Your Word is life

Be Word based, not world based.

Hope in God. Strain towards ahead

Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV) - Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Though you have been shaped by your past, something else can shape your future. The apostle Paul’s past was one of murder, yet he did not see that as a hindrance to his calling. If anything, Paul’s life is evidence that God can use anyone. So don’t let your past mistakes hinder you from pressing forward. The heavenward call in Christ Jesus calls you to let go of what is behind to embrace what is in front of you.

Located on the the eastern bank of the River Jordan, this Christian place of pilgrimage is believed to be where Jesus was baptised.

The site features Roman and Byzantine remains, including churches and chapels, a monastery, caves that have been used by hermits as well as pools where baptisms were held.

Live wisely

“Wake up, sleeper,

rise from the dead,

and Christ will shine on you.”

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

Eph 5:14-17
