I Love Fall

…and photography.  Nick is very good at it.  He’s been experimenting with our camera recently.  These are some cool “color captured” pictures.  We went to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum with our friends, Erin, Bobby, and Payton.  Sometimes the best days are spent unplugging, walking around staring into God’s beautiful creation, having great conversations.  On this day, I noticed: it is fall.  I looked back to who I was this summer, and something hit me; I am changing a lot.  Who I was a few months ago has evolved into who I am now.  I will continue to change and grow with each new day of my entire life.  Each new season is evidence that God is ALL about the process of change… seasons don’t just change overnight… they evolve from one to the next, slowly and carefully… sometimes through a lot of storms.  We wouldn’t appreciate the quiet sunshine or a rainbow as much if we didn’t experience the rough of the storm…I love that God is always changing everything… even us.

  • God wants our salvation
    “…whenever our sins press hard against us, whenever Satan would drive us to despair, we must hold up this shield, that God does not want us to be overwhelmed in everlasting destruction, for He has ordained His Son to be the salvation of the world.” - John Calvin, NT Commentary on John p75 (HT: Dan Morse) [...]
  • God’s free love

  • Christ is Everything
    “When you put your trust in Christ, the overpowering attraction of the world is broken. You are a corpse to the world, and the world is a corpse to you. Or to put it positively, you are a ‘new creation’ (Galatians 6:15). The old you is dead. A new you is alive — the you [...]
  • Full pardon
    “Oh! rejoice in the richness of our salvation! When the Lord pardoned our sins, he did not pardon half of them, and leave some of them on the book—but with one stroke of the pen he gave a full receipt for all our debts. When we went down into the fountain filled with blood, and washed, [...]
  • As Broad as Creation
    “The gospel as recorded in Scripture is as broad as creation. Since the church has been sent to make known this good news in all of life, in actions and in words, the church’s mission is, likewise, as broad as creation.” - Mike Goheen and Craig Bartholomew, Living at the Crossroads (Grand Rapids, Mi.; Baker Academic, [...]
  • Forward lies the crown
    “In our Christian pilgrimage it is well, for the most part, to be looking forward. Forward lies the crown—and onward is the goal. Whether it is for hope, for joy, for consolation, or for the inspiring of our love—the future must, after all, be the grand object of the eye of faith. Looking into the future, [...]
  • A dark shadow over the world
    “Christ’s salvation is of such a kind that it expresses the ultimate reality of guilt and exposes it in all its stark actuality. It exposes it in terms of the wrath of God, but at the same time manifests in the midst of it all the infinite and overwhelming love of God, and enacts the [...]
