Give Thanks
Truly one of my favorite passages of Scripture is this exhortation from the Apostle Paul in his first letter to the Thessalonians. There’s so much wisdom packed into these few verses…my oh my what a different world, what a different city, and even what different households we would live in if we just took these […]

His Word is Truth
A wonderful passage of scripture is found in John chapter 17; it contains a prayer from the mouth of Jesus for His followers.

Trusting God
Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the bigness of God and at the very same time overwhelmed by His nearness.

God’s way has always been that He accepts anyone who comes to Him and is willing to […]
