Let Us Not Waste Our Freedom
Knowing that we are free in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 8:32-36) May we not submit ourselves again to a yoke of slavery to sin by embracing the ways of the this world 1 Peter 2:16(ESV) 16Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants […]
DO YOU SHARE IN THE JOY OF CHRIST
So that our joy may be complete “that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.” […]
An Unlit Candle Is Of No Help
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105, ESV) The Word of God is a light for us to follow as we make our way through the day. Our days on earth are filled with darkness, obstacles, and dangers. Without a lamp, we are quickly off course […]
COMMUNION WITH GOD
“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” (Colossians 2:6–7, ESV) And the means for walking in Jesus is also what we call ‘walking in the light’:“But if we walk in the […]

“All your many blessings Lord” include at a minimum:
When my children pray they come quickly to the end wherein they pray “and thank you Lord for all your many blessings.” It may seem like a ‘catch all’ call that a lawyer might draft into a contract favorable only to his client and no one else. Nothing could be further from the truth.Blessing of […]
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)
May we truly get the message God has given us, blessed us with through David. I read of a young boy who, upon being asked to recite the 23rd Psalm began by saying, “The Lord is my shepherd, what more could I want.” He may have missed the text slightly but he nailed the meaning […]
Using The Gifts God Has Given You
“For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our […]
