    When we get to know Jesus, we can trust Him that wherever He is leading us is good and for our good. And so we want to put ourselves in the place of hearing His voice.

    Last week, we spoke about, "The Peace of Jesus, the valuable gift of Peace". Most importantly, he asked what the source of our peace and its quality is. I think this will be a good juncture to ponder on that point “the source and quality of our Peace” while reflecting on our lives and ...read more

    Where is the source of our Strength in God? It comes from Joy, and that Joy comes from hearing the uncompromised Word of God and allowing it to have an impact upon our hearts and lives. Without the Truth of the Word, there can be no Joy and strength.
