The Narrow Way
Everyone who comes to Christ receives forgiveness and begins a relationship with God that lasts forever. However, because of sin we find that many people prefer the broad way that ultimately leads to destruction.
The Golden Rule
God did good for us in providing Jesus when we didn’t deserve it and could not have earned it. In a similar way, we do good to others, not because they earned it or deserve it, but because this demonstrates the same grace we have received.
Ask, Seek, Knock
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or […]
Dogs, Pigs, and Pearls
“Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.” Matthew 7:6 If the title didn’t get your attention, I am sure reading the verse did!

Often, we are anxious and worried. Meditate on the truths that Jesus reminds us of here to help our faith and trust grow.

Two Masters
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
