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

1 Corinthians 3:23 (NIV®) “And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.” Ever have just the right song to automatically play in the car when you needed it most? Ever have friends and/or family reach out and encourage you when you were in a tough spot? Ever have someone send you a verse The Lord
2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV) “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” I was thinking about all the tools in my garage. I can’t go into a hardware

John 16:8 (NKJV) “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.” Have you been challenged lately? Have you had The Holy Spirit convict you of something, and you know in your gut that it is time for a decision regarding that area of your life?
