WHO IS MY GOD?
Today I share with you who God is to and for me. Your God may be different from my God for not all worship the same God nor worship God in the same way. I just have a need to put into writing my personal creed. When I consider whom God is to me, I think of love. In 1 John 4:16b NIV we find, "God is...

AN EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE TO GIVE US HOPE
Over the years I have seen many articles and books meant to assist us in the process of looking inward to discover those areas in our life where we need to improve or correct our behaviors.

GOD, THE PEACE CONNECTION, Continues
In Psalm 139 we find David angry with those, he calls his enemies, because of their offenses against God. David was not seeking personal vengeance as he cried out to God to destroy his enemies who would not accept God. David was truly angry, the way a parent is angry when someone turns against his...

GOD, THE PEACE CONNECTION, Continued
When Jesus said to love one another He was not simply telling the Apostles and us, to be nice to each other, to be hospitable to visitors, or to be kind to those with whom we share a meal.

A LAMP TO MY FEET
DEVOTIONAL "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot, be hidden neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds...

Continuation of A MULTITUDE OF SINS
I think the basic cause of sin is greed; an insatiable desire to possess whatever we want, when we want it; however, we can get it, without regard for the needs and feelings of anyone else. Greed leads us into a place of idol worship where self becomes our god; a place where we put self and our...

A MULTITUDE OF SINS
"Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins." James 5:19NKJV "A multitude of sins," How many sins are "a multitude of sins?" Is it fifty,...
