EPHESIANS 1:1-14

Paul is singing praises to God that God has chosen him to be holy and blameless in His sight. He has made the mystery (the salvation through Jesus Christ) known to men. We have a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance in heaven.

So why do I continue to think I haven't done enough?

Why can't I just let God forgive me?

It's called pride.

It is pride to say "God, your plan of salvation didn't cover it for me..."

It is pride to say "I'm special..."

God, please forgive me of my pride and make me humble, and realize that the sufficiency of your crucifixion was enough to cover my sin.

the fall is upon us...

Ah, the weather is starting to cool down, fantasy football leagues starting up, summer toys being replaced with back to school items...

as the seasons change over, it is a time for reflection and check to see what we've accomplished, what we haven't, and what we hope to this fall...
