My Father’s House
““Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will... Continue Reading →
Steadfast Love
For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Psalm 108:4 God's love is steadfast.

If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 1 Corinthians 3:18 I am someone who likes to know things, whether it is Godly wisdom or worldly knowledge.

Dwelling
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord;my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
