The SIN Pandemic
Just as Adam’s sin introduced sin and judgment into the world, so Christ’s death introduced righteousness and justification. In neither case is the first act imputed to others. Adam’s sin is not considered to be my sin, nor is Christ’s righteous life and sacrificial death considered to be my righteous life or death. In both cases – whether one sins and comes into condemnation or believes in Christ and is freed from sin and made righteous –depends on the individual and his actions.
Jude 16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts;
Throughout the scriptures there is an attitude that is always condemned by God. It is the attitude of being a gripping, grumbling, complaining , murmuring, negative person.

From man’s end there was going to have to be a response to this truth resulting in repentance from the sin. How did God show mercy toward mankind and give us the truth that we needed to find our way to…
Today I Carried A Memory
I, along with many others, took time to pause and show respect for this memory. We viewed this memory and enjoyed the times past that brought smiles to our faces. We sang songs of praise that brought the moment in time to a stop so that we were forced to realize the reality of the situation. We prayed for the memory, we spoke of the life of the memory, we were encouraged by the words given on behalf of this memory. People lined up to pay their respects to this memory and those who had…
2 Chronicles 18 tells the story of an unlikely partnership: Jehoshaphat, the godly king of Judah, and Ahab, the wicked king of Israel, joined together to make war against Syria.
Before going to battle, Jehoshaphat was intent on asking God’s will. Ahab summoned 400 of his prophets, all of whom, unsurprisingly, foretold victory. Jehoshaphat then asked if there was not a prophet of the Lord to consult (it seems he could tell the difference!). Ahab said there was one, the prophet Micaiah — “but I hate him, for he never prophesies good…
