25.01.2022 "Now stand here quietly before the LORD as I remind you of all the great things the LORD has done for you and your ancestors." 1 Samuel 12:67 REMINDER Remembering the great things the LORD has done for you and for others fills you with gratitude and hope. Step back from your current circumstances for a moment and stand quietly before the LORD. It's a good reminder and practice to regain perspective on your present circumstances.

25.01.2022 "Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick." Matthew 14:14 COMPASSION IN PAIN Jesus had just heard the news about John the Baptists death and had got in a boat to go to a remote place to be alone. People heard where he was going and came out to find him. In the midst of his pain over the death of John we find Jesus having compassion on others and healing their sick. He then does the miracle of feeding the 5,000. Then Jesus tells the disciples to get in the boat and cross to the other side while he sends the people home. Finally he gets to go in the hills by himself to pray. Just had compassion for people even when in the midst of his own pain at losing a family relative. That is an example of COMPASSION IN PAIN.

25.01.2022 "Jesus replied, And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?" Matthew 15:3 TRADITIONS Why is it that people tend to push towards extremes. On the one hand some idolise traditions and on the other people make a sport out of rejecting anything that hints of tradition. We need to ensure in church that the traditions that we have are firmly tied to the direct commands of God. Other traditions may honour history or some other element and are therefore open to change. In this space, not all traditions are bad and not all traditions are good and so wisdom is necessary to decipher between those points. Heres to Godly and wise TRADITIONS.

24.01.2022 5 In my distress I prayed to the LORD, and the LORD answered me and set me free. 6 The LORD is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? Psalm 118:56... FOR YOU God is not against you.... he is for you! Pray openly to God about what is going on in your life and the things that bother you. The things that overwhelm you and the things that bring you joy. Pray for others and their needs. Be set free daily for the Lord is FOR YOU.

24.01.2022 9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real lovenot that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. 12 No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. 1 John 4:912 LOVED... God loves you more than you can comprehend. Let the words in this passage of scripture wash through your mind. Along with Gods great love for us comes the blessing of us extending that love to others. If you want to gauge how close you are to God take the temperature of how much love you feel towards others. May other people know when you are around them that they are LOVED. See more

24.01.2022 "Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign, but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah. Then Jesus left them and went away." Matthew 16:4 SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAH One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, demanding that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority. (Mt 16:1) The passage above is part of Jesus response. So what is the sign of the prophet Jonah? The answer can be found in... Matthew 12:38-42. Specifically in verse 40. "For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights." Jesus had already done a number of miracles and they had refused to believe and here they were asking for another one. The ultimate sign Jesus was going to give them was his death and resurrection. THE SIGN OF JONAH.

24.01.2022 "Better to hear the quiet words of a wise person than the shouts of a foolish king." Ecclesiastes 9:17 QUIET WORDS I remember a man named Claude Judd. He would sit in meetings quietly as people discussed and argued points back and forward. Claude would finally clear his through and then say something wise. The room would go quiet for a moment and then people would move in the direction that Claude outlined. The quiet words of a wise person are worth listening too above the shouts of others. Today as you move through the things you face. Where can you bring QUIET WORDS?

23.01.2022 "Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions." Matthew 7:20 INSIDE/OUTSIDE A persons actions clearly show what is happening on the inside. That is why what is happening in your mind is so important. Ask God for an inner transformation of your mind and heart. You will notice the difference and others will too. The inside always precedes the outside.

22.01.2022 18 The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day. 19 But the way of the wicked is like total darkness. They have no idea what they are stumbling over. Proverbs 4:1819... TWO WAYS Righteousness brings ultimate clarity. Wickedness is blinding. You can walk in the light or try your luck stumbling around in the darkness and having no idea what you are falling over. There are two ways and the choice is yours but so are the results of your choice. Are you clear on which is going to be your way?

21.01.2022 "So Manoah asked him, When your words come true, what kind of rules should govern the boy’s life and work? Judges 13:12 VALUES QUESTION The angel of the LORD had appeared to Manoah's wife saying that she would have a son. ... 8 Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, saying, Lord, please let the man of God come back to us again and give us more instructions about this son who is to be born. Judges 13:8 The angel of the LORD reappeared and restated the initial instructions this is the wise question that Manoah asked. For those of you who are raising children or are an influence in the lives of children eg.Grandparents and close family friends. Having clarity around where the boundaries are is important. Granted that each family will have variations of the rules. Godly values and principles would unite us on the whole. What rules would you like to govern your child/ren's life and work?

