The technologically ambitious Ford, which introduces several technologies to frontline service, is already at least two years behind schedule.

A Springtime Mystery

by Katherine Britton

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
Romans 1:20

I'm a Hypocrite

by John UpChurch

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.” Matthew 6:5

The college-me would call the current-me a hypocrite. That’s what I did back then. Anyone claiming to be a Christian automatically earned that prestigious title. I could judge, after all, because I sat in my lofty seat in the college library and weighed such grave matters in my head and in my poetry. My pencil could strike down any Christ-follower with a witty rhyme. I knew they were all fake.

I Want to Be Pursued

Sharon Jaynes

“But the LORD God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’” Genesis 3:9 (NIV)

The first time I eyed him, he was sitting on the floor at a friend’s Bible study with his back against the wall, dressed in scruffy jeans and a red flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled halfway up his muscular forearms. His thick brown hair and chocolate-brown eyes left me weak in the knees. And the best part was that this handsome man (whom I eventually married) had a tattered Bible in his lap. I was smitten from the first time I laid eyes on Steve.

Lavished

By Touching Lives

“In Christ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us.” Ephesians 1:7-8a

Have you taken the time lately to ponder the amazing truth of redemption? Whether you have been following Christ for 30 years or 30 minutes it is equally awe-inspiring, humbling and miraculous – God has forgiven you. And, if you have never placed your faith in Christ’s death and resurrection on your behalf…if you have never acknowledged the fact that you are a sinner and He is the only Savior, I beg you to do so now. In Christ we have redemption!
