Do You Love Jesus?

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2024

Is There Fire In Your Bones?

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 22, 2025

Jeremiah (like us) was told to speak God's message to the Israelites. He got a cold reception. He decided he wouldn't speak any more, but God's Word, bottled up inside, became like fire in his bones! My Question is: Do YOU have fire in your bones?

Provoking Thoughts From (3 John)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
