Our God is the God of second chances. When God’s people are faithful to Him, He showers them with grace. When they turn away from Him and towards self-gratification, He withdraws His grace. For many years, God has been slowly withdrawing His grace leaving us increasingly to face the natural consequences of our choices. What we have before us now is the opportunity for true change, and that begins with us. The question is: are you willing to give up that one thing you absolutely will not give up?

“As I opened my email that morning (9-11), I and others on the listserv had received a cryptic message from a college registrar inside one of the twin towers.

Our society has lost its understanding of the sacred and so instead props up false idols and ideologies. Some create a false sense of sacredness while others are bent on destroying that which is truly sacred.
What is sacred?

For the deliberations of mortals are timid, and uncertain our plans. For the corruptible body burdens the soul and the earthly tent weighs down the mind with its many concerns. (Wisdom 9:14-15)

Truth has been dismantled in our society. But for we who are made in His image and likeness, He who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6) becomes our identity.

Our nature, and that of every creature, has a two-fold character to it: a reflection of His beauty, and the purpose of serving Him. True happiness is only found by living both fully. And we live our humanity to its fullest when surrendered to God’s love.

On any summer day, the boulevard drive along our waterfront is edged in masses of wildflowers. A variety of sizes, shapes, species, and colors are represented. As nature sows these, the plants are mixed together seemingly without any scheme or design. Yet in God’s design they collectively harmonize as a floral carpet adorning the roadway.
At least that is one way to see it. Others, however, may see these as a mess of weeds.