19.01.2022 40 Jesus responded, Didnt I tell you that you would see Gods glory if you believe? 41 So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, Father, thank you for hearing me. 42 You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me. 43 Then Jesus shouted, Lazarus, come out! 44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth.... Jesus told them, Unwrap him and let him go! John 11:4044 HOPE FOR BELIEVERS Lazarus had been dead for 4 days. four days. "In contemporary Jewish belief, resuscitation was possible for three days after death. So Jesus delay (v. 6) sets the stage for an indisputable miracle." Jon L. Dybdahl, ed., Andrews Study Bible Notes (Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press, 2010), 1399. Raising the dead was not a problem for Jesus as he is the Son of God. This miraculous miracle occurred before many witnesses. There was also the raising of the widows son outside of the village of Nain. There was also Jesus own resurrection. Elsewhere in scripture Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life." The hope in the resurrection of believers at the second coming of Jesus continues to be a great source of strength and comfort to those who grieve the loss of loved ones.... All things are possible with God.

18.01.2022 CHECK THIS OUT Psalm 112 1 Praise the Lord! How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands.... 2 Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed. 3 They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever. 4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. 5 Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly. 6 Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. 7 They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. 8 They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly. 9 They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor. 10 The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted. Tyndale House Publishers, Holy Bible: New Living Translation (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, 2015), Ps 112. What stands out in these verses to you?

18.01.2022 12 The next day, the news that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city. A large crowd of Passover visitors 13 took palm branches and went down the road to meet him. They shouted, Praise God! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD! Hail to the King of Israel! 14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, fulfilling the prophecy that said: 15 Dont be afraid, people of Jerusalem. Look, your King is coming, riding on a donkeys colt.... 16 His disciples didnt understand at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy. But after Jesus entered into his glory, they remembered what had happened and realized that these things had been written about him. John 12:1216 SMALL DETAILS MATTER The prophecy being referred to here is from Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey riding on a donkeys colt." It is unusual that a king would be riding a donkey usually they rode a horse. So it is a very unique identifier that is out of the box. Once again it is just one of the many prophecies. (Including information about the birth of Jesus). That highlight the supernatural nature of Jesus. With all the evidence it is impossible to say that he was just a prophet or a good man. Jesus is the Son of God.

18.01.2022 We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life. 2 This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellows...hip with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy. 1 John 1:14 EYE WITNESS The veracity of the stories surrounding Jesus comes particularly because of the public nature of the healings and people he raised from the dead. The clincher surrounds the resurrection of Jesus and the hundreds of people that saw him after he rose from the dead. It was so undeniable that those who followed Jesus were prepared to die for what they had seen and heard about Jesus. They had even touched him and saw and touched the scars on his hands and side from the crucifixion. It was undeniable and they couldnt help but share the good news that Jesus was the long awaited Messiah. They were an EYE WITNESS.

17.01.2022 "Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit." 3 John 2 HEALTHY The importance of health cannot be underestimated. It is usually when we are unwell that we realise we take being healthy for granted. May you be both strong in spirit (Mental & spiritual connection with God) as well as healthy in body. Consider your health and treasure it. There is nothing quite like being HEALTHY.

16.01.2022 30 But I will give repeated thanks to the Lord, praising him to everyone. 31 For he stands beside the needy, ready to save them from those who condemn them. Ps 109:3031 STANDING WITH YOU Circumstances of life confront everyone. Depending on the problem some are better placed than others to respond out of strength if it is something that is within their wheelhouse. Its when it is outside our wheelhouse of experience and we are confronted with a situation that is in our weakness that we all have need. Sometimes others condemn us and sometimes we condemn ourselves. Either way praise God that when you are needy, he is STANDING WITH YOU.

16.01.2022 For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. ... There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Acts 4:1112 NO OTHER NAME Salvation is found in Jesus Christ. The forgiveness of sins is found in Jesus Christ. Eternal life is found in Jesus Christ. The foundation of Christianity is Jesus Christ. Followers of Jesus Christ are referred to as Christians. Salvation is found in NO OTHER NAME.

