No Turning Back /8
But God. Christ has regarded my helpless estate and has shed His own blood for my soul. No turning back. He is risen. He is risen indeed. #NoTurningBack #Easter2024
Love In Deed
Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. 1 John 3:18b ESV Love defines a Christian. As People of the Way we are called to love as Christ loves us. Realistically, sacrificially, purposefully, willingly, and absolutely. We don’t learn to do this from television shows or societal trends, but […]
Be Holy
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:14-16 ESV We know that God, and only God, is truly […]

As God is faithful, let us also be faithful.” See the full post here. 2024 began […]
2024 /5

And He will judge us for everything we do, including every hidden thing, whether good or evil.” Ecclesiates 12:13-14, 2 Peter 16-18 […]
Paul In Rome
So a time was set, and on that day a large number of people came to Paul’s lodging. He explained and testified about the Kingdom of God and tried to persuade them about Jesus from the Scriptures. Using the law of Moses and the books of the prophets, he spoke to them from morning until […]
God’s Transcendent Yes
For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” He is the one whom Silas, Timothy, and I preached to you, and as God’s ultimate “Yes,” He always does what He says. For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our […]
