For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
– 1 Corinthians 1:18 (NIV)
Paul tells us that the core message of the Christian faith is not easy to accept—and that is how God wants it! To proclaim that we are so sinful that Jesus had to die so we can interact with a holy God is offensive to the person who tries to justify himself or herself by their behavior, yet it is only when we see the depth of our sin that we can receive the height of His mercy. The cross of Christ humbles us as it lifts us up.

Finally, today, the first real spring day here. Temps in the low fifties early at sunrise, bright sunshine, and going into the high 60's.
Thank you Lord.
My goodness! Every time I look up I have one less friend in my list of friends on Christian Chat. People keep leaving CC.![]()
