thankful this resurrection day.

A few reasons why I am thankful today consist of the following:

1. I serve a Risen Savior who is alive and who has conquered death, hell, Satan, and sin—my sin.

2. God gave me the strength and boldness to go street-preaching in downtown Santa Monica last night with a friend.

3. I baptized two men in our college group today who testified boldly, clearly, and persuasively the power of the gospel that penetrates the hearts of sinners. God used the power of the preaching of His Word to save these two men.

4. I get to preach Amos 5 and Psalm 101 this upcoming week.

My heart is fully of joy.
