Actions and Words
on July 2nd, 2024
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (James 2:... Read More

Be Loving
on June 28th, 2024
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8) If we want to live a life that honors God, we need to be loving. This verse makes it clear by saying, “Above all, love each other deeply.” This is easier said than done because many people have personalities that just don’t seem to mesh with ours. It is easy to be loving in a general sense. “I just lo... Read More

Be Different
on June 26th, 2024
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. (1 Peter 4:1-2) As believers, our lives should be different from everyone else who is not a believer. Your life, because Jesus has saved... Read More

Never Give Up

Even when you fail, whether it's in your business, or your personal life, or wh... Read More
