We end our current leg of the journey through Romans with Scripture that has a simple message with profound implications for us. Nothing. Can. Separate. God’s. Kids. From. His. Love. Nothing.

Michael Amman

We are adopted. totally. Accepted. Totally. Loved. Totally. By our Good Dad in heaven. We experience the power of being adopted by God and given His Spirit, His Breath, to breathe life into our deadness.

Michael Amman

We reflect on who the Holy Spirit is and how the breath of God breathes life where there was once nothing but death and decay…

Michael Amman

Even an Apostle can relate to a monster…we reflect on a difficult section of Paul’s journey.

Michael Amman

We look into the new slavery, the kind where obedience leads to life and peace. Our yielding to God yields life as it was meant to be lived…

Michael Amman

We go back to the beginning for a story being played out in every life and relationship ever since. The first Adam points toward the second, Jesus, and in Him we see a curse reversed, sons and daughters of God restored. We see how big the gift is in light of the big curse.

Michael Amman

While we were the worst version of ourselves, Jesus rescued us at the right time. The next leg of our journey through Romans begins, and we see how hope springs in the lives of people standing in grace.

Michael Amman

It runs out all of our efforts will get us no where…what we need, deep in our bones, is to jump into the story God is telling in us and in the world. We reflect on what it means to have faith, and the story of a guy as good as dead who had the guts to believe God. God calls life out of death and something out of our nothing.

Michael Amman

The wind changes direction. The tide of the battle for our hearts is turning. God does not leave us in the back-alleys we create for ourselves, and Paul does not abandon us to despair…dawn begins to break in the letter to the Romans.

Michael Amman

We continue to travel down the dark corners of the human condition, where Paul is doing his best to expose on of the most difficult evils to root out: religious hypocrisy. God aims for our hearts…
