The Light
Light expels darkness. As far as the light reaches there is no darkness. In John 8:12 Jesus spoke out and said “I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have thelightoflife.” Then again in John 9:5 he reiterates “As long as I am in…

Firm Foundation
“I will build my life upon this rock; it is a firm foundation.” Jesus Christ is a firm foundation, unshakable. Jesus, being fully God, became fully human to walk in our flesh and face every temptation known to man; every temptation! That means there is nothing we can face or come up against that Jesus…

Thanksgiving Cornucopia
When I think back from my history classes about the pilgrims and their early struggles in the new world, I remember their first Thanksgiving. They were in a whole new world with people that didn’t look or act like they did. They were fish out of water so to speak. Some of the pilgrims sought…

Jesus, Have It All
I recently listened to the song “Jesus Have It All” by Jeremy Riddle, and it struck a chord deep inside me. It’s been my heart’s cry for some time now. The song is beautiful, and a link to it is provided below. As I was listening to the song, I echoed its prayer: Jesus, Have…
