    We’ve all been told to not try to be someone we’re not. As I read these verses, I can’t help but be thankful that God doesn’t try to be someone He’s not…. The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also…

    A commonly heard scripture that God shed new “light” on lately in me… Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in…

    I came across this passage while doing some reading and praying today: Mark 9:23-24 “If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for him who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Could it be that the Dad in this passage said, “I believe,” because he really did? Could…

    James 4:7-8 “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” OK, so it’s in the Bible and it’s not really a secret. The problem is, we so…

    “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7 I read theses verses a little while ago.

    Colossians 1:9-10: For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may…

    One of the things that I really enjoy about the Bible is the way I can read a story that I’ve read a hundred times and get a fresh perspective each time. Over the weekend, I was reading Matthew 14:13-21 and had these thoughts about my life and ministry… 1. People should never leave our…

    Genesis 3:6-7: When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them…

    I was reading through a story a few days ago that I must have read a hundred times before. It’s the calling of the disciples. As I was reading, I jotted these notes down about the passage… 1.God calls us when we’re acting on what we know to do. God never wants you to just…

    Matthew 12:9-10 “Then he went over to the synagogue where he noticed a man with a deformed hand. The Pharisees asked Jesus, ‘Is it legal to work by healing on the Sabbath day?’” Never let observance deter you from service. That is essentially what Jesus was doing in this passage. While the Pharisees were worried…
