This week’s video was about Easy On Me, but what else can we pull from it? If we look just at the chorus we see repentance and a plea for forgiveness. Go easy on me, baby I was still a child Didn't get the chance to Feel the world around me I had no time to choose what I chose to do So go easy on me This is far from a Christian example but there are elements in here that I think we can connect with. We have all sinned & know there are consequences for our actions. In particular – that our sins deserve eternal damnation . Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death When you know punishment is deserved you do not ask for it to be completely removed but rather that it be lightened; that the other person would go easy on you. In many cases on earth another human will not listen to this request, especially when given such a large number of excuses. But from The Heavenly Father no excuse is necessar...

Romans 5:6-11 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. This is the foundation for the song Two Wonders by Worldview . You can see it directly in the bridge: For Scarcely For A Righteous Man Will One Die Yet Perhaps For A Good Man Some Would Even Dare To Die. But God Commends His Love Toward Us, In That, While We Were Yet Sinners, Christ Died For Us. This is something...

In this week’s video we talked about God transcending time. Here are the opening lines from House of the Lord. We worship the God who was We worship the God who is We worship the God who evermore will be In the video I tied this into Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. The idea of being able to be in the world without time is impossible to understand. Time is essential to everything we do and understand. Sure, we can play with various ideas of time travel but going back and forth in time still means you are in a time. How far do you have to look to find someone asking for more time? Maybe, more time on an assignment or more time to be with family. How often do we hear, “If I only had more time”? God understands this struggle and is here to help. Ephesians 5:15-17 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the w...
