the question

So many times we ask ourselves, "How could a loving God be so judgmental towards sinners? How could you show such punishment and wrath and judgment to us in our sin?" We are so man-centered!

Instead we should be asking, "How can God be completely holy and completely just, and yet forgive us and show mercy to us when we rebel against Him? How can God satisfy His character and save our souls at the same time?"

The Gospel is the answer. It's only by His blood. His blood covers us. His wrath is satisfied on the cross. Look at the cross. This is the beauty of the Gospel. See the beauty of the cross?

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! He is merciful towards us as sinners - He substitutes Himself in our place!

I've posted a ton today, so if you're actually interested in seeing what we've been up to over the past year, make sure you look at the last several posts. They go all the way back to last summer!

Finally catching up

Sooooo, I'm way behind. As in, so far behind that it's ridiculous! But at least I'm catching up, right??? Anyway, here are pics from our trip to the beach (LAST) summer. Yep, a year ago.

Oh well. Enjoy!
