Waiting is not always a bad thing; it can bring its own joy -the thrill of anticipation.

You may not be able to predict the time of a tornado, earthquake or the Lord's return. But you can know for a fact that He is coming back. Work today to share the escape route of God's grace with others, before the night cometh.

When the Bible uses the words salvation, Savior, and save, it's speaking of the total work of God in bringing people from a state of death - hopeless separation from God - to a state of everlasting life through the forgiveness of sin, based on the merits of Christ Jesus who died and rose again. Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God's love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity.

If you are at a hard place in life, hesitant to ask for help, God invites you to ask Him so He can meet your need.

If we don't take inventory every once in a while and give thanks to God for the great things He has done for us, we get totally out of perspective.

In reading our newspapers today, we can see how God is setting the table, getting everything in order, preparing the way for Christ to return.

I believe the sense of lost opportunity is rooted in a faulty understanding of God's grace. Likewise, when grace is grasped and embraced, the Land of Opportunity becomes yours again.
