I've had this blog a while now but considering I hadn't written since...November, I'd just delete all the old stuff and give this a face lift. Nothing has changed much except the background picture and that I'll mainly be updating on here rather then the both of us. He is just too forgetful to keep up with this!! But I'm sure he'll pop in from time to time to put in his updates and such. So! This is the beginning (again) of my blog and this time I will be remembering it.
I'd like to share :) An excerpt I read today in a book I'm studying, perhaps it will get you thinking....{"How dost Thou spare the wicked if Thou art just?" Is answered from the effect of Christ's Passion. That holy suffering there on the cross and that resurrection from the dead cancels our sins and abrogates our sentence. Where and how did we get that sentence? We got it by the application of justice to a moral situation. No matter how nice and refined and lovely you think you are, you are a moral situation---you have been, you still are, you will be. And when God confronted you, God's justice confronted a moral situation and found you unequal, found inequity, found iniquity.} When God found sin in us, he sentenced us to death. But Jesus Christ came to die, not to change God's stand on sin, but to change our moral situation and our sentence of eternal hell. What a reason to rejoice!

Wow, I like that. It's simply put and straight to the point that defines what and why we are Christians. Jesus was the largest, and most important sacrifice ever because it wasn't just for those around Him at that time, but for the rest of humanity. That was touching girl!
Liz! Good stuff, man, good stuff. Where did that quote come from?
