Romans 7-10

Read these chapters with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/. I love the book of Romans! It's such a blessing. Several times in today's reading I just lifted my heart to Jesus and thanked Him for all He has told us through scripture. I love it! Make sure you read today's chapters now!

GOD IS STRONG.




I know, you're all probably thinking "Yeah, Carly. I know. Big deal."

But today's reading was SO powerful and so moving I couldn't help but start out with the message of God's strength and His mighty unfailing love. There is NOTHING that can ever stop His love for us, and I think it's fantastic, to be honest. I LOVED THIS PASSAGE:

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

How comforting, right?! I love it! It just makes me warm and fuzzy inside to have something that I can ALWAYS count on. People will fail in their love, but not God. He will never stop loving us, and there's nothing that can separate us from Him.

...If God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:31

AMEN! Today is Thanksgiving. And although these past few years have been tough for most people-- never forget that you can ALWAYS be thankful for God's love that never stops. He will always love and protect us, and no one can stand in the way of that.

So, who can receive this mighty unfailing love?

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:13

Give thanks to God for all He's allowed us to have. Share His love with others this holiday!

Peace out, folks.

I love Romans. Chapter 8 was read at your Grandpa Terry's memorial. It was one of his favorites. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. It is awesome.

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

By -
Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,...

Daniel 9-12 Read these final chapters of Daniel now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ !!!!!CHRISTIANITY MYTHS REVEALED!!!! I think a lot of times, Christianity comes across as some strict religion for church-goers and saints. You have to give alllll your time and alllll your money away to the church, and you have to stay clear of alllll sins to get into heaven. But I'm here to say THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. Don't get me wrong-- it's not easy to be a follower of Jesus. We have to make sacrifices of time and energy to set ourselves different from the rest of the world. It's hard sometimes to do what Jesus wants us to do instead of what we want to do. But all of these things are easily payed for with the grace, peace, and love that only our God can give. Anyway-- I know that there's this myth that Christians have really strict laws to abide by. That we have to live a perfect life, and blah blah blah. In today's...

Jeremiah 25-27 Read these now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at www.bible.com . JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED! It's a cheesy line. But it's simple, and true, and completely supported by the devotion today. The reading we read was about a choice God was giving to His people-- they could listen to Him or they couldn't... and most of them chose not to. But it makes me wonder... if we're given an ultimatum, and we chose the wrong thing, is it right if we're punished? For instance, I tell my sister that she can hit me, or not hit me. But if she DOES, I'll steal all her money. She chooses herself to hit me, so I steal all her money. Does that seem unfair? She knew what would happen to her if she chose wrong. So really, I think that it's her fault. Does that make sense? This isn't a real situation, by the way :) God told the people they could listen or not listen, and when they didn't... there would be consequences. God is a God of justice, and...
