Psalm 21:13 When someone hurts us, it’s in our nature to want to retaliate. To make them feel, not only the same, but worse pain than they caused us.

Spetember 8th – Romans 7:18
Romans 7:18 Christian author, Lysa TerKeurst once wrote, “You are more than the sum total of your feelings and perfectly capable of that little gift from Jesus called self-control.” Being a Christian means no more excuses for sin or being satisfied with merely the desire to do better.

John 16:33 I love the quote by preacher John Bunyan which says, “Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that roared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.” The world is full of temptations and trials.… Continue reading June 12th – John 16:33
December 22nd – Isaiah 52:7-10
Isaiah 52:7-10 It never fails. Every Christmas my mother buys socks for the guys in our family. And even though they give her a hard time, in reality they’re thankful for the fresh supply.

November 24th – 1 Corinthians 15:57
1 Corinthians 15:57 Charles Spurgeon once said, “The best moment of a Christian’s life is his last one, because it is the one that is nearest heaven.” For followers of Jesus, death isn’t to be feared, but to be celebrated. Because we know to be absent from the body is to be present with the… Continue reading November 24th – 1 Corinthians 15:57
October 26th – 1 John 5:19
1 John 5:19 Even though God is sovereign, Satan is the current ruler over the world. Meaning his hand is in every wickedness which permeates the earth.

But as children of the most high God,… Continue reading October 26th – 1 John 5:19
