To experience death, yes. But to put up with the long roads, the long days? Why did he do it? Because he wants you to trust him. Even his final act on earth was […] The post The Message from the Cross appeared first on Silent Stones .

The character of Jesus was a seamless fabric woven from […] The post Clothed in Righteousness appeared first on Silent Stones .

You’d never know they’re sisters. They appear so different. Pride puffs out her chest. Shame hangs her head. Pride boasts. Shame hides. Pride seeks to be seen. Shame seeks to be avoided. But don’t be fooled, the emotions have the same parentage. And the emotions have the same impact: they keep you from your Father.

Neither have I. Come with me to the hill of Calvary. Watch as soldiers shove […] The post He Canceled the Record appeared first on Silent Stones .

Step into the briar patch of humanity and feel a few thistles. Shame. Fear. Disgrace. Discouragement. Anxiety. Haven’t our hearts been caught in these brambles? The heart of Jesus, however, had not. He had never been cut by the thorns of sin. Anxiety? He never worried. Guilt? He […] The post The Fruit of Sin appeared first on Silent Stones .

No. How about one hour, can you do it? No. Nor can I. And if we can’t live without sin we have a problem. Proverbs 10:16 says we’re evil and “evil people are paid with punishment.” What can we do? Observe what Jesus does with our […] The post The Sin Problem appeared first on Silent Stones .

He didn’t have to give us these gifts, you know. The only required act for our salvation […] The post Unwrapping the Gifts of Grace appeared first on Silent Stones .

He swung and missed the ball. Swung and whiffed again. Tried a third time, missed again. In […] The post The Matter of the Heart appeared first on Silent Stones .
