This message looks at what it means to be the Apple of God's Eye
You are the apple of my eye! Have you ever heard that expression? Probably not recently in common usage, but maybe in an old movie or a historical novel.

Last week I talked about how God is good but we are not. But we can be declared good through Christ. If we have been born again there are some things we need to be doing. We need to discern what is good and then we need to do what we know is good.
Recap: Last week I talked about how God is good but we are not. Most people think they are good but that's because they're using the wrong standard of measurement. Rick Warren writes, "Goodness can only be measured by God. God is the standard of goodness. If we compare ourselves to ...read more

God’s unwavering faithfulness means He never forgets us or His promises; His presence and covenant love sustain us through every season and circumstance.
Some of us keep a shoebox of memories. A faded ticket stub from the big game. A ribbon from a graduation cap. A hospital bracelet that once wrapped a tiny wrist. We keep them because they tell us who we are and whose we are. They steady us. They sing to us on stormy days. They whisper, You’ve been ...read more

It takes up residence in dark places and changes what we can see ...read more
