“For we walk by faith, not by sight:” (2 Corinthians 5:7 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible). I am a visual person. If I can see it, I won’t forget it. God knew that I needed to understand this scripture better so He sent Ron to clear…
“Dear friend, when you extend hospitality to Christian brothers and sisters, even when they are strangers, you make the faith visible” (3 John 1:5-6 in the Message Bible). Paul was writing to his good friend, Gaius. Gaius was a very common name and is found in several scriptures. My research…
There is strength within the sorrow There is beauty in our tears And You meet us in our mourning With a love that casts out fear You are working in our waiting You’re sanctifying us When beyond our understanding You’re teaching us to trust Your plans are still to prosper…

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” (Luke 17:5, NIV) In Luke 17, the apostles asked the Lord to increase their faith. The apostles were not just people off the street who did not have a relationship with the Lord. They were already followers and believed in who Jesus was.…

I’ve talked to several people in the last few months that are in tough situations. Problems with their finances, their children, their marriages, addictions, you name it.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7, Holy Bible, New King James).
A visiting minister taught our congregation the precepts of being a kingdom keeper using Joash, the keeper of the oil, as an example.

That position is always open for new volunteers.
Prayer: Lord, whatever I can do for You, never let me forget that keeping the faith is a top priority.
