Daily encouragement for Christians
Does the opinion of your fellow man cause your faith to stagger? Do you roll along with the majority or stand on your own foundation? While Paul and Barnabas were on mission in Lystra, Paul spotted a certain man who had been crippled from birth. He could tell the man had enough faith to be […]
How honored was the Virgin Mary to be chosen to be the mother of Christ! Out of all the young women at the time, God chose to send the Spirit to Mary. How much more could a person be blessed than with the honor of being used to birth the Savior of the world! Do […]
“Say to the people of Isra’el: ‘I am ADONAI [the Lord]. I will free you from the forced labor of the Egyptians, rescue you from their oppression, and redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. I will take you as my people, and I will be your God.’” “Moshe (Moses) said this […]
Autocorrect! Who is behind that annoying creation? I’m usually convinced it is run by Satan because of the way my words are changed.
