“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

Hid In Christ
I recently read, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

What Are You Leaning On?
You may not feel like you really lean on anything, but think of when you are scared or stressed; what do you turn to? Our flesh wants to turn to things that numb the pain, such as drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, sleeping, binging television or social media, online shopping, and anything else that brings distraction.… Continue reading What Are You Leaning On?
You Have To Let Him
How many times have you been hurt or confused and prayed for comfort or help but turned it down when it came? Often, we pray, but when God comes through, we don’t let Him. We either don’t like what He says or are prideful and decide to do things ourselves. We don’t let Him work. … Continue reading You Have To Let Him

As Christians, charity should be a prominent characteristic of our… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Charity
