Cause for Joy

Michael Lawrence, Associate Pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, began this past Sunday a series in the book of Philippians. The first sermon, Cause for Joy (Phil 1:1-11), is excellent. I hope to hold this nugget closely over the next few days and weeks:

Put your confidence in God and bring your failures, bring your sins, to the cross. For friends, what is the cross if it's not the proof that not even your sins can fustrate God's plans. If He has begun a good work in you, He will complete it.

The cross is proof that our sins and failures have no 'say so' before an omnipotent and loving God pledged to save us and conform us to His Son.
