John 15:5 – “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” Can you imagine a life without Jesus? Those of us who know Him and have tasted His love, cannot even think of […]
Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Imagine a potter fashioning a clay vessel on his wheel.

1 Peter 5:6-7 – “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” We live in a generation that craves recognition.

Psalm 92:12-14 – “The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Matthew 3:8: Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance. All those of us who are saved and baptized need to bear fruits that are worthy of salvation. Our life and our character should match.
