The Lord continues His work in our lives - changing us right up until the time we come face to face with Jesus, and seeing Him, become just like Him. The tool He uses is His Word...
While the letter kills, the Spirit brings life - and ALL scripture, as Paul writes Timothy, is God-breathed and profitable. Learning to appraise the Law and the Prophets spiritually will bless you abundantly
Jesus has left the building! (Oops - the world) But his light still shines, reflected off, not shiny polished mirrors, but beat up, bumpy old humans who have said to Him, "Use me Lord"
Life is a bumpy road, but the Lord can smooth the ride out for you. There is a spiritual shock absorber, and His name is Jesus Christ. From our bible study in 1 Thessalonians at BibleTalk.com
The mercy and forgiveness of the Lord is great when you receive it. Maybe even greater still when you give it. A powerful way to deal with those who do you wrong!

Christians are called to love those who are completely unlovable - not even likeable. Beyond tough, it's impossible without the love of God filling us. They will know that we are Christians by our love!
