When we don’t just talk about grace but we cling to it…

  • Good morning! I’ve been reading through the book of Jeremiah…it’s so sad to read this part of the Story where God’s people have wandered off…chosen things that do not satisfy over the only One who can satisfy.  How they’ve turned their backs on the One who loves them the most, only to give themselves over…

  • Good Morning!! So, this morning, I’m wondering… when we pray, are we getting ~Up Close and Personal~ with God? Are we intimate with the One we are approaching? Here’s the verse I looked at…the conversation {or prayer} that Jesus had with His Father in the Garden of Gethsemane.  In the verse we’re going to look at…Mark 14:36… …His soul…

      Good morning!  “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding…
