We often forget.  We see throughout history the Israelites and the church forgetting. We need to be reminded often of who God is in Scripture, church history and in our lives and churches. This is a new feature on the blog on the names of God.  Why?  Because these names are not just what God does, it is who He is.  I hope this will encourage you as you are reminded of how good, great, and awesome our God is. Savior   Savior means one who saves.  It can also be translated deliverer.  11  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. (Luke 2:11) 14  And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

Things are still moving forward and we hope for all payments and paperwork to be signed by this weekend. Praise God! However, God continues to provide in amazing and unexpected ways. I received a gift today in the amount of our monthly rent. The individuals felt "convicted" (their word) to provide this gift to our family. I was blown away.
