Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as God forgave you. (Col. 3:13) The mere fact that we must bear with each other underscores how easily self-centered we can be. We all want others to bear up with us in our weaknesses, but we are reluctant to do the […]

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. (Isa. 26:3) Peace is “Freedom from disturbance – a state of calmness“.