16.01.2022 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Matthew 15:8 HEART MATTERS Jesus was addressing people who were more concerned about their tradition than the direct commandments of God. The gap between lip service and where your heart is can be huge. In any relationship, including a relationship with God.... HEART MATTERS.

16.01.2022 "Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows." Isaiah 1:17... DO GOOD Looking to make a meaningful impact? Here is a great place to start. Look for opportunities today to DO GOOD!

15.01.2022 22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him. 23 He will die for lack of self-control; he will be lost because of his great foolishness. Proverbs 5:2223.... SELF CONTROL There is nothing good about evil. Sin so easily entangles you and suffocates the life you could and should have. When temptation comes to you exercise your self control. Think of the guidance that is available from God and his word and lean into the blessing of that.

15.01.2022 3 Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. 4 Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation. Proverbs 3:34... LOYALTY AND KINDNESS We are not talking about misguided loyalty here. The kind of loyalty that turns a blind eye to wrong doing and injustice. We are talking about healthy loyalty. Along with kindness these two attributes will bring favour with God and others. It also earns you a good reputation. Want to be action oriented? Who can you show loyalty and kindness to today?

14.01.2022 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel’s warning. Even so, we still want a king, they said. 20 We want to be like the nations around us. Our king will judge us and lead us into battle. 1 Samuel 8:1920 FOLLOWING THE CROWD? Samuel had given the people of Israel a warning from the LORD about what having an earthly King would mean for them. Even despite the drawbacks they wanted to press ahead with the plan.... They were rejecting the theocratic leadership of the LORD in order to be like the nations around them. Christians should have a voice in the public square. Let's not be silent when we have godly wisdom to contribute to the betterment of our communities and be intentional about not falling into the trap of being like everyone else.

14.01.2022 The disciples were amazed. Who is this man? they asked. Even the winds and waves obey him! Matthew 8:27 AUTHORITY AND MORE "Matthew 8 focuses on the complete authority of Jesus: He has authority over leprosy, paralysis, fever, demon possession, and even the elements that caused the storm. The contrast is stark: this humble, homeless, itinerant preacher has power and authority over all the forces of evil." Jon L. Dybdahl, ed., Andrews Study Bible Notes (Berrien Springs, M...I: Andrews University Press, 2010), 1260. Jesus was more than a healer, more than a teacher, more than a prophet. He is the Son of God. The Saviour of humanity. What he did was witnessed by thousands, written down by many and taught through the centuries. Jesus has AUTHORITY AND MORE.

13.01.2022 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 Appearance V's Heart It's better to judge a person by their character rather than their appearance. By the quality of the heart rather than the quality of the must haves. In a selfie obsessed culture it would be great to see a growing focus on character, heart and substance. It might not be sexy but it is the difference maker, the world changer and the planet shaker for substantive change in society.

13.01.2022 "Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christthe Son of the Fatherwill continue to be with us who live in truth and love." 2 John 3 GRACE, MERCY, PEACE Imagine these three things being truly present in your life. These are things that come from God and that you can have. Living in truth and love, ie.In connection with God, enables these things to be a reality. So if you are a follower of God, lean into these blessings. If you are not a ...follower of God the door is always open for you to make a decision to open your heart and place faith in God. Grace, mercy, peace! 50 Australian soldiers lost their lives at war in recent years however over 500 Aussie soldiers took their lives after returning. A royal commission has just been authorised by our government to work towards a better process for returning soldiers. Please pray for the families of those who have lost loved ones through suicide on their return. That God would enable them to experience grace, mercy and peace along with the soldiers who are struggling now because of all they have seen and experienced.

12.01.2022 16 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassionhow can God’s love be in that person? 1 John 3:1617 GIVE UP - LIFT UP A core principle of scripture is the idea of giving up and lifting up. Jesus gave up his life to lift us up. We are also encouraged to give up our lives to lift others up. It's being others focused. Involved in this is the principle of giving first and then receiving. There is joy associated with blessing others. Christianity is socially practical and brings happiness to others and ourselves. What can you give up and who can you lift up today?

12.01.2022 "Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. " Proverbs 30:5 SHIELDED When God says something you can trust its true. So claim Gods promises today. Need some extra protection? Then call on him and get SHIELDED.

