The Rescuer

"For he has rescued us from the one who rules in the kingdom of darkness, and he has brought us into the Kingdom of his dear Son." Colossians 1:13

Sounds like a good movie doesn't it--"The Rescuer"?

We all like to think of being rescued don't we? It always makes us feel good to know that the good guy snatched the victim out of the clutches of the bad guy. But this verse is even better! It says that if we know Christ we already have been rescued! If you read on it just keeps getting better--not only has he rescued us, he has brought us into the Kingdom of his dear Son! Sounds pretty good to me.

I have to ask myself though, am I living like one who has been rescued and brought into the Kingdom or am I still allowing the enemy to lie to me and treat me like his victim?

How about you? It's your choice you know. I'm choosing the rescuer who takes me from "strength to strength".

I Live on Hope Street!

"Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone." Psalm 33:22

Wall Street. Main Street. Is your head swimming with all the anxiety and predictions for your financial future? None of that for me. Philippians 4:19 tells me that ..."my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." I can live with that.

Where do you live? I live on Hope Street.

He is Awesome!!

Wow! What an awesome week-end! What an awesome God!!!

Thank you Lord Jesus for showing up at our Women's Retreat this week-end. You grace keeps on amazing us! Thank you for rest, peace, laughter, tears, food, more laughter, more tears. And yes, we all surpassed our allowance of 25, 000 words easily!

We so needed this and more importantly we so need YOU, Lord.

Thank you,
Your girls @ HCF

Take Heart!

John 16:33 in the NIV says, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world".

Read today's headlines? Don't look there for encouragement. To paraphrase, Jesus basically said, "Calm down. Stuff is going to happen. But don't let it get to you. I'm bigger than all of it!" Ask the Lord to help you see things the way He does--perspective is everything!
