[Pine Baron]

IMHO, can't mention "Mercy" without "Grace".

"When God in Jesus took the punishment for our sins upon himself, he didn’t give us what we deserve (eternal condemnation and separation from him). What incredible Mercy!

But God didn’t stop there. He continually gives us what we don’t deserve—the next beat of our hearts, the air in our lungs, the food we eat, the clothes on our back, the privilege of living on his earth, our different friends and family members, experiencing the beauty of his creation, etc. Plus, he gave us the precious, invaluable gift of eternal life—an eternal relationship with his Son, Jesus—something we don’t deserve. What amazing Grace!" - David Chadwick

[castalott]

Mercy and Grace...... What a Loving duo.....

Dear Lord.... Today we ask for Mercy and Grace............ Although we err and stray from the Word-Please give us these Wonderful Things... Amen

I do not at all understand the mystery of grace - only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us. Anne Lamott

[castalott]

[augercreek]

So many are devastated by the weather this year, loss of home, crops and land flooded, fires, tornados and what else! They all need us to pray on them daily! Lord be with them and bring them the help they need.

Those of you that can, please do what you can to help. Either physically or by donations.

[Pine Baron]

A notice from Franklin Graham, on Facebook, I would like to share:

"Along with 250+ Christian leaders, I am asking followers of Christ across our nation to set aside next Sunday, June 2, as a special day of prayer for the President, Donald J. Trump.

President Trump’s enemies continue to try everything to destroy him, his family, and the presidency. In the history of our country, no president has been attacked as he has. I believe the only hope for him, and this nation, is God.

This is a critical time for America. We’re on the edge of a precipice. Time is short. We need to pray for God to intervene. We need to ask God to protect, strengthen, encourage, and guide the President.

We know that God hears and answers prayer. He can soften hearts and change minds. He is all-powerful, and He rules over the affairs of nations. The Bible instructs us to pray for those in authority, “that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior” (1 Timothy 2:2–3).

On June 2, we ask that pastors would lead their congregations in praying for the President, that Sunday schools and other groups would join together and pray, and that individuals and families across the country would have a special focus on praying for the President that day.

Would you let me know in the comments below if you commit to pray with us? And will you share this on your social media platforms so that we can have as many people as possible praying?

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12)."

I'll be praying.
