The Blessing of Open Heavens

Romans 5:8  But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.   God loves you!! He’s not an angry God who is waiting at the corner of every bad turn to punish you. The Holy Bible says, “The LORD is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding […]

A “Lot” of Baggage

Matthew 22:39  And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’   When the Lord called Abraham to follow Him, He commanded him to do just one thing – to get away from his old life completely. He said, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.” – Genesis […]

The Crown of Life

Matthew 22:37-38  Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.”   The Olympic year is here!

Romans 13:8  Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.   The Pharisees strongly disliked the Lord Jesus.

God of Love

Romans 12:10  Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honour giving preference to one another.   The Lord Jesus was often tested by experts of the law. It is quite amazing that He almost always answered their question with another question! And so it was when this expert in the law asked […]

Make His praise Glorious!!!

1 Chronicles 16:8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name, make known His deeds among the people. When was the last time you made known what the Lord had done in your life to the people around you? It’s so easy to talk about things that concern Christianity than to talk about Christ […]

Kingdom Sized Faith

Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  How many times have you struggled with faith? You know that the Lord is good, but just looking at the sheer size of that mountain in front of you is so overwhelming that the valley seems even more deeper and […]

Your Yoke for His Rest

Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. What do you do when you’ve been trying your best, yet don’t seem like you’re getting anywhere. When the loads you’ve been carrying have been getting just too tiring and unbearable and you want to give up […]
