laid in a feed trough. But Jesus won’t stay put.
No longer a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths, He is raised ... Continue

GO
into all the world & preach the good
news to everyone. Mark 16:15 (NLT)
GO
Or
better translated, “as you go” -
is Jesus’ straightforward instruction that believing in Him involves
a way of living as you go. Believing is not about sitting in the stands but

I hung my outdoor
Christmas lights this past week when there was a bit of warmer weather. We have

strands across the front gutter. The bulbs are easy to replace when ... Continue

And all of us, with

are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another;

For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies
for ourselves alone.
If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for
the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Romans 14:7-8
belong - I am chosen and have ... Continue

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe
yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear
with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against
someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on
love, which binds them all together ... Continue
