What does the cross mean to you? Is it just a religious symbol or is it a meaningful part of your life every day?
This is the theme for the 38th year of Horizons, beginning today on the FHU campus. It is definitely a Biblical theme, as we come to the Lord for our broken hearts, souls, and lives to be mended. Only He can provide our every need, and He does.
When our lives fall apart, we make poor choices, and we don’t know how we can move forward; it is the compassion of God that gives us great opportunities.
A Godly father is a tremendous blessing for any family. The depth of feelings developed between a father and his family is wonderful to see. When we study the compassionate feelings that our God and Father has for us, it should be overwhelming to us.
It is the highest honor to be a Father, but also the highest responsibility. Blessed is the Father, and his children, who lives by the wisdom of this psalm.
God’s compassion is seen most vividly in the Parable of the Lost Boy of Luke 15:11-24. That demonstration of the father’s compassion for his son who was lost, but now found, has echoed through the ages with John Newton’s song, “Amazing Grace.”
There are those among us who have experienced the gift of years, and most importantly have lived those years in faithfulness to the Lord. They are our senior members. When seniors speak about life and service to the Lord, it is a blessing to listen and learn.
