Love and Faithfulness to the Lord
We all know what it feels like to love and be loved. We may also know what it feels like to love and not feel loved in return. Does God feel this with us?

God is worthy of the most valuable & useful things in our lives. He deserves priority over everything. We are insufficient to control anything in our lives. He alone is powerful & trustworthy. We have no right to hold on to our possessions, because everything we have was given to us by Him in the first place & everything belongs to Him anyway.

When the priests walked into that room, they were supposed to see God in their minds eye: His BEAUTY; His WORTH; His LIGHT; His SACRIFICE; His GLORY. After-all, it was His house & they were in His Presence!
Who Do You Serve?
We all must choose whether to serve God or a different master. We’re all a slave to someone or something. We can only serve one because all other masters are in opposition to God. No matter which one we choose, there will always be distractions & others competing for our …
Who God Created Us To Be
God created Adam & Eve, but does He really individually create each of us? Is He involved in every detail of our being or does He just set things in motion & let nature take over? God told Moses that He created our mouths, eyes, & ears & that He …
They Loved Us First
Every year on Mother’s Day my mom tells me that she loves me and that I am such a good mom. I always think, if I am, it’s only because you were a good mom first. You taught me everything I know. Not only that, but you are teaching my kids …
