CONSISTENT WITH THE WORD

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. PSALM 119:105 NIV When we neglect Scripture and don’t build it into our everyday lives, we can be all too easily deceived by the enemy. But the better we know God’s Word, the more readily we will be able to identify our…

REJECTING SELF CONDEMNATION

If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts. 1 JOHN 3:20 How often have you heard someone say, “I know God has forgiven me, but I will never be able to forgive myself”? Perhaps you’ve said it yourself. The issues that cause us shame and guilt are varied, but…

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—what are . . . human beings that you should care for them?
