    Read: Psalm 37:1-11 1 Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; 2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Sometimes we wonder why “those who are evil” prosper instead of  those who are good. We can probably…

    Read: 1 John 4:7-21 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command:…

  • Does God have favorites?

    Read: Psalm 145:8-21 18 The LORD is near to all who call on him,  to all who call on him in truth.  “The LORD is near to all who call on him….” But  the verse doesn’t stop there. It goes on to add a qualifier: “to all who call on him in truth.”…

  • God loves sinners

    Read: Romans 5:1-11 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This is the good news that many religious people either do not get or simply  ignore. Why do I say that? Well, most professing Christians I met think that by doing…

    Read: Exodus 20:1-17  1 And God spoke all these words:  2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Many professing Christians think that if they observe the Ten Commandments then, when they die,  at the “Pearly Gates” St. Peter will let them enter…
