But With God… Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

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…

Genesis 50:20 Ok, if you’ve been reading along since Saturday, you’ll know by now that I’m fascinated lately with the concept of “but God”. We can blame the SAT Prep that I’m doing with…

3-25-23 Saturday Encouragement
When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending…

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…
