Press On: Leaving the Past Behind for God's Glory
I spent some time last week talking to a friend about doing some personal inventory, asking for redemption and then moving on. We must press on, we must leave the past in the past and press on in our daily lives not for our glory but His. Man, we need to let go of the past, the pain, the heartbreak, and the disappointments. We need to let go sadness and instead choose to live our lives in faith. We take God at His Word. In Christ we are a new creation. We have a new start and we choose to run. We run our race for God’s glory. “Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”Philippians 3:12-14 Be Nice. Grace wins.

Not Earned
Confidence in our salvation doesn't come from our good works, it comes from God's grace. Our good works are the result of our faith, not a requirement for it.

What Does It Matter?
When you find yourself judging someone else's motives for sharing the gospel, ask what Paul asked from his prison cell: what does it matter? As long as Christ is preached.

Paid in Full
A Cody Johnson lyric stopped me cold: Jesus has already paid every debt I owe. Most of us walk around with a tally sheet. But the books were balanced two thousand years ago. Tetelestai. Paid in full.
