    Resolving conflict, not knowing who to believe, living knowing people are bitter toward you – these are all a normal part of the Christian life; it isn't all pretty.

    Joseph took this obstacle (being sold into slavery by his brothers) and turned it into an opportunity. He had every reason to be bitter and resentful. His attitude made all the difference.

     | 1,770 views

    Can we properly divide the terms – spirit, soul, body? We serve the God of Peace whose aim is to make us sanctified (holy) before a holy God. So much has been done for us. We love Him because He first loved us. We look at Paul’s prayer for the Thessalonians.

    Epiphany 6. In His sermon on the mount, Jesus expounds on murder, adultery, and lying. He makes it clear that these sins are significant, that they reach, infect, and pervade us all, so that there is no righteousness in us, and our righteousness must be found in Him.

    Matthew 5:21-37 Epiphany 6 A J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen.

     | 547 views

    When fear grips our heart and in those times when we feel all alone, deserted and feel that there is no one to help us or stand by us, let’s remember that God sees and He is by our side. The life of Hagar gives us a glimpse of God’s presence in the midst of life’s hardest moments.

    We read in Genesis 21:17, “God heard the boy crying, and from heaven the angel of God spoke to Hagar, "What are you troubled about, Hagar? Don't be afraid. God has heard the boy crying.”(GNB) Hagar and her son wandered through the wilderness, and when the little water she carried got ...read more

    Jesus comforted His disciples, “And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” In these words, Jesus speaks of God’s FOREORDINATION, His detailed KNOWLEDGE of us, His high VALUATION of us, and His promise of PRESERVATION.

    One of the major rules of engagement in this battle is ‘walking in love.” Once you drift into revenge, bitterness, unforgiveness, grudge, and malice, you have given Satan the advantage over you.
