    Thankfully, Romans 6:23 does not end with the words the wages of sin is death. It continues with the promise we all need, saying that yes, death is the punishment for sin, “but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

    Alba 10-3-2021 THE GIFT IS BETTER THAN THE WAGES Romans 6:23 Sin. There is that word again. It dogs us, it tempts us, and it uses us and tears us down. It is like a virus that doesn't go away.

    Only Jesus can take the bitter waters, the worst of life's circumstances that come to poison us and destroy us, and make us better.

    As a couple exchanges their vows,( those vows include these words) for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, for better for worse. It could also be said: for better or bitter. Or bitter or sweet. Life just has some bitterness built into it. Everyone comes to bitter waters at some point in ...read more

    If you got what you deserved, what would that look like?

    One of the best pastors that I have ever served with always replies with “Better than I deserve” whenever someone asks him how he is doing.

    The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 Samuel 15. The man who stood head and shoulders above all the people is imploding like a skyscraper building with the walls blown out.

    The bigger they are the harder they fall. It is dramatic to see a skyscraper building brought to the ground. Dynamite blows out the walls and the building collapses to the ground. What once filled the skyline becomes reduced to a pile of rubble. The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 ...read more

    We look at the fall of King Saul. We see how he rationalized his sins by selective obedience, shifting blame, and subterfuge. Then we study the true nature of obedience and end with an enlightening story.
