A Question...

Can anyone tell me what makes any of us "worth" saving? Is it how "good" or "nice" or "loving" or "tender" or "moral" or "agreeable" we are?

There's only one thing that makes any of us worth saving. We were made by God, in His image, and for His glory. Our utter worthlessness without Him reveals the glory of His grace more fully by contrast. Don't you think?

David Wilkerson said that a jeweler who wants to display a beautiful diamond does so by setting it in a bed of the blackest velvet--it's brilliance shines all the brighter because of the blackness of the background. We - our hearts, our flesh, our stubbornness, our pride, and our idolatry - are the blackness, and God's glory is the radiant diamond! :)

Not because we are good , or nice ,or loving , moral, or agreeable , but for the express purpose to declare HIS GLORY among the people(s) , to declare HIS LOVE for sinners(Jn.3:16):NOTHING in my hands I bring simply to Thy cross I cling as Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners , of whom I am cheif . THOU ART WORTY , THOU ART WORTY , THOU ART WORTY OH LORD . TO RECEIVE GLORY , HONOUR AND POWER , THOU ART WORTY ,OH LORD . FOR THOU HAST CREATED , HAST ALL THINGS CREATED , THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS . AND FOR THY PLEASURE THEY WERE CREATED , THOU ART WORTY ,OH LORD!

Painted Patio Wall Transformation - Our New "Secret Garden"

Michael and I have discovered a Secret Garden every where we have lived since getting married in 2010.  Whether it was the creek that ran behind our first apartment in Sacramento or the tiny little space of our 520 square foot, 1962 single-wide, mobile home in Rancho Cordova, California, we were always able to discover and create a unique sanctuary to call home.  Even though, in years past, we did what we could to make our surroundings uniquely wonderful, we never had the room to go really crazy until now. Since moving to our new home in North Carolina in May, we have not only discovered a world of exotic creatures and plants outdoors, but we have also started taking full advantage of the additional space we now have available to add our own touch of whimsy to the new "Wood's Secret Garden". Our first major project was the Patio which joins the in-law quarters (where mom lives) to the kitchen entrance into the main house.  We have received so many questions abou...

Just having a little, good, clean fun!

This year, for my Birthday, my husband bought me something I have wanted for years--a Power Washer.  From the very first time I used one to help a girlfriend get her mom's house ready to sell, I have wanted one for my very own.  There is something so therapeutic about seeing dirty siding, fences, bricks and cement go from yuck to clean. Over the past month, I have power washed everything I could find: the patio, the fence, the siding on the shop, several dirty shutters; and, even the garbage cans.  I was putting off tackling the biggest project (the driveway) until I had a full day to work on it. Well, this opened up a whole new world for me.  When I realized how long it would take (we have a very long and very dirty driveway) I decided to turn it into an art project.  I realized that I could do word art in one tenth the time that it would take to power wash the entire driveway and it would allow me to leave most of the dirty part dirty.  As pleased as ...

Are you a “Marrow Man” or a “Neonomian"?

The Marrow Controversy— Do you know anything about the Marrow Controversy? If you were raised in a "Fundamental" church or perhaps a "Reformed" church where you saw little joy, yet a great deal of head knowledge; perhaps you will see the parallel between your experience and observations and what was going on in the Church in 1717 in Scotland. This is just one of thousands of examples of why knowing Church history can help guard against getting sucked into error and heresy. As you read this brief outline, think about your own attitudes and your own past experiences. You may be surprised how much you have been influenced by error which is veiled in pseudo piety. 1717 and 1722: Controversy in the Church of Scotland (reformed & Presbyterian church) 1717 Presbytery of Auchterarder—William Craig ordination trials. He would not affirm this statement, known as the Auchterarder Creed: “It is not sound and orthodox to teach that we must forsake sin in order to o...
