The Bible teaches us that Jesus came to this world in order to save it. In short He came to make all things new. We are new creations in Christ. We are made the Father’s new family in Christ. Our old self, the carnal, the physical self, dies to make way for our new, reborn spiritual self.

Sometimes I need to be reminded of these things. Sometimes I am so wrapped up in the symantecs, or meanings of the words and phrases that I forget to look at the deep meaning, the true meaning of things.

Dreams of Lost Friends

Last night I dreamt (dreamed sp?)  about a person from my past. It was strange for me for many reasons. One is that this person had a large hand in shaping who I am today, as a follower of Christ.

Back then I was regularly let down and disappointed by this person. In this dream we were just talking with other friends, friends who I haven’t seen or heard from in a long time, about their walk with our Lord. This dream was prompted by a loss. My wife lost a long time friend to … Click to Continue →