12.01.2022 Psalm 106:35 (NLT): 3 There is joy for those who deal justly with others and always do what is right. 4 Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people; come near and rescue me. 5 Let me share in the prosperity of your chosen ones. ... Let me rejoice in the joy of your people; let me praise you with those who are your heritage. STANDARD The following words of an older friend have never left me. Whatever standard you set is exactly what you are going to get. It is far wiser for you to set your own standards that exceed expectations than to have others enact them for you. To do this you must first understand what the values are because standards are derived firstly from values. Secondly, standards are built around what is required in the situation and to what level of quality or excellence. No matter what the situation ensure that you deal justly with others and do what is right and then you will have joy. What are your STANDARDS? Godly standards will serve you well and be a blessing to others. Call on the Lord with all kinds of prayers and requests but also consider taking responsibility for your actions and the values and standards that inform your decisions. Keep Shining.

10.01.2022 2 "My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth! 3 He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber." Psalm 121:23... WATCHING OVER YOU It gives me great strength and courage no matter what I am going through to know that the LORD is watching over me. I may not know the answers to what Im facing but I know that no matter the journey... God is with me and that my help comes from him. You are not alone. The LORD is WATCHING OVER YOU.

10.01.2022 "So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth." 1 John 1:6 PRACTICING TRUTH Once you have experienced a connection with God and the blessing of living in the light. Why would you want to go back to spiritual darkness? Truth exists! Not to practice it doesn't make sense. If you have areas of your life that are not aligned with what you profess and you know it's downhill behaviour. Stop it by Intentionally deciding on practicing truth. Ask someone to help hold you accountable to your new choice.

09.01.2022 "The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions. Proverbs 28:1 BOLD AS LIONS Fear often holds us back from doing things that could bring great benefit. Fear of failure, fear of disappointing people, fear of what others may say, fear of the unknown and fear of it actually working out! In this passage we are reminded that if we have our faith and trust in God and are following him... we can be as BOLD AS LIONS!

09.01.2022 "David continued to succeed in everything he did, for the LORD was with him." 1 Samuel 18:14 SUCCESS There are a number of elements that contribute to success. The primary one for Christians is a connection to God. There is a great verse in the scriptures that says, "What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Romans 8:31... There is a confidence that comes from trusting in the LORD to help you.

07.01.2022 "Fire goes out without wood, and quarrels disappear when gossip stops." Proverbs 26:20 STOP THE GOSS Im reading through the book of Proverbs at the moment. So full of wise and actionable advice. ... Talking about other peoples private business and sharing things around that you know you probably shouldnt is a sure way to get yourself in trouble. If word gets back to that person about what you are doing... you are toast. Choose to be wise and STOP THE GOSS.

06.01.2022 "For only the godly will live in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it." Proverbs 2:21 GODLINESS Godliness I would suggest leads to integrity. Godliness comes from an openness to the work of God in you to transform you into a new person. A person who carries the values of God in their hearts and minds. These transform their actions and interactions. Integrity is where belief and action correlate. It' is recognisable and it is respected and brings blessing. Never underestimate the value of godliness!

06.01.2022 40 Jesus responded, Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe? 41 So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, Father, thank you for hearing me. 42 You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me. 43 Then Jesus shouted, Lazarus, come out! 44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth.... Jesus told them, Unwrap him and let him go! John 11:4044 HOPE FOR BELIEVERS Lazarus had been dead for 4 days. four days. "In contemporary Jewish belief, resuscitation was possible for three days after death. So Jesus’ delay (v. 6) sets the stage for an indisputable miracle." Jon L. Dybdahl, ed., Andrews Study Bible Notes (Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press, 2010), 1399. Raising the dead was not a problem for Jesus as he is the Son of God. This miraculous miracle occurred before many witnesses. There was also the raising of the widows son outside of the village of Nain. There was also Jesus own resurrection. Elsewhere in scripture Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life." The hope in the resurrection of believers at the second coming of Jesus continues to be a great source of strength and comfort to those who grieve the loss of loved ones.... All things are possible with God.

05.01.2022 " A wise person chooses the right road; a fool takes the wrong one." Ecclesiastes 10:2 THE RIGHT ROAD Its the age old question, "Which road should we take?" Well that depends on where you are going, why you are going and on whos authority are you going. A wise person seeks Gods leading and endeavours to stay in step with his leading. The right road is not always easy to distinguish. However it is worth taking the time to choose the right road than end up being a fool who takes the wrong one that comes to a dead end. The right road is a life spent with God. That road goes on for eternity.

