| I like the challenge of solving problems, the sense of accomplishment that comes from building a system or offering a service in a new or unique way. I like knowing I offered a safe robust cost effective plan to serve the public so they will not be disappointed and can learn, discover, and enjoy their experience at the museum or gallery. I like working with a diverse group of people over wide a range of disciplines. I like the banter, the conversation about simple enjoyments in life. I like knowing I am making a contribution to the well being of my city, society, and world!
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too! | | |
| I see a trend:
Do you see it too?
Mt 1:21 -
And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Mt 3:2 -
"Turn from your sins and turn to God, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near. "
Mt 3:6 -
And when they confessed their sins, he baptized them in the Jordan River.
Mt 3:8 -
Prove by the way you live that you have really turned from your sins and turned to God.
Mt 3:11 -
"I baptize with water those who turn from their sins and turn to God. But someone is coming soon who is far greater than I am � so much greater that I am not even worthy to be his slave. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Mt 4:17 -
From then on, Jesus began to preach, "Turn from your sins and turn to God, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near. " | | |
| It will always give a Christian the greatest calm, quiet, ease, and
peace, to think of the perfect righteousness of Christ. How often are
the saints of God downcast and sad! I do not think they ought to be. I
do not think they would if they could always see their perfection in
Christ. There are some who are always talking about corruption, and
the depravity of the heart, and the innate evil of the soul. This is
quite true, but why not go a little further, and remember that we are
"perfect in Christ Jesus." It is no wonder that those who are dwelling
upon their own corruption should wear such downcast looks; but surely
if we call to mind that "Christ is made unto us righteousness," we
shall be of good cheer. What though distresses afflict me, though
Satan assault me, though there may be many things to be experienced
before I get to heaven, those are done for me in the covenant of
divine grace; there is nothing wanting in my Lord, Christ hath done it
all. On the cross he said, "It is finished!" and if it be finished,
then am I complete in him, and can rejoice with joy unspeakable and
full of glory, "Not having mine own righteousness, which is of the
law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness
which is of God by faith." You will not find on this side heaven a
holier people than those who receive into their hearts the doctrine of
Christ's righteousness. When the believer says, "I live on Christ
alone; I rest on him solely for salvation; and I believe that, however
unworthy, I am still saved in Jesus;" then there rises up as a motive
of gratitude this thought-"Shall I not live to Christ? Shall I not
love him and serve him, seeing that I am saved by his merits?" "The
love of Christ constraineth us," "that they which live should not
henceforth live unto themselves but unto him which died for them." If
saved by imputed righteousness, we shall greatly value imparted
righteousness.
Do you want to know what thrills me? It is the fact that God's Spirit
brings these truths to his people in all times, to all kinds of
people, in every sort of circumstance. Recently Tim was telling me
this very thing by way of encouragement. Then one day shy of a week
later I read it here. How cool is our God? | | |
| Are you still waking up knowing your Lord claims you as his own?
7 We are like clay jars in which this treasure is stored. The real
power comes from God and not from us.
8 We often suffer, but we are never crushed. Even when we don't know
what to do, we never give up.
9 In times of trouble, God is with us, and when we are knocked down,
we get up again.
Here we are again! Do you know why? There is a fancy pants way of
saying it, "perseverance of the saints" But it is simple. God keeps
his children going towards himself. God at work.
