“Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 Imagine Abraham and Isaac climbing the mountain to build an altar and offer a sacrifice.

The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Vigilant
That night in Yosemite reminded me of how the enemy operates. The devil, like a roaring lion, seeks to devour us. He wants to scare us, rob us of our precious resources, and teach his disciples how to do the same. We can never let down our guard. We must always be vigilant, guarding our hearts and minds, lest the predator make us his prey.

The Be Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Forgiven
Friends, we do not have to carry a knapsack full of guilt around with us. We can lay our burden at the foot of the cross and NEVER pick it up again. We are told that our Father has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west. And the east never meets the west!
The Be Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Saved
Being saved is not just fire insurance. It is not just about getting to Heaven and eternal life. That is just the final result. He came to give us life, life more abundant.
