Instead, He is patient with you, because He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants all to turn away from their sins.”  (2 Peter 3:9 Good News Translation) Per the Brittanica Encyclopedia, Manifest Destiny was the 19th‑century belief that the United States was destined, by divine right, to expand its territory...

“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may be with you forever; the Helper is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.” (John 14:16-18 NASB) This is your Sunday Share meditation. This...

“To God be the glory, great things He has done.” (Hymn by Fannie Crosby 1875) God does great things in our lives, every single day. To appreciate this, we need to recognize the varying shades of greatness. For you see “great things” are not always “big things.

“Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.” (Colossians 2:8 NLT Version) God can aid you in escaping the influence of the caving-in culture in which you live, either physically, psychologically, or spiritually. I have some proof, and it goes beyond...

“Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what.

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
