Romans 10:8 - 15

NOTE today Tammy is having serious surgery. She was determined to remain faithful to her responsibility of providing the Breads this week, regardless. She's quite a woman and an exemplary Christian model for all of us. Please take a moment and lift Tammy, her husband, Max, and the medical team attending her in prayer. I know she and Max would appreciate our post-surger prayers as well….

Romans 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"[a] that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."[b] 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."[c] 14How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"[d]

John 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for sending people into our lives to share who You are with us and what it means to accept Your calling on our lives. Thank You for giving us eternal life with You. Lord, give us the desire to learn more about who You are and how to live our lives for You. Search our hearts and take out any hardness that we may have and create in us a heart of love. Help us to spend more time with You in prayer. Keep us still and quiet so we can hear You and feel You. Help us to see You in all things. Help us to be a light for You each and every day. We want more of You Lord. We want a deeper relationship with You. Help us to be more like You. Guide us into the lives of others to share Your Word and Your love with the lost. Let us share the Gospel without adding anything to it. We ask all these things in Your Holy Name Jesus…amen.

Max and Tammy
