We should be grateful for God's grace
As I get older, I seem to learn more lessons from the little. That's true in many areas of life, but especially in spiritual matters. Recently, I have learned a little more about what grace is. Last month, I put up three bird feeders in my backyard. I put out the first feeder, and I did not see a bird for two weeks. But then I noticed that it was empty. Something had eaten the ...
Defining love

Trust in the Lord to deliver

What is included in 'all these things?'
I was talking to a friend the other day, and the discussion went to Matthew 6:33 where it states "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you."
The Lord can be trusted with out lives
