Auston Jones: Christianity is not Burger King →
austonjones:
“Have it your way.” This has been Burger Kings slogan for as long as I can remember. It’s a good slogan. Who doesn’t want to “have it their way?” I certainly do most of the time. But this slogan does not transfer over to Christianity, despite so many people trying to do that.
There are parts of…

A Plea for Mercy-Max Lucado
The Lord is not…willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV
What of those who die with no faith? My husband never prayed. My grandpa never worshiped. My mother never opened a Bible, much less her heart. What about the one who never believed?
How do we know he didn’t?
Who among us is privy to a person’s final thoughts? Who among us knows what transpires...

Contentment (Max Lucado)
I have learned to be satisfied with the things I have and with everything that happens. Philippians 4:11 What if God’s only gift to you were his grace to save you? Would you be content? You beg him to save the life of your child. You plead with him to keep your business afloat. You implore him to remove the cancer from your body. What if his answer is, “My grace is enough.” Would you be...

we are nothing {but blessed}
Seriously, cannot even begin to comprehend the absolutely ridiculous amount of Grace I receive every single day. We are such crummy sinners, we fall short of perfection every single day, every single hour, every moment in life. But the crazy thing is what we do is not important. It is what Christ has done. He has taken on the shame, the guilt, the captivity that sin has buried us in and He took it...
