Day Seven Hundred and Sixty-Six

The Red Letters


Bible studies make some of the best nights.
We look forward to Wednesdays every week. It's a time we get to sit around the dinner table with some of our best friends and eat together. Pray together. Grow together. Laugh together. And learn more about the character and love of God together. It's such a blessing to Adam and I - something we miss dearly every time we have to say "see ya in 6 months." This photo might be plain. But there's nothing plain or simple about the unconditional love and freedom poured out in these pages. And we find every ounce of joy reflecting on that Truth - the Truth of Jesus - with our friends.

"The sins that should have brought condemnation on us, God laid on Jesus. God's love planned an amazing exchange: Jesus endured what we deserved so that we might enjoy what he deserved - eternal life. And the way we come to enjoy this life is by believing in Jesus. That's what he said: 'Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life' (John 6:47)."
-John Piper, What Jesus Demands from the World
