LIVE LOVE

God's word is the answer for all of life. You have questions? He is the answer. God's word is the mailbox that holds many of his thoughts toward you... maybe you should go check the mail. God's word is the recipe for right relationships. God's word is the GPS that will talk to you on the way to your destination. So while everyone else is looking around, getting lost, and trying to find their meaning and purpose in temporary things, turn your eyes to the KING... Everyday is a good reason to celebrate the reason why Jesus lived, died, and rose again. Turn your eyes to the Word of God, where He will be able to show you what you do not know. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me t...

I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS; I WILL COME TO YOU. John 14:18

Sabbath is the time set aside to do nothing so that we can receive everything, to set aside our anxious attempts to make ourselves useful, to set aside our tense restlessness, to set aside our media-saturated boredom. Sabbath is the time to receive silence and let it deepen into gratitude, to receive quiet into which forgotten faces and voices unobtrusively make themselves present, to receive the days of the just completed week and absorb the wonder and miracle still reverberating from each one, to receive our Lord's amazing grace.

But Sabbath is distinguished from the first six days of each week by being holy, a day set aside to be present to God...

Wilberforce wrote, "I find that books alienate my heart from God as much as anything. I have been framing a plan of study for myself, but let me remember but one thing is needful, that if my heart cannot be kept in a spiritual state without so much prayer, meditation, Scripture reading, etc., as are incompatible with study, I must seek first the righteousness of God. Everything was to be surrendered for his spiritual advance. I fear that I have not studied the Scriptures enough. Surely in the summer recess I ought to read the Scriptures an hour or two every day, besides prayer, devotional reading and meditation. God will prosper me better if I wait on Him. The experience of all good Christians shows that without constant prayer and watchfulness the life of God in the soul stagnates. I would look up to God to make the means effectual. I fear that my devotions are too much hurried, that I do not read Scripture enough. I must grow in grace; I must love God more; I must feel the power...
