Today is the last in a series paying attention to all the times in which the Bible commands us to not be afraid. I have noted in the past weeks that scripture tells us over 100 times to not be afraid. In the past weeks we have examined that command in light of related features. We have noticed how worry…

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 16 Hereby perceive we the love of God , because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 O Lord , thou hast searched me,…

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

What is Christmas? All the great Christmas stories, movies and songs try to share the meaning of Christmas. The Advent journey ends.

However, across the street was a swamp. So, we didn’t go there. And the majority of our two acres was what we termed a “waste…

The Source 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is…

Know God How do we get to know God? And, is there a difference between knowing God, and knowing about God? Too often, we may be as guilty as the Israelites described by Moses in Exodus 3:13 13 Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent…
