From the positive message of the Spirit-empowered life afforded the children of God, Paul shifts to the sufferings of this present age; a reality that does not negate the promises of God regarding the future.#ASufferingHope

 Having introduced the theological realities of what the Holy Spirit is accomplishing, and making possible, in ways that the Law never could, Paul now moves to the implications of these realities in daily life. #SpiritedImperatives

Despite the assurances from Paul that, as believers, we have been crucified, buried, and resurrected with Christ; that sin no longer has dominion over us, why is it that we, intuitively, think otherwise in our own minds. #TheStruggleIsReal

  Paul is forceful in his rejection of the notion that because of grace behavior doesn’t matter.#EthicsMatte

 Beyond the favorable view of God, grace is a transformational power that makes possible an obedient faith.#GracePower

 Something dominates each of our lives and, as such, sets the guidelines for how we live and where we will end up. #WhatReignsRules

 Matthew 11:25- 30

 We often lack an awareness of our brokenness until life finally breaks you. #GoingBroke

 We too often fail to appreciate from whence we came, and the significant, but unexpected, relationships we had along the way.#AbrahamAndYou
