Without God life is empty. Jesus paid a costly price to rescue you and offer you abundant life. The Lamb of God died for the forgiveness of all.

  Money is the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6:10   Have you heard this Scriptural one-liner?   Unfortunately, it’s a phrase lifted out of context and used inappropriately. Money does sometimes cause problems, but it can also be powerful for Good.   1 Timothy 6:10 actually says: For the love of money is…

  If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  Romans 10:9 (NLT)     Declare with your lips. Confess with thy mouth. Say it out loud.     All the various translations, and the original Greek, emphasize this element:…

   The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.  1 Corinthians 1:18 (NLT)    In my last post, I shared a situation about giving an awesome, perfect and expensive gift, but receiving casual acknowledgment and…

Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words!  2 Corinthians 9:15 (NLT)   Will you help?   I found the perfect gift for someone! I love when that happens! It was expensive, but if she’d put it to use, I believed her life would improve dramatically! I was so excited! I wrote a personal…

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.   Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)   Susie Larson’s Daily Blessing really touched me today, and so I pass it along to you.   My you…

Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him.  Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.  Colossians 2:7 (NLT)   As Confirmation Sunday approaches, it’s my privilege to select a scripture and pray for each of my students.…

[Jesus speaking] I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth. I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. John 17:19-20   Jesus was thinking about you while He hung on the cross.…

Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. He died for everyone so that those who receive His new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them. This means that anyone…

Peter declared, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you.” Matthew 26:33   The Maundy Thursday service is my favorite.   Not Christmas Eve.  Not Easter.  Maundy Thursday.   I hesitate to say ‘favorite’ for such a sad service and sometimes use ‘most meaningful’.  It is, by far, the most moving service…
