“But encourage one another every day, as long as it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” (Hebrews 3:13 NASB) If you do not read any further this morning, please benefit from the words in the opening verse.

Wednesday’s meditation was entitled, “Now You Have A Chance.” Well,  this morning I am going to exemplify that saying, “Don’t just do as I say, but do as I do.” In other words, while I have a chance, I want to send you these words of comfort, all taken from the Scriptures. Maybe one of them will be just right for you today. Be encouraged, my friend!  I’m taking that...

But now, since your troubles have been...
