We Have Passed From Death Unto Life… By the simple act, or thought, of hatred we are like a murderer. Hate is a strong word and should not be used, but if it be used we should know we are committing murder in the eyes of Jesus Christ. We are outside of Him and are outside of His love.

What Will You Do In The Day… God never leaves us. God is always with us. No matter what we do. No matter the evil we do, God has His hand outstretched for us to take it and turn towards Him and away from the trespasses and inequities that we do.

For all this His anger is not…

The Works That I Do… How do you know if someone is authentic in their life? Anyone can tell a story, paint pictures with words and create landscapes in the mind of the listeners.
