How could I ever thank you enough? I am truly grateful for the gifted writers in this blogging community. Your words have stirred my faith, lifted my spirit and encouraged my soul in Christ. Whenever I am able to pause and read your work, I am filled to the brim! May God bless you and use you mightily! Though it is impossible to include every writer who has touched my life over the past few weeks, below I offer just a few. I pray other readers are blessed by these powerful posts.

Chip Mattis reminds us that Jesus is For Losers as he points out that Jesus is not recruiting the self-reliant successful winners, but those who acknowledge their sinful needy position and cry out for a Savior.