05.01.2022 10 Then the leading priests decided to kill Lazarus, too, 11 for it was because of him that many of the people had deserted them and believed in Jesus. John 12:1011 STUBBORN TO TRUTH It is pretty hard to deny the truth of seeing Lazarus who had died then raised to life by Jesus in a very public situation after four days dead in a tomb walking around. However the leading priests decided they wanted to kill Jesus and Lazarus. The main reason... jealousy! People were belie...ving in Jesus as the Son of God. The one they had been waiting for as prophesied in scripture. The very scriptures they taught about yet had a predetermined viewpoint that excluded Jesus as the one. It is important to hold your position but at the same time keep an open mind in case events happen in a slightly different way than you expected. The reality was that Jesus fulfilled the prophecies in scripture. But there are always some who know the scriptures but are STUBBORN TO TRUTH. See more

04.01.2022 "Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures." John 10:9. I AM THE GATE Jesus is using a story where he is the Good Shepherd and those that believe in him are the Sheep. The Good Shepherd loves and cares for the sheep and is prepared to lay his life down for them. Those who accept Jesus as their Shepherd/Saviour will be saved. ... There are many gates we can choose from as we live our lives. However Jesus is the one who saves humanity and gives true freedom and life. So what are you waiting for... come on in through the gate of Jesus.

04.01.2022 "May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love." Jude 2 MORE AND MORE What should we have more and more of that would be a blessing to everyone? Gods mercy, peace and love! Just picture what that would be like in your life. The truth is that each of us can have that because that is what God offers us. Lets open ourselves up for the things that really matter MORE AND MORE.

04.01.2022 "Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honour." Proverbs 29:23 HUMILIATION VS HUMILITY The problem with pride is that it corners you into arrogance. Spoken or unspoken. Pride places you above others rather than with others. Humility on the other hand is true nobility. It is not a denigration of yourself or your abilities but it is the attitude in which you carry yourself. It is valuing the other person, it is others focused not self focused. Ultimately humility brings honour. So choose to move with humility rather than experience humiliation.

04.01.2022 Psalm 91:1416 (NLT): 14 The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. 15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. ... 16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. IN TROUBLE People often ask, Where is God in my trouble? The answer is....he is with you. Well it doesnt feel like it? Of course...you are the one that is in the middle of trouble. You are feeling the trouble. I dont want to make light of the situation of those who are in trouble. Rather to remind you that you can trust in God to be with you through the trouble. How God responds is not something that we can fully understand as he knows far more than we could ever know. You can be certain that those who love the Lord and trust in his name will be protected. They will be rescued, they will be honoured, they will be rewarded with long life, the will be given his salvation. Trust in the Lord and his word when you are IN TROUBLE.

03.01.2022 "Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me." John 12:26 FOLLOW = HONOUR These are the words of Jesus. The word follow is a verb. It involves action. So what does following Jesus mean in practical terms? - Believe in him.... - Be Holy Spirit filled. - Be transformed by him. - Be empowered by him. - Be emboldened by him. - Be an ambassador of him. - Be a sharer of the Good News of salvation in him. You will notice that in the above list, most of the items involve being willing to receive and then respond. Followers of Jesus want to be in his company. To be where he is....and if you are with Jesus God the Father will honour anyone who serves Jesus. FOLLOW = HONOUR! See more

02.01.2022 ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Matthew 15:8 HEART MATTERS Jesus was addressing people who were more concerned about their tradition than the direct commandments of God. The gap between lip service and where your heart is can be huge. In any relationship, including a relationship with God.... HEART MATTERS.

02.01.2022 "One wise person is stronger than ten leading citizens of a town!" Ecclesiastes 7:19 BE THE ONE WISE Seek to be wise first and then to lead second. That way you will have a far greater influence within the circles you move in. Seek Godly wisdom and you will have a lasting impact. BE THE ONE WISE!

01.01.2022 Luke 23:4048 (NLT): 40 But the other criminal protested, Dont you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die? 41 We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasnt done anything wrong. 42 Then he said, Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom. 43 And Jesus replied, I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise. The Death of Jesus 44 By this time it was about noon, and darkness fell across the whole land until three oclock. 45 The light fr...om the sun was gone.
