Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury. At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores.  As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open […]

“Spend all you have for loveliness, buy it and never count the cost; And for a breath of ecstasy, give all you have been, or could be.” – (‘Barter’ by Sara Teasdale) Jesus told his disciples, “I assure you that everyone who has given up all that they have for my sake will receive in return

Let us always pray; for It is God’s desire for His people to draw near to Him and make their requests known. John 4:8 “In every situation, pray with thanksgiving, and present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.” Philippians

Jesus taught, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Matthew 16:24-25 “Whoever does

Is There Only One Way to Heaven?  This is what Jesus said.  “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:1-4 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 “Whoever

Listen to what God says to our world and this generation. “Look! God’s dwelling place will be among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning

Walk the Narrow Road Jesus told us in his Sermon on the Mount. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 1 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Matthew
