November 28th – 1 Timothy 1:15
1 Timothy 1:15 I am thankful that God loves a sinner like me When it came to Christians, Paul was public enemy number one. No one persecuted God's people more fanatically than him.

November 22nd – Romans 5:8
Romans 5:8 I’m thankful that even though I’m a sinner, Jesus died for me Romans is my absolute favorite book in the Bible, and chapter 5 is one of the reasons why.

Psalm 32:1 Many Christians struggle with forgiveness. We understand the concept in our heads, but fail to receive it in our hearts.

We fear our sin… Continue reading September 12th – Psalm 32:1
August 28th – Luke 6:16
Luke 6:16 Judas was a man who stole from the poor, betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, and ultimately hung himself in the potter’s field.

Things like sitting in church every… Continue reading August 28th – Luke 6:16
July 30th – Leviticus 25:10
Leviticus 25:10 For Israel, every 50th year was set apart as the “Year of the Jubilee.” Literally meaning, “ram’s horn”, it was a year of rest for both the people and the land.

Romans 7:15 Do you ever get frustrated because you ask God for forgiveness then keep going back to the sin? Paul understood very well the struggle all Christian’s face.
