Integrity; February 2, 2025
1 John 2:4-5 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we … Continue reading

Mortality; January 20, 2025
2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. I have quoted verse 17 more times than I could count, but not this one so much. However, at … Continue reading

Putting On Christ; January 17, 2025

Persecution; January 12, 2025

Perfection; January 8, 2025
John 12:43 For they loved human praise more than praise from God. What a sad but common commentary! So much of the time we live our lives for our human audience, performing in ways that we think will get us applause, … Continue reading

Eternal Life; January 6, 2025
John 11:25-27 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you … Continue reading
