Abide In Me
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, Unless it abides in the Vine, neither can you, Unless you abide in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, bears much fruit; For without Me, you can do nothing...

Don’t Negotiate God’s Will

The Value of Contentment
“For I have learned in whatever situation I am in to be content” Philippians 4:11 Contentment has been a personal struggle for me for quite some time. So when I ponder the words of the Apostle Paul about his growth with contentment, it gives me hope that I too, can...
Rise Up & Pray
It is difficult to watch the news. We see violent civil unrest raging across the United States. Lines of demarcation have been drawn between political parties, diverse groups, races, and religions. Recently, we were in shock and disbelief as we watched unspeakable...
Who Are You, O Mountain?
When the Bible speaks of “Moving Mountains,” it is speaking of difficulties in our lives. Some believers grow discouraged because they think that if they are attempting to live for God and live right, that their life should be comfortable and easy, when in fact, the...
