And of that, I am most confident. Jesus lives, His Word says so! Though others may dismiss it as foolishness, I am convinced because I have been given faith in the waters of Holy Baptism.

Arguments against the resurrection have no sway. "His body was stolen," you may argue. "By whom?" I ask. Certainly not the apostles, or there would be no new testament; any act against the seal of Pilate on the grave would have been met with swift action by the Romans--a crime against Caesar. And what would His enemies have to gain by stealing the body from the grave? Nothing! He must have risen, as He said He would. And as His Word delcares this to be truth, by grace, I believe it.

And as I have been Baptized into His death, likewise have I been Baptized into His resurrection. Jesus has died my death that I may live His life--eternal life. By the shedding of His blood, I have the forgiveness of sins; not the assurance of it, but the certain promise and reality--my sins are indeed forgiven. And as proof, my God has raised this Jesus from the dead.

Though I sin against Him, He still deigns to call me brother. Though I in sin deny His Father, He still deigns to call me a son and co-heir with Christ. Such is the grace of God, YHWH! All because Jesus lives.

Therefore, what fear should I have of death. Should Jesus not return in my lifetime and my life on earth end, it is but a means to enter into His kingdom. There, I shall live with my Lord. All because Jesus lives!

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed, alleluia!

I can't get to my page

I can get to pages in directories below my page, like Wags the Journal and Skin Mobile, but I can't get to my page.

I can post entries to my blog, but I can't get to my page.

What gives?

I've added the two latest sermons I've preached as well as several new photos of Robert. Select the appropriate section from the menu above or to the left to view.

Now, I'm not much of a basketball fan, but this was sure nice to see:

Now, onto the National Championship...it sure would be nice to celebrate one, but I'll take the SEC none-the-less.

Fink. Rat Face. Ferret Face.

Anyone who has watched enough M*A*S*H knows that these are the nicknames that the Swamp buddies used of Frank Burns. In the television series, especially, he had such a face.

Well, he's not the only one with a rat face. Better yet, this man really lives up to this nickname-sake.
