    Happy Father’s day! Today let’s consider some things about the best Father of all. As we come to the last chapter of the gospel of Luke, we are reminded that God’s love wins. God’s love wins, always. Think about that, always! We have a Father in heaven who gave us His Son, Jesus Christ as a ...read more

    When we view children as a curse rather than a blessing we are under God’s curse. One reason that is true, I believe, is that children reveal whether we have a servant’s heart or a selfish heart. A selfish heart is more concerned about getting away from

    The foundation of all things is the glory of God. Jesus glorified the Father by completing the work He was given to do. We glorify Him the same way.

    John 17 is a prayer of Jesus, for His followers. Verse 20 is an extremely important and wonderful verse, which tells us that this prayer is not just for the little flock of disciples that followed Jesus along the roads of Palestine, but this prayer is for us, also. Isn’t it wonderful when people ...read more
