by Jim Hughes Prov. 21:3 The LORD is more pleased when we do what is just and right than when we give him sacrifices. Being is better than doing. The Lord wants us to be genuine in our souls when we act like children of God. It’s not too hard to put on […]

by Mary C. Findley Jesus and the disciples attended Jewish synagogues and temple worship. These services included stringed, brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments.

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy” (Matthew 5:7). It is not meet that the man who will not forgive should be forgiven, nor shall he who will not give to the poor have his own wants relieved. God will measure to us with our own bushels, […]

by Precarious Yates It’s one of the basic concepts of Christianity and one of the most important things we can ever do, yet often it’s neglected and it’s more difficult than we consider. Forgiveness.

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me” (Micah 7:8). This may express the feelings of a man or woman downtrodden and oppressed. Our enemy may put out our light for […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “He that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap Life Everlasting” (Galatians 6:8).
