Most of us have played checkers in our lives. Well, the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 3 makes several daring checker-like leaps landing on the best play of all: When we look away from ourselves toward Jesus, the veil covering our hearts is lifted and we enter the presence of God. And everything changes.
"When One Turns to the Lord"

2 Corinthians 3: 12-18
Whether we live or die we are the Lord’s….forever. Everything is going to be OK. We are in the triumphal procession. We are the fragrance of Christ everywhere and the aroma of Christ to God. What a great and gracious God we have. In this present darkness, He gives us life and victory and calls us to follow Him in the triumphal parade. AMEN!
"The Aroma of Christ"
2 Corinthians 2: 12-17
Barry Phillips
Truth and love from Paul's second letter to the Corinthians. We’re called to be doing life together. For this season of our lives, God has placed us together. We’re forming an alternate community to the madness in the world so that the lost and weary can see a better way. The loving life of the church is the witness to the God who is love. We’re called to be a body growing organically. We’re called to a vivid life of shedding tears for each other, of laughing together over the wonder of our savior, of knowing abundant joy and abounding forgiveness. This is the way God decided to do it. To create his church in the midst of all the messy conflicts, the predictable failings and the constant striving. It takes work. It takes faithful commitment. But we know, deep in our bones, that this is the community we long for in a lonely world. This is the struggle and the joy of belonging to each other in Christ.
