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. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as…

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. John 9:1-3 Individuals who are blind tend to develop heightened senses of…

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 not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor.Let none of you plan evil in his heart against his brother.’ “But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their…

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…

So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, “Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.” and then those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.

Have you ever woke up from a dream with a message that overwhelms you, so much so that it consumes your entire day? It is so easy to stray off into the woods when the message is so simple, it requires no further thought. I don’t know if that is I did today after I

I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help. My help comes from the LORD who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1-2). For those who have looked beyond the image in the mirror, the reality of worldwide chaos is very evident. Even then, so many still refuse to believe in

Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples (Psalms 105:1 NKJV). I’m often guilty of not sharing how God has worked in my life, even after He answers my prayers. I was permitted the opportunity over the past few weeks to hear others share their testimonies

Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits (Ps. 103: 1-2). The neglect for God’s grace and mercy is enough to justify sudden destruction; yet, by His great grace we live on. We strive on

My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus’ name; On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand (Edward Mote, 1797-1874). This is the song that suddenly began playing in my head after rising from

We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near. (Ps 75:1, NKJV) I read this out loud as I knelt in reverent prayer yesterday morning. Immediately after which I closed my eyes to pause and allow His Spirit to guide me in my prayer.

Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” (Mark 8: 15 NKJV) Leaven, the ingredient used to puff up bread, is akin to pride which is the ingredient that puffs us up. I have not always heeded to this warning that now extends well

Do you indeed speak righteousness, you silent ones? Do you judge uprightly, you sons of men? No, in heart you work wickedness; you weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth (Ps. 58:1-2 NKJV).

An appreciation for ones talent and hard work is often overlooked by those who benefit from them the most. Strength and resilience through prayer will help you find the resolve to overcome.
