There is now no condemnation for those who are
in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).
Young people condemned by others on social media have been known to commit suicide, even if the accusations are untrue. Being condemned falsely can be a fatal thrust of the dagger into a young psyche, ill–equipped for
such heartless attacks.
Now, there’s nothing false about our sinfulness and Paul’s explanation, “The wages of sin are death” (Romans 6:23). Paul uses this wording to prepare for a crucial truth about godly condemnation. It’s gone if you have trusted Jesus, who “demonstrated His love” by dying for you. In today’s reading, Paul addresses spiritual condemnation. We all deserve it—we’ve got it coming. We have violated God’s law and stand in explicit opposition to Him. Every human has earned a death sentence—our guilt is obvious. Instead, Jesus demonstrated His love for us by dying in our place (Romans 5:8). Just like that (snap your fingers with an upward flourish), our guilt is forgiven. Thank God, Jesus Christ took our shame and died so we can avoid eternal punishment
for our sins. Condemnation, begone.May 20
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness.
He is the head over every power and
authority. (Colossians 2:9–10).
Many people have doubted that Jesus Christ is truly divine. Throughout the last 2,000 years, there has been a whole movement aimed at discrediting Jesus Christ, but the Bible drops many hints about the divine nature of Christ. The Lord doesn’t seem concerned about proving Himself to doubters. He puts much more emphasis on us first taking a step of faith, and I don’t mean blind faith. The best faith is practiced with eyes wide open. After we express our trust in Him, then He reveals Himself. He’s there in nature, of course, and He is on the pages of Scripture. That’s the starting point for faith. Trusting Him initiates
God–human intimacy.
God the Son became human to save us, so that makes Him “the 200–percent man.” One hundred percent God, and
100–percent human. That’s God’s divine math.

JOURNEYS is currently delayed in printing.
Explore the lives of 21 biblical figures who embark on personal journeys that ultimately changed the world, climaxing with the life of Jesus Christ. This book will inspire you to fulfill your life’s journeys through the power and purposes of God.EXCERPT:
Life is a journey—better yet, a never–ending highway of
rush–hour, bumper–to–bumper journeys. We turn homeward
to heal old wounds, bury our dead, or perhaps rediscover a lost friendship. We revisit our greatest victory and sweat through our most humiliating defeat. We hit the road on a quest for wisdom,
to fulfill a dream, right a wrong, or explore the beckoning horizon. We agonize through grief and pain, maybe follow God’s path to redeem the evil culture around us. Life is nothing if not a
constant panorama of changing scenery, anxious confrontations, new experiences, joyful celebrations, and great adventures
waiting to be joined.
Some of life’s journeys produce a pounding pulse and pumping adrenalin. Others are pursued with dread and dragging of feet. Occasionally, we stifle a yawn. Whatever your experiences, life
is a journey of constant movement; sometimes slow and
serene, sometimes a blinding blur. But always, MOVEMENT.

from Day 42, "Hey, That Was Dad!"
An East Coast family planned a West Coast vacation, but Dad could not leave on time. So, with the family driving through the western desert without him, he made secret plans to meet them there. When the family’s station wagon whizzed past the hitchhiker, one of the children shouted, “I think that was Dad!” The roadside reunion was full of fun, and made lifelong memories. When asked why he would do such a crazy thing, he explained, “After I die, I want my kids to say, ‘Dad sure was fun, wasn’t he?’”
