In God S Custody

This is the unadulterated true life story of how God brought me from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly with all the messy stages in between! Through many trials and tribulations, my life is being shaped into the person God intends me to be. The Bible says in Ephesians 5:8-10, 20 (KJV), "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of the light: For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth: Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name our Lord Jesus Christ." The author wants to thank all her family and friends, for it is not our beginning that determines our ending, but it is our repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ and His blood covenant that restores our relationships and saves our lives. Nothing but the blood of Jesus! Which cross is your cross? We all must choose one, no matter what. Jesus has the middle. The cross on the right is salvation, and the one on the left is for unbelievers.

Christ comes to, and through, his people Many consider pastoral visitation antiquated and impractical. People seem busier than ever, and technology appears to trivialize personal contact. As a result, personal visits are often reserved only for the gravest of situations. Tyler C. Arnold argues that pastoral visitation is essential to the pastoral role. In Scripture, God visits his people to show his personal interest and concern. This is seen most clearly in the incarnation. Christ's ministry is one of presence. But Jesus is not only an example of visitation ministry; he is the embodiment of it. And in visitation, pastors and laypeople continue Jesus's ministry by bringing Christ to the individual in their very place of need. Established in strong theological foundations and sensitive to contemporary concerns, Pastoral Visitation exhorts pastors to return to this classic method of individual soul-care.
