Galatians.

"For freedom Christ has set us free" would be the title of my senior year memoirs haha. The struggle of believing the gospel as sufficient, and not needing addition or subtraction, but that Christ crucified and risen is enough ... That Christ's death and resurrection has accomplished freedom for us to enjoy, not to submit again to a yoke of slavery. Oh the transforming work of the explicit gospel, unfiltered, untampered, uncensored. Christ and his work on the cross alone has set us free. We are free!

Sometimes you just need to tell someone. It's really good news.

Father, grant me the faith to announce it and walk in step with it. People here just simply need to meet Jesus. Draw them now, I ask. Spirit move in power in advancing the great gospel. C'mon, I ask for the sake of Your name Jesus.

(And thank you for the book of Galatians.)

That middle part of the semester.

He is a Lord of patience. He is faithful.

-And so the semester goes on. New opportunities, more open doors to share the greatest news ever. Man I love how Tim Keller puts it. Christianity really is essentially news, not advice. Boy do we live in a world that needs news and not more advice.

Oh Christ, fill me with fresh affection and passion for Your name. Boy, do we know You so bad. Let us draw near in confidence because of that cross.

You're just so ... true.

[note to self, dear jon, don't forget how faithful He is. Don't. He's proven time and again to be completely worthy of trust and for being for your best. Trust Him and don't go after worthlessness. He's better. Be faithful to what He's entrusted you with TODAY. Colossians 3:1-4, 1 John 4:10.]
