“Have faith in God,” Jesus said. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.” Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them. (Mark 11:22-24) This Scripture has such an impact when we reflect upon it. Move…..
(Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom From Want” I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:12-13) Paul wrote this letter to the church in Philippi when he was in prison, perhaps in Rome. His purpose, among other things, was to encourage the Philippians to…..
The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him. (Psalm 37:40) If you are feeling defeated, you should meditate on the Psalm above. It reminds us that if we are obedient and trust in God, he will fight our enemies and deliver us from them. We don’t need to worry if we have been knocked down, because God has our back and the victory will be his……
“In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, that you also may be where I am.” (John 14:2-3) This Scripture is a great comfort to those who may not feel welcomed by God. There is indeed room for everyone who accepts…..
Does God care about politics? Evangelist Billy Graham, who turned 97 this past weekend, certainly thinks so. He recently remarked, on Facebook, that God cares about everything in our lives, including who will be the next president. (The story can be found online at http://www.christiantoday.com/article/billy.graham.god.cares.about.everything.in.our.lives.including.wholl.be.the.next.president/69574.htm) He shared the Scripture from 1 Timothy 2:1-2, where Paul is instructing Timothy about how a local church should conduct itself: “I urge them, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving be made…for…..
For God did not send His Son in to the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:17) Do you hold fast to this truth? If so, there is no need to feel condemned by others (even if they are Christians). This Scripture is a wonderful reminder that God sent His son because He loved us and wanted to bring us home. He came to save us, not to condemn us. His…..
