Thank you Lord – New Year’s Prayer
Thank you Lord for this past year and may your blessings and grace be upon us in this coming year. May our travels bring us closer to you, our weakness make us stronger in our faith, and may we rejoice in all things, knowing you are in control.

Grace when worked out
Grace when worked out in our finances, looks like generosity. In our homes, it looks like hospitality. In our relationships, forgiveness. -Andrew Wilson
Grace is power
Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon. -John Piper
The cross stands as a reminder
The cross stands as a reminder that God, in grace, takes very bad things and turns them into very good things. -Paul Tripp
