Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Ecc. 5:1 When we come before God, whether in corporate or personal worship, we must be careful how we approach Him. He is our Father and our Savior. He […]

Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil. Eph. 5:15,16 Warnings are exactly what they are.

Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. (Eccl. 4:6) It is not a virtue to settle for less when you have not optimized your potential capacity.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you. (Eph. 4:32) If you are a Christian, extending forgiveness to those who wrong you is a MUST, and no debate about it.

God wants each one of us […]

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace (Eph. 4:3). To better grasp our verse for the day, we must look at verses 1-6. Every believer came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through the invitation and convicting work of the Holy Spirit. Irrespective of your race, gender, age, accomplishments, or failures, the […]

The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but man is tested by the praise he receives. Pro. 27:21.
