“For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing His riches on all who call on Him.” - Romans 10:12 The reason that the wise men and others were able to see Jesus upon His birth was because they were honest enough to admit they need a Savior.

“The Lord will work out His plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me.” - Psalm 138:8 As we learned yesterday, not every test is from the devil, meaning that not every test is evil or a punishment.

by Ministry Support on July 31st, 2022
“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

by Ministry Support on November 27th, 2020
