Kindness

In Matthew chapter 6 Jesus gives us the Cure for Anxiety within the Sermon on the Mount passage. He says, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear.Isn’t there more to life than food and more to the body…
Salvation Mountain
Salvation Mountain When we first came to Jesus, He took our rags and turned them into riches. How? He took our unrighteousness, which we had no way of dealing with, and exchanged it for His righteousness, which cannot be earned but is a gift. We call it Salvation. But even though we are saved from…

The Gap
Jesus was in the tomb for three days and we all know the story well. We celebrate the death and the resurrection and so we should. But what went on in those three days, the gap, is just as powerful! Revelation 1:18 depicts Jesus in heaven and He says, “I am the Living One; I…

Christmas’s conclusion is marked by the feast of Epiphany (usually January 6), the day Christians celebrate the…
