Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJV) “For if you forgive men their trespasses, our heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” None of us are perfect. We all have areas where The Lord needs to work on us. Thing is, it usually requires […]
Proverbs 4:25-27 (NIV®) “Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left, keep your foot from evil.” I’m not usually big on new year resolutions. They usually
John 6:26 (NIV®) “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.” Are you like me? My guess is you are. Slow to believe all the hype about so many things. Slow to “buy in” to
Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Have you ever said “Well, I just have to trust The Lord”? I’ve said it many times lately… but I wonder about that statement. I

Psalms 1:3 (NKJV) “He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” This morning was cool and crisp. Sixty degree temperatures would normally have me chilled… but I was walking at a
John 20:23 (NKJV) “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” What if this is true? What if our forgiving another person totally erases his/her debt? If Jesus said this to His disciples, and I am a follower of Christ – a
Psalms 100:4-5 (NKJV) “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.” I have to say, I was taken aback this past week when I heard someone call
2 Corinthians 5:1 (NIV®) “For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.” It is hard to watch someone waste away before your eyes. You know what is happening but there is nothing you can
I John 1:6 (NKJV) “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” Kind of harsh isn’t it? Nothing like a little “black and white” confronting our “gray”. My junior high math teacher used to refer to the rubber hitting the road… this

2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV®) “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” He is changing us. Day by day, minute by minute, He is changing us … if we let Him. There is not
