He is risen!

He is risen indeed!

My Quiet Place

Then Jesus said, "Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile." 

Mark 6:31 KJV Cambridge ed.

Reminder of God

Iglesia Sagrado Corazon, Vinales, Cuba

The Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, Vinales, Cuba

We saw the 1700's cathedral in Havana, but it was this little church in a farming village in Western Cuba that impressed me the most and really pointed me to God or reminded me of His presence in our busy travels by the many sights. It was also the only one I felt comfortable going inside and photographing. Except for the statue if could be a Baptist Church. It was a brief moment of inspiration and a reminder that architecture can remind us of God. 

Only by His Grace

In Sunday school this morning we talked about justification by faith and how none of us are ever good enough to live by the law but must depend on God's Grace and Him making us righteous through the perfection of Jesus. Tonight I watched the History Channel Bible series and was reminded of this as we saw Saul let his power go to his head and lose his dependence on God and then again with David, "a man after God's own heart" doing the same thing again as he sinned with Bathsheba. It is just our human nature to be selfish and to disobey God. I am justified only by His Grace!
