The Bible talks about resurrection from beginning to end. It is described or discussed in many passages, and hidden by metaphor and allegory in many more. But how much do you really know about what the Bible says on this important topic?
I will send out my last article in a series on death and the afterlife on Tuesday morning! "Resurrection and Eternal Life". Be sure to subscribe before then.

When I got married 26 years ago, there was a lot I never expected to experience in life.
I never expected to have kids [I didn't want them due to severe abuse and I wasn't supposed to be able to have them].
I never expected to be a stay-at-home mom, who would become a homeschooling mom [I was too stupid to homeschool].
I never expected I would need to turn to essential oils because my body/gut couldn't handle swallowing meds.
I never expected to bake my own bread, and I especially didn't expect to mill my own grain! But on my path the wholeness, and a happy, healthy, godly life... I found these things. They were unexpected, and have been a true blessing.
Milling my grain is a process, but the benefits are incredible! 1) I get to see joy in my family's eyes when it's baking and when they slice it up to eat. 2) The amount of nutrition compared to the best, most expensive store bought versions of bread are far superior [truly the bread of life]. 3) Because you have all of the grain intact, no stomach issues for me like with store bought bread.
I now make all my breads, pancake, waffles, pastries and anything else needing flour with home-milled grain! They are amazing!
If you can, I highly recommend it. It is a learning curve, but one well worth pursuing!
What is something you've done, but never expected to, for the welfare of your family?
By the way... the bread was amazing! ?
Happy baking!
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob always lived as strangers in their own land. That's actually a good thing. Assimilation into the local, Canaanite culture would have been a disaster. God wants us to be separate from the world, but separateness isn't the point. Service, justice, obedience, and the Gospel: these are the point.

Even the godliest of those among HIS children suffer through difficult and trying times every now and then. Are you someone these brothers and sisters can sit down with, cry with, pray with, reveal the deep places of their hearts with, without believing any worse about the one before you who's in pain?
Or are you a person who may, on the inside, thrive on the suffering of others, perhaps because it makes you feel as if you're better than they are? But, as soon as they are out of your sight, you run and tell everyone you come in contact with about the turmoil your brother or sister is walking through making their private pain, public knowledge to whoever will listen?
No need to answer here. You need to present your answer to Yahweh/GOD. After all, one day we all will.

There must be those among us with whom we can sit down and weep and still be counted as warriors...
