Suppose that you had no New Testament Scriptures. How would that affect your ability to share the Good News? What difference would it make in your daily devotions? What Scriptures would you have quoted on your refrigerator? What Scriptures were the Bereans reading as they first checked to see if what Paul and Silas were saying were true, and then, as many of […]
Samuel’s presence apparently terrorized many Israelis because he had great authority and power from Yahweh.

We don’t need more good works. We need more freedom granted to the Holy Spirit to do His work. That will, of course, produce more good works, but His main work is to form Christ in us. My children, again I am in the pains of childbirth for you until Christ is formed in you. (Galatians 4:19-20 Holman Christian Standard […]
Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end.They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness! I say: The Lord is my portion, therefore I will put my hope in Him. (Lamentations 3:22-24 from Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®) You can’t even find your car in a parking lot some days.
