Message
This is a quote from the theologian, Rebecca Manley Pippert, about Jesus Christ:

“What do you do with a man who is supposed to be the holiest man who has ever lived and yet goes around talking with prostitutes and hugging lepers? What do you do with a man who not only mingles with the most unsavory people but actually seems to enjoy them? The religious accused him of being a drunkard, a glutton and having tacky taste in friends. It is a profound irony that the Son of God visited this planet and one of the chief complaints against him was that he was not religious enough.”

Gents, think about that the next time you judge someone else. Also, think about that the next time you feel like you are not good enough for God. God is here for us, even in the Fake Gloom, even through our mumble chatter, even at our Board Meetings. And you know what? He probably enjoys us. This holiest of holies is on our side. So, let’s feel good about that and let it give us the energy to go about our days working to be true HIMs.

COT:
Are you ever too far gone? Beyond the reach of God’s love?
This is one of those cases where a superlative is actually appropriate. Never means never. But what if you messed up your life/family/Sinned really bad?/Walked away from the faith. The same miracle working God who worked with the dead breathless body of Jesus to become the risen King can breath life into your soul.

My strange place for encouragement but let’s check out lamentations 3:21:
But this I called to mind and therefore I have hope. The steadfast line of the Lord NEVER ceases. His mercies NEVER come to an end. They are new EVERY morning. Great is Your faithfulness!
