All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. An old song says: “Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.” Think about that for a moment! It’s easy to lose perspective. We all face challenges and difficulties in life. And if we are not on guard, they can divert our attention from all the Lord has done for us. Yes, you may face obstacles, we may not …

(1 Peter 2:2)…..as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby. If you want to grow as you should as a Christian, then feed on God’s Word just as a newborn baby desires to be fed. If you know anything about babies, you know they require regular feeding! It’s not just a quick reading of the Word that you need. You must chew the Word to get the “milk” out of it. This just means you need to meditate on God’s Word to get all …

“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” (1 John 4:16)

You probably have questions, such as “When?” and “Why?”

Fortunately, the Bible does give us answers, just not as many as most of us would like.

Godly people, throughout history, have …

May we understand, with all God’s people, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love really is. May we experience the love of Christ, though it is so great we will never fully grasp it this side of heaven. Then we will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

How can words describe, or humans fully understand, something that is as deep as God Himself? God’s love is greater than words have the ability to communicate. It is impossible to put into …

It seems that the theme of “JOY” has come up in several conversations this past and present weeks. I have heard several times “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials….” and “Rejoice always and I say rejoice.” After all isn’t joy being produced in us through the cultivating and pruning work of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22)?
