Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth - he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do, No king is saved by …
Love Much…
There is nothing that I can do to earn the love of Jesus. He already loves me. My actions are in thanksgiving for the love that he has for me. I serve him because he loves me. We find Scripture that supports this in the story of the sinful woman who washes Jesus’ feet with …

Asking God For A Sign
It's a Wednesday, and I've still got Sunday's sermon running through my mind. Some of our pastor's last words were, "Be honest, take stock in where you put your trust. Is your faith - faith, or is it lip service? Ask God for your sign." Okay, I'm going to be honest. When I really want …
