Thought for the Week
[Righteousness] will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification (Romans 4:23-25, ESV).
Like Abraham, when you believe in Christ, God declares you righteous. That’s because Jesus died for your sins. He paid the price you owed for your sins, and God raised Him from the dead to prove to you that He had accepted Christ’s payment on your behalf.
Dane Ortlund, in his book Defiant Grace, says, “Christianity is the unreligion. It turns all our religious instincts on their heads…
The ancient Greeks told us to be moderate by knowing our inclinations.
The Romans told us to be strong by ordering our lives.
Buddhism tells us to be disillusioned by annihilating our consciousness.
Hinduism tells us to be absorbed by merging our souls.
Islam tells us to be submissive by subjecting our wills.
Agnosticism tells us to be at peace by ignoring our doubts.
Moralism tells us to be good by discharging our obligations.
Only the gospel tells us to be free by acknowledging our failure.
Christianity is the unreligion because it is the one faith whose founder tells us to bring not our doing, but our need” (Dane Ortlund, Defiant Grace, EP Books, 2011, p. 38).
Dear friends, don’t bring your doing to God. Just bring your need.

News!
Celebrate Recovery, 6:30 p.m., every Monday at Kings Cross Church (former Presbyterian Church on 221 South Pioneer Street, Lyons, KS). Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find freedom from your hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Celebrate Recovery is for EVERYONE! No one should have to face their pain alone. We are a grace-filled community of strugglers who courageously enter this safe and beautiful space to get honest about our pain and the negative ways we may see ourselves, God, and others. In this process, we come to accept that some of the habits we have developed to escape our pain may have hurt us and those close to us. It is a biblically based approach to help us achieve long lasting recovery by healing our hurts, guiding us toward new healthy truths, and developing life-giving habits.
Men of Faith meets at 6:45 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. every Tuesday morning in the lobby at Faith Bible Church. "As iron sharpens iron," men are invited to sharpen one another in the middle of each week before work during a time of mutual encouragement, Bible study, and prayer (coffee provided).
Men's Breakfast, 8 a.m., Saturday, June 6, at Faith Bible Church. Men, join us for some good food and fellowship at our next Men’s Breakfast in the fellowship hall.
