Romans 3:22-24

Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go. 

For this reading plan, we are memorizing Romans 3:22–24. This week we’ll add the remainder of verse 22, a declaration that there are no distinctions among believers. 

22 The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe, since there is no distinction. 23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; 24 they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
—Romans 3:22–24

    GramsieSue thank you for your prayers! Things are modestly better but still a struggle daily. Shannon praying for you sister.

    Does anyone know why comments show here and not on website and vice versa? I feel like I have to check both places.

  6. Claire B says:

    Shannon I feel for you. I was a moody monster so bad that when I got out of bed and walked across the room my husband would say “oh, no”. He said my whole body and mannerisms changed. I had a hysterectomy at age 39. It was life changing. Praying your gyno can help you find a solution to that most miserable issue. Also pray for those around you to have patience.

    Happy Sunday dear shes,
    @RHONDA: praying for your back to be strong and pain-free. My chiropractor used to ask me how often do you feel your back? and he added, you should NOT feel your back at all. I find that funny but its true. May the Lord remove all the pain in your body, and facilitate your AC to be fixed. I miss our sweet DOROTHY too… praying for her and her soon return.
    @AZ WALKER: praise God no more long trips. I can’t imagine how exhausting that must have been. Praying for good rest for you and your family.
    @MARTH HIX: praying for your home plumbing and flooding issue to be resolved, and capable hands from honest & kind workers/contractors to be sent.
    @SHARON SCHEIBENPFLUG: wow, i am so glad your church connects with such addiction rehab groups. i always admire churches with such programs that they are not afraid to reach out to where it is darkest. Such bold and brave faith! Praying for those women and your church.
    @SHANNON LOWRY: praying for you. I used to suffer from pms cramps, and i needed to take tylenol. My mom didn’t have this symptom so it was not hereditary for my case, but I was mad at it. I did a fast for my physical healing (i fasted for 3 days, from 6am-6pm on water only, i had to prepare myself, since a fast is hard mentally and physically, so on days that i was off work, reading isaiah 58 (the principle of the fast chapter-the true fast that is pleasing to God and i followed it). I asked God to uproot specific sickness (i wrote a list that I prepared weeks before of things that oppressed me and my family members), and asked him to release me/them from such bondage of sickness. I did that, and then it went away, along with the mysterious migrane, and my depression, and my dad who was overseas (in Vietnam, who just got back surgery for spine issues and doctor said high chance he will be on wheelchair, he didn’t know I was fasting and praying with his name on my list), he too got healed gradually. I was shocked how the fast was so powerful. God is not playing with His promise. “Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily….”(Isaiah 58:8). I am praying for your speedy healing.

    I’d like to encourage us she’s if you are dealing with long time bondage of sickness, or any forms of attack that brought you tears, pains, grief, that have been prolonging, consult the Great Physician. He said certain kinds will ONLY come out through FATING AND PRAYER (Matthew 17:21). Even fasting and prayer has saved the whole nation of Israel from being killed and reshaped their history (Esther’s case). It is powerful!!!

    Praying over you dear she’s and your precious families. May good health, joy, peace and victory be your portion, and may the Lord make every crooked paths straight. “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” (Psalm 107:20)

    Be blessed dear sisters. With God nothing is impossible. Truly. Truly :)

  9. Nora Lowrey says:

    Hello all! Happy Lord’s Day! We had a stirring service today leaving me ready to face the week with an assurance of faith. I’m so grateful our church is positive and filling with new faces each week; the righteousness of God emanates from the smiling faces of teenagers like I haven’t seen much anywhere else! & Yes, The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all that believe, since there is no distinction. Amen.

  10. AZ Walker says:

    Happy Sunday ladies. Praying for Shannon, Aimee Rogers, Heidi’s daughter and 17 year old pregnant niece, Aleida and Victor’s son and relationship with his Dad, Sharon’s sister Arien, Rhonda pain and the a/c and issues, Kristine Loughman’s plantar fasciitis and prayers for our teachers and the upcoming school year, Kristin’s mom and baby Sawyer, Lynne from AL and Linda from NC and your husbands. You’re all in my prayers as I go thru my journal. Mercy, I also had a very busy week with work, my daughter’s car situation, praise the Lord no more trips across our state! Her car broke down the very last trip home but her Dad rescued her and fixed the car. Mari V and Sarah D, HL praying for your jobs/changes and overall joy and stability in our workplaces. Blessings to all.

