dW 03.16.07

scripture
Ephesians 2:8-10
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
2 Peter 1:3
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

quote
God, who prepares His work for the ages, accomplishes it by the feeblest instruments. It is the method of His providence to produce great results from inconsiderable means. The law which pervades the kingdom of nature is discerned in the history of mankind. Truth makes silent progress, like the water that trickles behind the rocks, and loosens them from the mountain on which they rest. Suddenly the hidden operation is revealed, and a single day suffices to lay bare the work of years, if not of ages.

The Hollar Twins

Please continue praying and I'll continue relaying the updates.

The Hollar Twins' Pictures

Born to Ben and Megan Hollar:
Tyler - 1 pound 2 oz, 12" long
Jack - 1 pound 7 oz, 12 1/8" long

Excerpt from the last update:
"Most remarkably, within the first 24 hours of their lives, Jack and Tyler were prayed for by what we believe to be hundreds of people in the U.S., Canada, and overseas. I am collecting stories about how believers have spread the word about these babies and about how their lives have immediately been used to witness to the glory of God. Not only will Tyler and Jack have a published record of their warm reception by the Body of Christ but everyone connected by prayer to them have reason to praise the grace of God."

dW 03.14.07

scripture
1 Corinthians 11:1
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

quote
A rough workingman left his home one winter morning in Chicago on his way to the factory. There had been a heavy snowfall the night before. Because the day was cold and the man was not feeling quite up to the mark, he decided that he must have a bracer before he went to his work. He was heading for the rum shop at the next corner. As he plowed his way along through the snow he heard a small voice pipe out behind him, "Father, I am coming too. I am putting my feet in your tracks". The man did not go to the shop that morning when the significance of the situation dawned upon him. He would make no tracks into the door of a rum shop for his boy.
Charles Brown

Rhetorical question: What kind of example am I for my kids, my family, my friends, my coworkers, or even the person at the grocery store? Am I a light for Jesus or a dimming switch?

dW 03.13.07

scripture

Romans 6:11-14

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

thought

Have you ever heard someone say about their sin, “it is okay because God forgives me”? That statement is only half true and must be sickening to God. Yes, God does forgive you but it is not just okay to continue sinning. When we sin and do it without regard to the blood Jesus poured out on the cross we are saying that His blood is nothing more than dirty dish water.
