Our devotional today was over 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, but we focused specifically on verses three and eleven:

“I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me.  Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said…So it makes no difference whether I preach or they preach, for we all preach the same message you have already believed.”

We moved into our new office last week, so we didn’t quite get around to posting a Wednesday blog—it’s hard to sit down and write when all the desks and chairs are still being arranged—but we’re in our new office now, and all the furniture and files have been set up and organized.

Is God Enough?

The Sunday School answer is of course, yes.  We as Christians know that He should be, He has to be.  If He’s not enough for us then what are we doing wrong?  Are we not strong enough believers?  Do we not read the Bible enough, pray enough, witness enough?

The last few devotional blogs have mentioned the hardships and heartbreaks of working with children in the foster care system.  The blogs talked about some heavy topics, but always reminded us that even when we feel small, the Lord is great, and our smallness is nothing compared with His greatness.

In the last few months there have been numerous natural disasters and tragedies around the world and it seems as if a tide of hate and fear is rising.  As Christians we live with the knowledge and peace that Jesus will come back one day and make all things right and new, but for now we have to live on this broken earth where it can be so difficult to trust in the Lord and to persevere.

In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus tells his disciples: “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.  Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Maranatha

Come Lord Jesus

Sometimes that is all you can say in the face of the world and all its problems.