  11. Traci Gendron says:

    SHANNON LOWRY – I feel for you. I had PMS when I was younger. It took a toll on my relationships. I could become so moody. I’m not sure that is your symptom, but I felt like something was so wrong with me. I ended up with a Mirena IUD. It was life changing. It had progesterone in it and balanced me out. I will pray for you. I know it is so difficult to live with.

    RHONDA J – Prayers for you! Living in pain is so hard.

  12. Mari V says:

    @Colleen DeVeau  Thank you for your beautiful prayer this morning.

  13. Mari V says:

    I am FREE!! Thank you Jesus! Good morning beautiful She’s! I had the most amazing time in the Bay Area. I’ve never been there myself. Traffic wasn’t as hectic to and from. Thank you for praying. I was nervous, but felt confident about driving there all by myself. My short visit there was worth the beautiful LONG walk along the beach with my sweet friend. I have lots to be grateful for as her daughter and my daughter are also good friends. God is good!

    Shannon, I also have PCOS. The go-to treatment has always been birth control; however, that floods your system with hormones. I am in the process of changing my treatment. I will lift you up in pray. hormone.

    Good morning, Shes! You are in my prayers. Thank you for your faithfulness to meet here each day and pray for one another. It is so vital and encouraging. God, please continue to bless all of these women who lift You high and put You and Your kingdom first each day. Thank You for their hearts. Preserve them, Lord. Give them hope and joy when they have none. May they continue to grow in the knowledge of You and learn to trust and lean on You more and more each day. Thank You again for each one. Bless them and keep them, Abba. In Your precious name, amen.

  20. Cee Gee says:

    Oh, RHONDA J! Praying for a good day! ❤

  21. Cee Gee says:

    SHANNON – Praying that your health professional can sit down with you and develop a successful plan of treatment. (I confess I had to research the conditions you named. I was only, thankfully, familiar with pms.) Praying that you get noticeable relief in the meantime. If possible, a nature walk might boost your spirits. It always helps me to be able to speak my concerns out loud to God. For some reason I am more comfortable doing that outside. God bless you, sister!

    MERCY ❤

    LINDA IN NC and LYNNE FROM ALABAMA – Continued prayers for you both and your husbands. I saw the toll home care took on my brother in law. Love and your faith will carry you. Bless you, dear sisters, for the example you both are. ❤
    Today’s Sunday School lesson is from Jeremiah 31 and is titled “Redeemed”. I was just reminded of the old hymn:
    Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
    Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
    Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
    His child, and forever, I am.
    Refrain:
    Redeemed, redeemed,
    Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
    Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
    His child, and forever, I am.
    2 I think of my blessed Redeemer,
    I think of Him all the day long;
    I sing, for I cannot be silent;
    His love is the theme of my song. [Refrain]
    3 I know I shall see in His beauty
    The King in whose law I delight,
    Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps and giveth me songs in the night.

  22. Rhonda J. says:

    Good Sunday She’s!

    Wishing you a beautiful day the Lord hath made! It may not always feel wonderful, as I wake up pretty much every day not feeling like I can do it, but somehow it happens! Today would be an easy day to skip church, I don’t feel good (my back), my husband is out of town (he had a close friend pass away), and the a/c went out Friday night. It was 80 degrees trying to sleep last night, and then had an old filling chip last night while eating popcorn! geez! haha. But God..these are all silly problems, and I need to get up and “get my face on” (as my dad used to tell us! haha). So…I will go to church and Praise, because we are to praise when we feel like it or not!

    Prayers for you Shannon and all of you!

    Smiles! (I miss Dorthy! Wonder what happened, she has been here since I have!, prayers that all is ok!)

  23. Sharon Scheibenpflug says:

    Good morning She’s! A blessed Sunday morning to you all! Today at church we are having ladies from Walter Hoving Home. It’s a Christian “rehab” where women can go who are battling addictions. They will come, give their testimonies & sing for us – all that followed by a church picnic! Pray that the Holy Spirit will work in the hearts of those who are lost, in our congregation…we are justified freely through His grace. Amen! Grace that is greater than all our sin!!

    @Shannon Lowry – praying for you this morning.

    Celebrate your God and Savior today, Shes.

    Hi she’s! I’m asking for y’all’s prayers – i have pmdd (more severe pms) and pcos which affects my cycles regularity. Because of irregular periods lately, my pmdd has gotten really, really bad. I am very scared. Please pray God restores hormonal balance and eases the toll of this on my life. I pray God covers you all & your intentions with His light & love, and you feel His presence with you always.
