Jesus Is the Life

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." — John 14:6 

When Pilate asked "What is truth?" Jesus had a ready answer.

Jesus assures us that He is the way to eternal life.

He is also God and therefore the ultimate truth.

And He is life everlasting.

Our living water.

He refills and refreshes us when we are parched and dry.

No one comes to God the Father except through Jesus, His Son.

Grace and Truth Through Jesus

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. — John 1:17

God gave us the law to point out how far we have fallen away from Him.

He sent us Jesus to redeem us and save us from sin.

Grace comes through Jesus.

And Jesus is the way and the truth.

Today is Kirk's birthday!

We will be celebrating all he has done for us and for our family.

Kyle sent him an Iowa state flag, and it is now flying from our flagpole. 

Here he is on the Torrey Pines golf course.

We are blessed.

 

 

All Things Made New

 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. — John 1:3

God created the world and everything in it.

Jesus was with God from the beginning.

He also created.

Through Him all things were made.

Without Him, we would have nothing.

Nothing would have been created.

These beautiful flowers were arranged by my friend LaVonne.

Today is World Cancer Day, designed to bring awareness and inspire action for a cancer-free future. 

We know we are living in a sinful world.

But with Jesus, we have everything we need!

Christ's Ambassadors

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.  — 2 Corinthians 5:20
 
Today is July 4, the birthday of our country.

It is also the 20th birthday of my company.

Axos Bank was founded in the year 2000 on July 4 as BofI Federal Bank.

This year we will be celebrating without the fireworks and crowds.

Usually we meet friends down at the harbor for the fireworks display.

It will be quite a bit different this year with COVID-19.

Perhaps we will watch some of the televised celebrations from the White House.

The music is one of my favorite parts, of course.

Last year, my friend Peggy made this beautiful Poke Cake for memorial day.

This year we watched an excellent Memorial Day tribute on PBS.

It was very moving, and honored some of our veterans as well as those who gave their all for our country.

We are therefore Christ's ambassadors.

Happy Independence Day!
