Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” John 8:10-11 (NLT)   Sin no more.   This exchange concludes the familiar story of the woman caught in…

  We ask God to give you complete knowledge of His will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better. Colossians 1:9-10 (NLT)   What is God’s will for your life?   That’s a big question. Not many of us…

So we have not stopped praying for you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of His will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow…
