• Resolutions: One Whose Eye Sees Clearly

  A repost from last year.  May God bless you and yours this coming year.   Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not resort to sorcery as at other times, but turned his face toward the desert. When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe,…

• The Right Kind of Righteousness: Conclusion

  But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.  This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely…

• The Right Kind of Righteousness: A Gracious Memory Leads to a Better Future

  At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.  But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of…

• The Right Kind of Righteousness

  Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker? – Job 4:17 (NIV) Righteousness is talked about often in scripture.  Men have written about the righteous God, His righteous people and the righteousness that comes through faith.  God has given us His righteousness through His Son and…

• Gardening Tips: No Need for Seed

  Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.  Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in…
