Paul writes in Romans 7:18 that "nothing good dwells in me"(NASB) but Ephesians 2 speaks about the good we are to do, that God prepared beforehand. What gives? How is anyone
to do good if there is nothing good in us?

Good question!

Jesus is our good, period. Apart from him we can do nothing. In fact, it is Christ in us the hope of glory! God has sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him (1John 4:9).

It is not enough to profess Christ, we must possess Christ!

I am amazed at life, when it begins, the author of such life and the fragility of it. Oh, my! Who can look around and not see design, order, method and consistency of a Master builder? It is the fool!

The picture is of my son, ten weeks from delivery in a pike breech position in my wife's womb. Who put him there? What intent is behind his life? What purpose? He provokes the thought - When did life begin?

We read clearly in Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God..." That is when life began. Not that God was created but "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth." This my son will learn and appreciate, in order to appreciate ALL of life!

I praise the God who put life in my wife's womb. This is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the God of Yeshua HaMashiach who sent Him to die for a dying world +2K years ago.
