Day 20 of God’s Love for Us September 29, 2017 “This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.”(1 John 3:23) Here are a few definitions: Jesus means “life giving” in Hebrew, and “the name of our lord” in Greek; Christ means “to forgive” in Hebrew and “anointed” in Greek; love then is “from God” in Hebrew, and “much, “as in a social and moral setting,” (pattern) and (quantity)” in Greek. So we could write this statement like this, ” This is God’s commandment, that Read More

Day 19 of God’s Love
Day 19 of God’s Love for Us September 27,2017 This comes from Colossians 1:12-14 “…joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints of Light. For He rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Paul wrote this while in prison in Rome. He is laying thin foundational roadmap of “… Five benefits God gives all believers through Christ: (1) He made us qualified to share in His inheritance; (2) He rescued us Read More
Day 18 of God’s Love
Day 18 of God’s Love for Us September 24, 2017 Have you ever held and admired a ladybug in the palm of your hand? Here is some perspective about God’s love for us.

This came to me this morning after listening Read More

Day 17 of God’s Love for Us
September 15, 2017
“”Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to deliver you,” declares the Lord. ” (Jeremiah 1:8) This is important because when we trust in the Lord and we hear His voice, rather than the negative naysayers in our own head, we can be bold, we don’t have to be skeptical. He knows the plan for us, all we have to do is trust Him and be obedient. Skeptical and afraid is disobedience.
What God do we Serve
What God do we Serve? September 13, 2017 I was listening to a conference call this past weekend and the person speaking asked this question, ”What God do you serve? Do you serve the God of abundance and purpose, or do you serve the god of fear, doubt, pain and distraction?” His question has intrigued me for days. His point was simple and effective. Any dirivative of fear or lack is not from God! God gave us all individual gifts and talents, it is our mission to find them and use them for His glory. God also gave us the Read More
Day 16 of God’s Love
Day 16 of God’s Love for Us “For as by one man’s (Adam’s) disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s (Jesus’s) obedience many will be made rightous.”(Romans 5:19) When Adam disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, he condemned all mankind to live in a world filled with temptation and sin, creating a barrier to having a relationship with God. But Jesus, who was perfect, died blameless and sinless, was risen from the dead to overcome death, gave us the ability to overcome the temptations and sinfullness of this world and have a relationship with God.
