Refinishing an Old/New Table

 This table used to sit in our living/dining room, but as our family at home has gotten smaller, we've needed more space and less table, so we moved it to the back patio. I refinished it with some poly just last spring, or maybe the spring before, but it got absolutely trashed over the winter. Whatever I used on it just wasn't very protective and it was in bad shape.

Yesterday I resanded it, put on a stain (used the leftover from my beautiful desk), and put down two coats of poly (with sanding). I was going to put on another coat if it dried, but it rained all night long, so that didn't get done. The good news is, the water was all beaded up on top of the table, so it looks like it was keeping from soaking into the wood. 

We are going to tarp the table this winter, and just uncover it if we need to use it. It seems that the combination of harsh weather, wind, and frigid temperatures is a little tough on stuff.

The Romans Road is a map of verses in Romans that share God’s plan of salvation.

Who needs salvation?

 

Romans 3:10-12¹⁰ as it is written: “There is no righteous person, not even one;¹¹ There is no one who understands, There is no one who seeks out God;¹² They have all turned aside, together they have become ^[a]corrupt; There is no one who does good, There is not even one.”

 

Why do we need salvation?

 

Romans 3:23 ²³ for all ^[a]have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

 

Romans 6:23²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

How does God provide salvation?

 

Romans 5:8⁸ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

 

How do I receive salvation? What are the results of salvation?

 

Romans 10:9-10^9 [a]that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; ¹⁰ for with the heart a person believes, ^[b]resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, ^[c]resulting in salvation.

 

 

Like the Children’s song from Vacation Bible School, “Wiki Wiki”

“A-a-wiki. Admit to God that you're a sinner and repent and turn away from your sin, quickly, quickly.

B-a-wiki. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God and He gave His life for you and me-ee-ee-ee-ee.

 C-a-wiki. Confess your faith in Jesus as your Savior and Lord forevermore, it isn't tricky!”
