#Victorious

…overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.  And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.                                                  Romans 8:37b-38.

One area that God has called me to proclaim in conjunction with the Gospel is our identity in the Lord Jesus.  As Patrice and I minister to this new crop of students as well as staff, there is an overwhelming struggle for us to believe in the truth that God has made us to be in Christ Jesus.  While battling sin is admirable, even that can take us away from understanding how to live out the truth in Christ.  We need to know and believe that He has already won the battle so we can sprint on to the next work that He has for us to do.  There is a battle to believe that we have worth and value. Thank you for fighting alongside us to allow students, faculty and staff to believe in their true worth, which affects their career choices, relationship and family choices, and  what they will live their lives for.
