“7 Words that can Change Your Life” — Available now through Xulon Press, Amazon, Barnes & Noble.
We all desire what is good and right, but our differing definitions, opinions, and identities are coming up short and often at odds. Awareness of our limits, flaws, and brokenness is inescapable, and great ambitions often prove meaningless. How can I be all I can be, and realize my purpose? Like a cut off withering branch grafted back into the tree, being reconciled to the Source is life-transforming and guarantees the success for which I was designed.

The Problem: Righteousness - Humanity cannot define nor achieve what is needed.
The Basis: Propitiation - A good and holy God must oppose evil. He has dealt with our sin.
The Cost: Redemption - Bought back and set free at an enormous price.
The Means: Imputation - How the action of one is experienced by the many.
The Declaration: Justification - You are who God says you are.
The Outcome: Reconciliation - Return to the One for whom you were designed.
The Change: Regeneration - Radical transformation and realized purpose.
