Today’s Scripture: Isaiah 40:8 KJV‬ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.  There are many things that we put our trust in today.

But, all these things will fade; t...

Today’s Scripture: ‭‭1 Corinthians 16:13 NIV‬ Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.  Family, there is something unique about having the stance of being on your guard.

Today’s Scripture: ‭‭Psalms 34:10 NIV‬ The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. The Bible says that those who seek the Lord lack nothing good.

Today’s Scripture: ‭John 1:4 NIV‬ In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  God said light be in Genesis 1:3, but he never had to say darkness be. Why?

Darkness is the absence of light; light gives life; God is the life-gi...

Today’s Scripture: ‭‭‭1 John 1:5-7 NIV‬ This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

Today’s Scripture: ‭‭ John 11:10 NIV‬ It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light. Light is imperative. Our world would be in peril if we had no light.

The sun is the clo...
