Trust the Great Physician

"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work" (James 3:16). Have you ever noticed that the easiest place to remain self-centered is at home? There's an incentive to be lovely with others, but with your family you are tempted to allow...
Need A Burdened Removed?
The writer of Hebrews tells us what to do when burdens hinder our progress: …Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us. We do this by...
Doing All Things
I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me. (Phil. 4:13 KJV) Paul said the reason he was capable of doing everything required of him was because the strength or ability he used wasn't his own but another's. He said all conditions and situations he...
