(Proverbs 18:21) “.....The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life..” (John 6:63) Words are full of power, both to wound and to heal, to break ...read more

We find them in Matthew 5 … open your Bible to that place … Matthew 5. (Read Matthew 5:3-10) Jesus uses these Beatitudes to introduce what it means to have a kingdom ...read more
