He knows everything, He can do all things and He is able to be everywhere at the same time. He is always there for us when we need His help. He is the Creator of all life and He causes all things to…..
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:18-19 ESV) It was never God’s intention for us to live in fear. Instead, His plan is that we live in power, love and with a sound mind and self-control. (2 Timothy 1:7) However, if you’ve ever felt stress, worry, anxiety or dread, you’ve…..
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

I [Jesus] am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. (John 10:9-10 ESV) Let’s face it, we’ve all encountered those who have been false and dishonest with us. In our day-to-day lives, we know that experience all too well. Thankfully, when we come to Jesus that…..
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:4-7 ESV) Many people would agree that the idea of expressing joy or gladness in the…..
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:4-6 NRSV) There is much encouragement in God’s Word that our heavenly Father desires for His children to live in love and unity with one another. Yet, doing so can be difficult in many ways, both within our…..
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7 ESV) We all have choices to make in our daily lives.
