Happy New Year! The day we all get to begin again – again!

From turning the page on the calendar to closing the books on the year now passing, this is a time of beginning again.

If anyone is in Christ, there is the eternal offer to begin again: The offer of a clean slate, a fresh start, forgiveness, renewal.

If I want to begin again, then I have to put to death sinful ways. If I am going to call others to be reconciled to God then I first must be reconciled to God myself and that only happens by putting to death the former things – that in Christ I may become, by God’s grace, a new creation.

I invite you today to begin again, again.Confess your sins and allow God to wipe the slate of your life clean. Be reconciled to God and begin again this year with Him!
