Fitting In
For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it! 2 Corinthians 11:4 If it appears we are more frequently hearing various versions of the Gospel, it’s because…

God Is Our Hope
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth” Psalms 121:1-2 Every day, we experience a range of emotions, many of them before lunch.

Let Us Pray
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

God’s Daily Gift to Humanity
Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into…

Eyes To See
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

Two Evils
Then the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Execute true justice, ‘show mercy and compassion everyone to his brother.

Do The Right Thing
“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,But the Lord weighs the hearts.” Proverbs 21:2 Have you ever sought advice from others, and they tell you to just do what’s in your heart; without knowing what is truly in your heart? Even when we know someone intimately, we still can never know the true depth of…

ENTANGLED
But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned. Titus 3:9-11 Is the Church/Body of Christ to entangled in worldly issues? Are we too often overly focused on national and…
