In all things

Exploring life, faith, and connections to the world beyond religion

 

About The Blog

At the dawn of the Christian church, the Apostle Paul wrote, "The Son is before all things, and in him all things hold together" (Colossians 1:17). In these pages, we will explore a variety of topics, but in all things will reflect on how it is Jesus Christ who is at the center of all creation and holds all things together by his power.

A Psalm of Peter: A Living Hope



Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!


By his great mercy he gave us

new birth into a living hope

through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

that is, into an inheritance

imperishable, undefiled, and unfading.


This inheritance

is reserved in heaven for you, 

who by God’s power are protected

through faith

for a salvation ready to be revealed

in the last time.


You have not seen him, but you love him.

You do not see him now

but you believe in him,

and so you rejoice

with an indescribable and glorious joy, 

because you are attaining

the goal of your faith—

the salvation of your souls.


(1 Peter 1:3-5, 8-9 NET Bible)
