We’re enjoying a nice dusting of snow here today.
We probably have an inch or snow, but there has been lots of sleet on top of the snow.
It’s very icy! We’re staying inside where it’s warm!
Sanctification
1 Thessalonians 5:23, “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Things God is Currently Using in my Life to Make Me Sanctified
1) My husband. A gracious gift from God, my husband is used by God in my life each day to aid in my sanctification. I am so thankful for his love and his patience! He is an example of Christ’s love towards me.
2) My pregnancy. The last few months have been challenging, with morning–err–all day sickness. The Lord has used this time to draw me closer to Him and to help prepare me spiritually for being a parent.
3) Being a pastor’s wife. This is an area that God has been using and I know will continue to use in my life to make me more like Him. I am still learning what this role means, and what it means to truly be a support and a help to my husband as he pastors the youth of the church.
There are many more, but those are the three I decided to share publicly.
What is God using in your life right now to “sanctify you completely”?
Fight Abortion through Adoption
One of the best ways to help prevent abortions is to adopt, or to support Christian adoption centers. Doing this is an instant way to change individual lives, and David E. Prince argues that it is “true religion” according to James. He wrote a very nice sermon/article on the Manliness of Adoption, discussing the great need for men of faith to rise up and take leadership on this issue.
Also, while at Liberty, I had the privilege of supporting the Liberty Godparent Home which offers a place for unwed mothers to live while pregnant and discovers Christian families who are willing to adopt their babies if they choose to give them up for adoption.
Clearly as Christians who have been adopted by God the Father, we can understand the plight of the orphaned. We were orphaned in a spiritual sense, without a true identity, and without an inheritance, but we have been given so much more. Adoption is one way that we can reflect the truths of the Gospel and demonstrate them to the world around us.
