Beloved???

In Jude verse 17 he address the beloved by stating, “But you, beloved…”  What a great statement!  Beloved!  In this portion of scripture Jude is talking about the believer.  Do you realize that when a person becomes a follower of Jesus Christ that he or she is beloved by God.  This transformation from enemy of God to child of God can and does only take place through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.  He completely redeems us from our sinful state and transforms us into children of the living God, Beloved.  The problem and challenge is to allow this stance before the Lord almighty to impact the way that we act day-in and day-out.

At the movies for xmen

Aimee, Brandon, and I are at the theater waiting for the new xmen movie to start a 12:01. It was aimee’s idea, in which she must have read my mind becuase I have been waiting for it to come out. The showing is almost sold out.

Seized by the Hand…

“…So the men seized him by the hand…” Genesis 19:16.  Genesis 19 is not one of the most kind hearted chapters of the Bible.  As a matter of fact many people stay completely away from it.  They feel it is too harsh, not loving, or even unfair.  But in the midst of destruction, God gives us a picture perfect, Kodak moment of salvation.  The cities Sodom and Gomorrah are about to be destroyed and Lot is brought to the understanding of the pending doom.  He then is rescued from this horrible situation by two angels who seize him by the hand and remove him and his family from the cities.  This is a great picture of what God does for us, in the midst of the pending doom due to our sin, God reaches down and “grabs us by the hand” and saves us.  He is so loving, kind, caring, and mighty that even though I am stuck in my sin that He saved me through His son Jesus Christ.  Although chapter 19 of Genesis has destruction in it, it is a great picture and reminder of salvation!
