Whom Have I in Heaven but thee? and there is none upon the earth that I desire besides thee.

I was looking for a verse to study today and God led me to this one:
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.  Psalm 34:8

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.  John 13:34-35

Economic troubles, natural disasters, a world at war, rising crime rates, and a world falling into depression.  Cheery?  Relaxed?  Probably not.  It’s easy in today’s time to just feel overwhelmed with all the pressures coming to us from all kinds of angles.  The thing we should always remember is that God is in fact in [...]

I have noticed more and more of what I am going to term popcorn preaching - it seems like more and more we take one verse and ignore the rest of it.  I fear this is hurting young Christians because we give them on verse and interpret the meaning of that verse while ignoring the [...]

I’m confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m [...]

I have strived to hard to consider myself no better than anyone else, Christian or not.  It can be easy to get a big head and think we are so much better than those not saved.  I mean our destiny is set, our death on earth is just the beginning, and we have hope for [...]
