Who is Jesus? “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,” (Isaiah 9:6). My heart was heavy the evening I typed these words. I was lying next to my ill child and…
Who is Jesus? “Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty,’” (John 6:35). Sometimes, on weekend mornings when I’m home alone, I find myself sitting at the table, coffee growing cold in my cup for the third time (if you know…
Who is Jesus? “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight,” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Who is Jesus? “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me,” (John 10:14). Life today is loud and busy. The buzz of notifications, our hectic schedules, the flooding of our feeds with opinions about what we should be doing, how we should think, or who we should be is…
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus,” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). Tis the season of gratitude!

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me,” (Psalm 51:10-12). I admit I have been suffering from a lack of motivation…
“…if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand…
“Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief. My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak…I am forgotten as though I were dead; I have become…
Kinsman-Redeemer: a male relative whose responsibility was to act on behalf of a relative who was in trouble, danger, or need “You came near when I called you, and you said, ‘Do not fear.’ You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life,” (Lamentations 3:57-58). I do not like to ask others for help. Instead,…
“For if anyone considers himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Let each person examine his own work, and then he can take pride in himself alone, and not compare himself with someone else. For each person will have to carry his own load. Let the one who is taught the word share all…
