with corruptible things like silver and gold,
but with the precious blood of Christ,
as a lamb without blemish and without spot.
1 PETER 1:18b-19
I continue to be drawn to last week's Rest Stop regarding the truth that I belong to God.

From Pain

Jesus was moved with compassion
for the multitude He looked upon,
because they were like sheep not having a shepherd.
MATTHEW 9:36 and MARK 6:34
I have witnessed emotional and physical pain in my life. Just this week, I witnessed the pain in friends who discovered their granddaughters had been abused.
I cannot make sense out of the things that cause […]

For if we have become united with Christ
in the likeness of His death,
certainly we shall be in the likeness of His resurrection.
ROMANS 6:5
We often relate the gospel to evangelism. However, notice Paul's passion for the gospel in his letter to Christians in Rome:
I am separated to the gospel of God (1:1).
I serve with my spirit the gospel of His Son (1:9). […]

However, God does not want us to live with […]

SOARING
I love Peter Lord's book Turkeys and Eagles (The Seedsowers, 1987). It is about an eaglet named Hagan who fell from his nest and was adopted and raised by a flock of turkeys on the ground.

Thank goodness Hagan met up […]

among many witnesses,
commit these to faithful men
who will be able to teach others also.
