Drop a Sacrifice of Praise in the Comment Section

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;
   I will praise your name, O LORD,
   for it is good.
Psalm 54:6

OK, here's the deal. I am not going to suggest you kill a dove, goat or a bull. Neither will I challenge you to set apart an hour of your day to read the word and pray. 

I will encourage you to take a moment and thank God for something in your life that he has done recently. Write it in your journal, text it to a friend, or put it on your calendar. Maybe post it in the comment section below. 

Thanks be to God because he is good!

IS GUILT STOPPING YOU?

"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance - now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant." Hebrews 9:15

Imagine that every time you sinned you had to go down to the temple with an offering. You had to or your guilt would remain. Think about it. The offering would remove the outward debt of the sin but never truly dealing with your conscience. 

In I John 1:9 we are reminded, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." The guilt, from the inner man out, is dealt with and removed. A great part of the new covenant is that God gives us a new heart. He renews our inner being in Christ. Our conscience is clean to live by faith in the love of Christ.

I guess the question is what guilt is stopping you? That is what Jesus died for. Take it to him. 

Thank you. Jesus, for dying, once and for all...Praise be to you in us today!
