If you could keep Kerryanne and me in your prayers we’d appreciate it.  I still don’t know what I’m doing employment wise but am trusting that the right doors will open in God’s timing.

What does this mean for UnashamedSermons.com?  Well, I’m still planning on maintaining and keep this site running.  Of course after March 30th, the frequency of new sermon postings to the site will diminish dramatically, but depending on where I’m at I hope to continue posting new illustrations/articles as time permits.

I thought I’d give a couple links to Easter Resources on the site to save time on searching for those of you coming here for that reason:

“Carry the Wood“? a Good Friday message I shared a few years ago with a powerful object lesson.? I refer to the object lesson in this article (found near the end of the article).

The Christians are distinguished from other men neither by country, nor language, nor the customs which they observe…They dwell in their own countries, but simply as sojourners. AS citizens, they share in all things with others, and yet endure all things as if foreigners. Every foreign land is to them as their native country, and every land of their birth as a land of strangers. They marry, as do all [others]; they beget children; but they do not destroy their offspring.?

They have a common table, but not a common bed. They are in the flesh, but they do not live after the flesh. They pass their days on earth, but they are citizens of heaven. They obey the prescribed laws, and at the same time surpass the laws by their lives. They love all men, and are persecuted by all. They are unknown and condemned; they are put to death, and restored to life. They are poor, yet make many rich; they are in lack of all things, and yet abound in all; they are dishonored, and yet in their very dishonor are glorified. They are evil spoken of, and yet are justified; they are reviled, and bless; they are insulted, and repay the insult with honor; they do good, yet are punished as evildoers.

When punished, they rejoice as if quickened into life; they are assailed by the Jews as foreigners, and are persecuted by the Greeks; yet those who hate them are unable to assign any reason for their hatred.

To sum up all in one word – what the soul is in the body, [so] are Christians in the world. The soul is dispersed through all the members of the body, and Christians are scattered through all the cities of the world. The soul dwells in the body, yet is not of the body; and Christians dwell in the world, yet are not of the world.
