On Christ, the Solid Rock I stand.

Do not be conformed to this world, 
but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, 
that by testing
you may discern what is the will of God, 
what is good
and acceptable
and perfect.

Romans 12:2

A friend of mine is getting married in 15 days. 

She posted an account of her journey with her fiance in their Facebook group today. 

Reading it moved me to tears. 

All you people who write meaningful long posts, don't stop writing.

All you people who write Facebook statuses questioning contemporary beliefs and restating true faith in our Lord, don't stop writing. 

You remind us that we don't belong here. You remind us that we don't have to conform, that we can be transformed. 

No matter how bad things are here, the best is yet to come.

No matter how great things are here, the best is yet to come.

There are many ways to tell a story. How you tell it shows what's inside you. 

I was encouraged to see inside Marianne today. 

Reminded me to re-examine my marriage every day, to make sure it's founded on solid ground - my Lord Jesus Himself. 

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name. 
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand; 
All other ground is sinking sand, 
All other ground is sinking sand.
