Abortion is a highly charged, volatile issue. Much of the debate revolves around this question: Is the embryo/fetus actually a person? What does the Bible say?

No matter what God permits to come into our lives, He always has His "after-ward." He writes the last chapter and that makes it worth it all.

Getting God's grace frees us to give generously. However, we often run back to the very thing(s) from which God freed us. Where God wants to take us is better than where we've been. It won't be easy. Running back to your stuff is safe. It's known. It's comfortable. It will also kill you in the process.

Not trusting in God's Grace results in hiding behind and bondage to the things of this world, while trusting in His grace results in joyful and generous giving. When God's grace gets us, we are free to give generously.

We live in a world where, if we are willing, we see our frailty and weaknesses so clearly.

God did not design a finished creation. Instead, God made the world in such a manner that He would have people not only add to His work, but also make progress in moving it toward completion. He made us, in other words, to participate with Him in His creative work, and to live in such a way that we are productive, valuable, and able to make a difference.

Sometimes God appears to take back what He has given. Yet, God wants us to trust Him. Even more, He acts in such a way that it appears our faith is tested (at times, to the limits). Yet, these "tests" are the means by which God causes us to grow, and mature, and realize we live by His Word, not our own ways. It is all about trusting Him as THE ultimate source of security, joy, and meaning.

Even in the face of Abraham's cowardice and lack of faith, God comes through and makes good on His word. God wants to be known as faithful, even when we are faithless. The foundation of God's relationship with Abraham (and in Christianity) is grace.

Where or how do we gain stability and security? Is it our own making, or do we trust the Lord for our future?

All of God's promises come to fruition. Life outside the Garden evidences the reality that God promised - there is heartache and helplessness. We now live in a fallen world. But even in this fallen world, there is hope. God is not finished but promises life.

After the Fall, the world changes. It changed from being a place of safety to a place where there would be fear, insecurities and pain. Yet, even in that new world, God provided a measure of safety. Today we need to see God and His church as a "safe place" where we, as His people, can take refuge.

There are both frustration and hope for both the man and the woman to motivate them to turn back and find life; life which will be freely offered through Jesus.

Always accusing and always blaming, and we rest much more comfortably when the focus (and blame) is on others. We resist the self-examination that can show us our need and drive us to Christ. Instead, it is easier to point to the failures and sins of others - and keep responsibility at arms length. Always protecting ourselve means we experience broken relationships.

We have such a strong drive, not to be who we were creatd to be, but to be more. Instead of being satisfied that we are Image of God, and God's marvelous creation, we are bent on being gods ourselves. We think we can live apart from and without God. This bent or rebellion started, for humanity, back in the Garden.

God designed the world, and He designed us, humanity, for a reason. Whatever the reason (which we shall go on to talk about), we owe God our very existence. It is for that reason we owe Him both our lives and our gratitude.

God wants us to be self-aware. I hear people talk about the need for the church to talk about sin. A book even asked, "Whatever happened to sin?" Do we find that those who want to talk about sin have a difficult time seeing their own? What is sin and why does God hate it so much? How are we to respond to God's feelings toward sin; and toward our own reflection on our sin and failure?

How can we excel in the grace of giving? By giving more, more often and more strategically.

There is no sugar-coating it. Life is difficult. But we are given a promise that what is thrown at us can motivate us to depend, not solely on our own resources, but on God Himself, who has promised to give Himself to us. He has done so, in Christ.

It is so easy to forget our God, and live in such a way that we think all we are and all we have is because of our own doing. It is so important to remember that our God, whether we see Him or not, is intimately involved in our lives and in making us who we are and providing what we have. We kill our pride and are properly humbled when we recognize God's grace and Christ's lordship in and over our lives.

Scripture calls us to wrestle with those "things" which cause us to stray away from our God. We're called to take note of "issues" in our life and wrestle with them by turning to Christ. Instead of getting our meaning, identity and value from ourselves, the battle is won as we see our dignity and value as God-given. Believe it or not, one "thing" we can distort is "religion" and make it a matter of pride rather than a humble relationship with God throught Christ.

Now what?? When God's All-Star, Moses, retires, what do God's people have? What do YOU have?

To worship God is to know Him. So, what's He like?

What word strikes terror into the hearts of most men? I would think that word could be, "intimacy." Yet, it is what the human heart longs for. It is what we dole out so sparingly and protect so eagerly.

How do we live every day knowing God could give us our hearts desire .. knowing that He could solve all the world's problems now, yet chooses not to do so? We live: 1. By faith; 2. In submission; 3. Humbly.

We live in a world where we battle for control; in every relationship. We even battle God whether by outright disobedience, or through efforts at manipulation. Even as we battle for control, God, by His grace, allows us to lose that battle with Him. He maintains control, and works in us to break free from that demand for control, so that by grace, we will submit to Him.

We are told over and over again, "don't trust your feelings." We're even reminded that the Christian life is a matter of fact, not feeling. But the Scripture is replete with stories, images, and words designed and intended to make us "feel." So, while feelings should not control, they are part and parcel of the Christian's life, and what it means to be a person made in God's image. God wants you to feel!

If God is a God of compassion, so as His people, we are to be clothed with the grace of compassion. It is in this way we demonsterate grace and are used by God to make an impact. God made Himself helpless for us.

Settle down and build your lives. Pray and work for the prosperity of the community in which you live.

Is there even a slight possibility that you could deceive yourself concerning your eternal destiny? In James 1:22 it says "Be doers of the Word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves." Are you sure you have faith? What does faith involve? Is it simply giving assent to certain intellectual facts? Is it just saying the right words or even feeling sorry for your sin? What exactly does faith involve? Faith involves commitment!

We are all driven or motivated by something. What drives you? As Image of God, we are mirrors of God. We are driven to work, create, make a difference, be known, leave a mark. We are driven for recognition and glory. That is not necessarily "bad." However, this "drivenness" certainly can be distorted.

We've talked about hospitality and mercy. If we are going to co-operate with God in building a church culture which is a delight to Him and an encouragement to other people, we need to share a common vision and sense of purpose.

The Philistines assembled to fight with Israel 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen and people like the sand which is on the seashore. How would you face this problem? What are your choices? Run and hide? Turn to a religious superstition? Or would you turn to God with an imaginative faith?
