I Have been reading the book of John and wonder if Jesus ever rolled his eyes. He was fully man, right? [...]

God able to strengthen when we are weak
People seek love in many places. When we love someone we have so many feelings and emotions for that person.
We are to preach the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
Jesus once said that we are to “render unto Caesar what is due Caesar and render unto God what is due God.” The meaning behind this parable is easy to understand. We must pay our taxes and follow the laws the government lays out for us, while at the same time tithing and obeying God's word in our lives. It was the ideal way to live then, and it is the way we are called as Christians to live today.
The motto of the Boy Scouts is to always be prepared. It is a good creed to live by, as you never know exactly what is going to happen. Boy Scouts always make sure they have everything on hand they could possibly need for any eventuality out in the world. Their whole objective is to never be caught off guard. You should live your life that way, too, in order to provide protection and security to yourself and your family. This is especially important when it comes to faith, as it is said that Jesus will come as a thief in the night, so you must always be prepared for his return.
As Christians, we are called on by God to the role of serving others -- and not only in the area of finances. We are to serve others with every opportunity we can find, and to always be looking for opportunities to do so. And next to witnessing to the testimony of the Gospel, it is a primary function as children of God as well as loving God with all of our hearts and souls and minds.

Shining Perspective
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”~Matthew 19:26
Miracles come in all shapes and sizes. How quickly I can forget the miracles that God has richly blessed me with. Recently I have experienced so much of God’s grace. The precious gift of God’s [...]
