Let's Get Saved!

I don't know about you but there are times when I need rescuing! Most of the time from myself! But there are times when the world - stress from your job, tension from different difficult situations, life itself - feels overwhelming, and you need to be saved. Remember that ridiculous commercial that said " Calgon, take me away!" It was bubble bath, for pete sake! The woman was relaxing in the tub. Trouble hadn't magically disappeared. The 2 year old was standing right outside the bathroom door. In James 1:19-21 we are reminded that when things are difficult, " humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you."Not only did Christ's death give us eternal salvation but His Word can save us in those difficult times in our lives. Saving grace! Let's continued to be saved!

  1. Thinking of many in our congregation who are facing long-term trials and praying for patience and perseverance for them. When dealing with those long term issues it is always so difficult to keep your attitude positive. I also find myself asking the why question, which is usually not productive in the least.
