Redemptive Love Makes a Difference

Last Sunday, our church was blessed to receive a message from Dr. David A. Baer of Overseas Council International (sorry I couldn’t find a link for you!). He preached on Isaiah 2 and encouraged us all that as we believe God’s Word, we simply cannot be pessimistic. Because, although at times we will grieve in this life–ultimately, one day, God will have His way.

I took two pages of notes on his sermon and I won’t type them all in for you now, but here are just a few nuggets that I keep mulling on and praying over as I go through my (busy!) week:

– The gospel makes a REAL difference in the world. Real peace ensues and flows as conflict is vanquished by persistent, stubborn love.

– We don’t have the luxury of individualistic piety as we walk with Christ in His love that is all-conquering and all-gathering. Corporate worship flows out of life together.

– History ends in GLORY. The vision of visions–judgment and glory. This IS where things go.

I tell you–based on the challenging day this momma has had, I am encouraged to remember Truth.

Thank God for the Cross!
 Thank God for redemption.
Forgiveness of sins.
Hope.

Love to you all and Happy Tuesday!

Yours,
Tara B.
