The life of faith is more than assent to a set of propositions, or even believing that God will do good things in our lives. The life of faith is something we live, it is something we do, it is a series of actions in our lives. And no one exhibited this idea better than Abraham… the Father of our Faith. Let's consider him.

As we move ever closer to Good Friday, and consideration of what the Lord did for us that day, we need to be reminded that the complete and unconditional forgiveness we have in Jesus is also the kind of total forgiveness He asks us to give to others.

May the words of our mouths AND the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in the Lord's sight. But so often our words fill all the time, and there is none left for the meditations of our hearts, or for the Lord to speak. Yet making a place for Him to speak to us is the highest form of prayer.

If you think eternity with the Lord is going to be eternally boring, think again. When Jesus said He had come that we might have life, He not only meant "life" in the sense of aliveness and appetite for life, He also meant that life would be eternal. And what joy that eternal life will include.
