Love Brings Life

“We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. ” 1 John 3:14 Everything Jesus was, everything He taught, and everything He did, was a manifestation of God’s love. The love of God enriches the lives of everyone who allows Him to pour it into their hearts. It is possible to experience the love of God firsthand and to allow your life to become a channel of God’s love. This is the wisest way we can choose to live. The opposite of love is hate. Hate follows the path of bitterness, dissension and torn...

God’s Love Has No Price

Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!” Acts 8:20 Many people believe that money can buy them everything. While this may be true of material possessions, it cannot buy things like peace, joy and fullness of life. These qualities have no price tags. They are God’s gifts of grace to us.

Through His death and resurrection Jesus not only gave you life, but also a reason to live. Through His Holy Spirit He provides you with skills to cope with life. Choose life and live it...

Find Joy in the Small Things

“Everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.” 1 Timothy 4:4 Many of us tend to take things for granted – the colors of flowers, the songs of birds, the beauty of sunrise – these are all things that many people barely notice. It is only when you begin to contemplate a life without these blessings that you realize how colorless and uninteresting it would be if they were absent. We should cherish and appreciate every blessing in our lives. We should learn to appreciate the wonders of God’s Creation and...
