He Has Spoken
I declare the end from the beginning, and from long ago what is not yet done, saying: my plan will take place, and I will do all my will. I call a bird of prey from the east, a man for my purpose from a far country. Yes, I have spoken; so I will also bring…

He is the Way
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 I have a confession: I married a Star Wars fan. That may not seem like much of a confession to some, but if you know, you know. All the movies, all the shows, all the…

The Greatest Commandment
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:37-39 In Christ’s time, the Hebrew people had 10 Commandments and over 600 statutes to live by.…

God’s Refining Power
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 What a powerful reminder of the refining power of God!
