But With God… Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26 As we prepare to enter Holy Week with the coming of Palm Sunday tomorrow, it seems only fitting to explore and celebrate one more “but God” moment. Matthew 19:26 is a well-known…

But God Chose…
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things…

But God’s Truth…
Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behavior. This kind of talk spreads like cancer, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus. They have left the path of truth, claiming that the resurrection of the dead has already occurred; in this way, they have turned some people away from the faith. But God’s…

But God is the Strength…
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Peace that Passes Understanding
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 Every time I read Philippians 4:6-7 something new stands out to me. I turn there often because…

Sticking with the Program
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21 Last Saturday morning, God woke me up early. Like early, early. I mean 3 am early. I tossed and I turned and my thoughts ran amok like sheep that refused to be counted. I tried to pray,…
