Today’s reading is Ephesians 2
“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith.” Does it take work to have Faith? Is Faith revealed in decisions. Can we create more faith for ourselves or is it given to us by God as we ask and need it? Only you know where you truly put your faith. Is it in yourself or God? Please pray that we and our friends appreciate the grace given to us and make decisions based on the promises of the Word and not our emotions. Please pray for Carla Miles as she is in need of a car.
