Come and see what God has done:
he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.

who rules by his might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

Letters of the Bible: Jude Writes to the Called

A taker is someone who claims possession of something that doesn’t belong to them nor was it freely offered to them. The first couple of years I lived in New York City, God put me inContinueContinue reading “The Grace to Receive”
Are you asking for forgiveness or expecting to be forgiven?
While out shopping over the holidays, I ran into someone from a former congregation of mine. She spoke about the turmoil gripping her congregation at that time because of a tainted leader.

Pray for those who hurt you.” ~ Matthew 5:43-44 One of the hardest things in life is to recognize the sabotagers in your life but not move against them or strike back after anContinueContinue reading “Blessing those who don’t wish you well”
