Morning Prayers
Father, at the beginning of this new day I declare my love for you and my trust in you and my desire to die to myself and to live for you as I follow Jesus Christ today – by your grace. I also declare Lord that I have been guilty of the sin of prayerlessness […]
That which God has put together – I must not tear apart!
“But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matthew 5:32, ESV) God says and the two shall become one. What God has made one we are not to interfere with or tear apart. […]
Yes! It is all possible. I just have to DIE!
“so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;” (Colossians 1:10, ESV) What a joy to contemplate a life where I / we / one is bearing fruit in every good work AND increasing in the […]

Father, as I prepare to lay down at the end of this day you have given me I am painfully reminded of the many who have no place to lay, of the many who have not risen today because they are confined to their beds, of the many who have no roof over their head […]

““You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:27–28, ESV) Jesus didn’t change the command “do not commit adultery”, but he put the command on steroids: […]
