    Our desire should primarily be for the Holy Spirit Himself, not his gifts.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,810 views

    Part of our witness to whom Jesus is in our lives comes from the way in which we share that which our Lord has given to us.

    First Kings offers us great insight into the way in which treaties worked in the Ancient Near East. Solomon and Hiram praise each other.

Expectations have changed....focus has changed and for some Moms today, fulfilling this role can be difficult at best. Many more appliances and conveniences ave ...read more

    Having gratefully received the gift of God’s grace, we can’t repay it or hoard it, but pass it on to others.

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is relatively easy to accept grace but it seems rather challenging to live a life of grace. I say it is relatively easy to accept grace, because we human beings have the tendency to earn it first. Do a trick – get a cookie! A doctor told a story about an ...read more
