvation?" you might ask.

It's a step-by-step road map of sorts through the book of Romans (the sixth book in the New Testament) that explains the simple plan of salvation. 

Each step is so clear that even a child can comprehend and understand how to be saved. 

Verses like Romans 3:10, "None is righteous, no, not one," Romans 3:23, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," and Romans 5:8, "but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" are included in the road map.

We have a Romans Road to Salvation printable we sell here over in our little Etsy shop, but today, I want to give it to you for free!

An Unwanted Answer

9/2/2022

Do you ever find yourself thinking that some of God’s ways, at times, seem to make no sense? Have you ever been baffled by the injustice and cruelty we see in the world or about the unanswered prayers in your own life? It’s okay to admit it and to be honest about your questions. That’s what the prophet #Habakkuk did. In his perplexity, he cried out and came to God with raw honesty rather than pretty words. #​God did answer Habakkuk, but not in a way the prophet expected or was happy about.
“Habakkuk’s journey into trusting faith can provide a pattern for believers through the ages as they wrestle with how God’s justice is worked out in experience.” —David Firth

It’s okay for us to admit it and to be honest about our questions. That’s exactly what the prophet Habakkuk did. In his perplexity, he cried out to God, and he came to God with raw honesty rather than pretty words.

Sweeter Than Honey: Tell of His Glorious Deeds

5/24/2022

8 Comments

 
In #Psalm 78, Asaph reminds us how important it is that we tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the #Lord. Why is it important? “…so that they should set their #hope in God and not forget the works of #God…” (78:7). I can’t express how important it is that we pass on to future generations, to our #children and our children’s children, what God has done in our lifetime and the “…things that we have heard and known, that our #fathers have told us” (78:3). #Biblestudy #devotional
From the Old Testament to the New, the eternality of God's Word is clearly proclaimed: 

Job tells us, “I have treasured the Words of His mouth more than my portion of food” (Job 23:12). 

Isaiah reminds us that, “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God endures forever” (Isaiah 40:8). 

And Matthew records Jesus saying, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will never pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

God's Word is like an eternal Love Letter to us!

​Have you ever received a love letter, friend? Did you read it? Did you read it just once, or did you read it over and over again? A Love Letter is a treasure when you love the One who sent it!

Biblical Version of Captain Small Pig

Biblical Version of Captain Small Pig
​I have long loved the book Oh, the Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss. But today, I am more in love with it than ever because of what Kristen, over at Joyfully Thriving, has done with it.

This past summer, my friend Joy introduced me to Kristen's site. I love what she's done with Oh, the Places You’ll Go, Guess How Much I Love You, and I Wish You More. She writes meaningful, thought-provoking Scripture in the pages of these books! ​Kristen has a free printable you can download here for Oh, the Places You’ll Go. You can buy the printable in her Etsy shop for Guess How Much I Love You. She also sells all three books—with Scripture writing in them—in her Etsy shop.

I downloaded Kristen's free printable for Oh, the Places You’ll Go. Then, I purchased the printable from her Etsy shop for Guess How Much I Love You. These guides helped me create Scripture books for our grandsons.
