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. Laughter can easily turn to mourning, mourning to joy, worry to optimism, and excitement…

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…

Why do you beat your chest and speak with such veracity? Why is ego your platform and pride your microphone? Why do you speak into what you have no power to do and speculate about what you do not know? Why are you controlled by your imagination? Is your word able to create what you

Consider the results of your efforts when you approach them with a willing heart; a willing spirit that challenges the shortcomings of the body. In your prayers, ask God for a willing spirit to sustain you (Psalms 51:12) because willingness does not recognize barriers, only obstacles. Willingness gives freely; it does not require a contract

Obedience Remove from all that you do, the fear of repercussion, challenge, failure, or unwanted burden and you may find a need to act out of love. For love is walking in obedience to our Father’s commands (2 John 6), which are not burdensome (1 John 5:3). Remove the blinders of sin that cause us

Proverbs 6:16 These six things the Lord hates, yes seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren (NKJV). We

Psalm 25: 1-7 To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed. Let not my enemies triumph over me. Indeed, Let no one who waits on you be ashamed. Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. Show me Your ways, O

SACRIFICE A solemn expression, lade with images of broken hearts and troubled minds. A message on the cross, accompanied by grief and darkness; yet defeated, giving way to joyful songs and divine light. A message often misunderstood, dismissed as foolishness to those who are perishing; but accepted as the power of God to those who
