Courageous!
Jesus Christ, God the Son, came to earth, took on human flesh, suffered as we suffer, and was tempted as we are tempted, yet without sin. He was despised and rejected of humankind, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering. He was crucified on a cross, although he had done no wrong. When he … Continue reading Courageous!
Praise Be Told!
Jesus Christ, God the Son, came to earth, took on human flesh, suffered as we suffer, and was tempted as we are tempted, yet without sin.

Laodicea
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.

We get sick. We get hurt. We have communication and relationship difficulties. We make bad judgments sometimes, … Continue reading His Tender Mercies

We put things that should be last in first place and those things that should be … Continue reading First Things First
He Reached Down
I love my Lord God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is my Rock and my salvation. Jesus gave his life as a ransom for all people so that we could be forgiven our sins and could have the hope of eternal life with God in heaven. Yet, he did not die just so … Continue reading He Reached Down
My Witnesses
“…the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers” (Rev. 17:14).
