Sin

[3] When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; [4] What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? [5] Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty! [6] You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, (Psalms 8:3-6)

"...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," (Romans 3:23)

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23)

Can You Hear Me Now?

[3] And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow; [4] and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road , and the birds came and ate them up. [5] Others fell on the rocky places , where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. [6] But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. [7] Others fell among the thorns , and the thorns came up and choked them out. [8] And others fell on the good soil and *yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. [9] He who has ears, let him hear.” [18]  “Hear then the parable of the sower. [19] When anyone HEARS the WORD of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road. [20] The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who HEARS the WORD and immedi...

Life By Death ~ Romans 6

Image
  Romans 6 [1] What should we say then?  Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply?  [2] Absolutely not!  How can we who died to sin  still live in it? [3] Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized  into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?   [4] Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death,  in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead  by the glory of the Father,  so we too may walk in newness  of life.  [5] For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death,  we will certainly also be  in the likeness of his resurrection.  [6] For we know that our old self  , was crucified with him  so that the body ruled by sin  might be rendered powerless  so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, [7] since a person who has died  is freed  from sin. [8] Now if we died with Christ,  we believe that we will also live with h...

Who's at the Helm*?

( Mark 4:1-34 ) [35] As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.”   [36] So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed).  [37] But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.  [38] Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?”   [39] When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves,  “Silence! Be still!”   Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.  [40] Then he asked them,  “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”  [41] The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!” Mark 4:35-41 * The steering gear of a ship, a position of leadership or control .
