Obstacles of Purpose

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

I Am

“Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭58‬ Jesus, the deity of God in the flesh was “I Am”. The religious leaders tried to stone Him for these words. “I Am” was the name God gave to Moses to tell the children of Israel, when Moses... Continue Reading →

A light in the darkness

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭ A candle in the day shines no brighter than the sun.

Enslaved by Choices

We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. Romans 6:6 Sin was brought to nothing at the cross so that we would not have to be enslaved. I realize that there are things like... Continue Reading →

Refining and Testing

“And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’; and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’””‭‭ Zechariah‬ ‭13‬:‭9‬ ‭ I admit... Continue Reading →

Lay the Weight Down
