1/20/11 My breath prayer for today comes from I Cor. 1:18, "For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." We United Methodists have a good word in our theological vocabulary; that word is sanctification. It means we are being made holy our whole lives long. John Wesley said it thus, "We are going onto perfection." I like what Paul says in his letter to the church in Corinth, that we are being saved. It is not just about being baptized, or making a profession of faith, but it is about a life where the power of the cross is ever being realized. We are being saved.
Love,
Lynn
