Pursue Purity
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:3-6 NIV

Weekly Meditation
Good and Upright Is the LORD
GOD is fair and just;
He corrects the misdirected,
Sends them in the right direction.
He gives the rejects his hand,
And leads them step-by-step.
From now on every road you travel
Will take you to GOD.
Follow the Covenant signs;
Read the charted directions.
Keep up your reputation, GOD;
Forgive my bad life;
It's been a very bad life.
My question: What are God--worshipers like?
Your answer: Arrows aimed at God's bull's-eye.
They settle down in a promising place;
Their kids inherit a prosperous farm.
God--friendship is for God--worshipers;
They are the ones he confides in.
Psalm 25:8-14 The Message
