Think about the one who endured such opposition from sinners so that you won’t be discouraged and you won’t give up. In your struggle against sin, you haven’t resisted yet to the point of shedding blood, and you have forgotten the encouragement that addresses you as sons and daughters: My child, don’t make light of the Lord’sContinue reading “Discipline.”

Who do you serve?
“Stop collecting treasures for your own benefit on earth, where moth and rust eat them and where thieves break in and steal them.

You observe religious days and monthsContinue reading “known by God”
