     | 932 views

    “Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have HATED, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals’” (Malachi 1:2-3 NIV - emphasis mine)

    The Bible is very clear that God’s essence is love (1 John 4:7-10). He has always been love, even before He created the first human beings. He has always sought to have a close relationship with them because they were made for this love. The entire story of humanity is wrapped up within it. Love is ...read more

    Today we are celebrating Mother’s Day. This is a very special day in this nation for some very special mothers. I would like to give honor where honor is due and that’s to all the Godly Mothers and Grand Mothers that are here today.

    Today we honor our mothers in two ways: (1) SOME ARE HERE TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF THEIR MOTHER who has gone to be with the Lord.

    Mark, the evangelist, begins his gospel in the wilderness.

    Gleaned from John Ortberg’s Book - "If you want to walk on the water, you have to get out of the boat". This teaches us that we must understand exactly "who" the Lord is.

The obvious truth was that He and His wife were at odds with each other and were in the mode of ...read more
