Chosen…

So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in theContinue reading “Chosen…”

Written on our hearts…

“Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, myContinue reading “Written on our hearts…”

It looks exactly like what “Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Community” Daytona Beach, FL, has in their church. My friend attended there recently, and got a copy of what they hand out, and here’s what it says: WeContinue reading “Welcome to our church…”

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oathContinue reading “Guaranteed…”

Steps…

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand. I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. He isContinue reading “Steps…”
