Isaiah 40:1-7 This year comfort is in short supply. But it is greatly needed with many suffering sickness, death, division, anger, and disappointment. Yet we needn't despair.

November 22nd – Lamentations 3:22-23
Lamentations 3:22-23 Everything in life has an expiration date, even us. But there is one thing that never dies. And that is the love God both feels and demonstrates to those He calls His own.

November 8th – Galatians 6:2
Galatians 6:2 Vincent Van Gogh once said, “Close friends are truly life’s treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.” One of God’s greatest gifts… Continue reading November 8th – Galatians 6:2
October 30th – 1 John 3:18
1 John 3:18 I’ve heard it said that words without action are like a heart without a beat; both are useless. The apostle John tells us that as God’s children, we need to be doers. Because for a Christian, the word love should be a verb, not a noun. It’s easy to use our mouths… Continue reading October 30th – 1 John 3:18
October 13th – 1 John 3:10
1 John 3:10 John tells us that there are two kinds of people. Those who truly love and follow God, and those who don’t. And you can tell who is who just by looking at their lives.

October 7th – Ephesians 5:1
Ephesians 5:1 When my son was little he used to love to imitate everything my husband did. From stomping around in his work boots, to pretending he was drinking coffee before going to work.

September 19th – Leviticus 19:9
Leviticus 19:9 Caring for the needy is an idea we can all agree on. But when it comes to putting that idea into action, how many of us step up to the plate? As Christians being charitable isn’t just a suggestion, God says it’s an obligation. When the ancient Israelites harvested their fields, they did… Continue reading September 19th – Leviticus 19:9
April 11th – 1 John 4:16
1 John 4:16 As Christians, each day we have the awesome opportunity to experience God’s love and work in our lives.

A love demonstrated by His… Continue reading April 11th – 1 John 4:16
Keep Fervent in Your Love – 1 Peter 4
1 Peter 4 Some people mistakenly believe that being a Christian gives you a “get out of jail free card” when it comes to the trials of life. But adversity is a result of living in a fallen world, and believers aren’t immune from the pain of suffering. And in this chapter, Peter tells us… Continue reading Keep Fervent in Your Love – 1 Peter 4
The Qualities Of Love – 1 Corinthians 13
1 Corinthians 13 1 Corinthians 13 is one of best known passages in the Bible on the subject of love. It's read at countless weddings, including my own. But weddings and romance weren't on Paul's mind in this teaching. Instead it’s aimed at a church full of division, whose focus was on the gifts… Continue reading The Qualities Of Love – 1 Corinthians 13
