Thought for the morning of Wed July 6, 2016

Verse: “Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” — pr 1:33
Thought: Divine love is rendered conspicuous when it shines in the midst of judgments. Fair is that lone star which smiles through the rifts of the thunder clouds; bright is the oasis which blooms in the wilderness of sand; so fair and so bright is love in the midst of wrath. When the Israelites provoked the Most High by their continued idolatry, he punished them by withholding both dew and rain, so..

Top 7 Bible Verses About Hobbies

Here are seven Bible verses that might relate to hobbies.
First Corinthians 10:31 “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”Hobbies are a great way to unwind. They help us take a break from the daily grind of life. Some like fishing. Others enjoy hunting. I like playing the guitar.

Top 7 Bible Verses About Stubbornness

Here are seven Bible verses relating to stubbornness in the human heart.
Philippians 2:3 “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”I don’t believe you can be humble and conceited at the same time.

It’s Time To Get Serious

April 13, 2016

Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found. Psalm 32:6

The Psalmist implies that there comes a time when God cannot be found. A time when God hides Himself. A time that I believe may have begun in America.

Our nation is in a mess. Why? Could it be because America is losing God’s blessing? His favor. Could our sin be provoking His judgment? Judgment that is not necessarily in the form of a nuclear dirty bomb, or another ISIS attack, or an economic col..
