From now on, everyone will consider me highly favored        because the mighty one has done great things for me.Holy is his name.    He shows mercyContinue reading “who I am”

Give you

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation that makes God known to you. I pray that the eyes of your heart will have enough light to see what is the hope of God’s call, what is the richness of God’sContinue reading “Give you”

The Law.

Those who have sinned outside the Law will also die outside the Law, and those who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law. It isn’t the ones who hear the Law who are righteous in God’s eyes. It is the ones who do what the Law says who will be treated asContinue reading “The Law.”

You are holding on to my name, and you didn’t break faith with me even at the time that Antipas, my faithfulContinue reading “Change…”

Believe?

At that time some of the legal experts and the Pharisees requested of Jesus, “Teacher, we would like to see a sign from you.” But he replied, “An evil and unfaithful generation searches for a sign, but it won’t receive any sign except Jonah’s sign. Just as Jonah was in the whale’s belly for three days and threeContinue reading “Believe?”
