MERRY MONDAY BY PARRIS Proverbs 31:25: “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and SHE LAUGHS AT THE TIME TO COME” I just returned from our annual women’s retreat entitled: “SHE” We had decided months before that we would go over Proverbs 31. I had felt that that “lady wisdom” of late has become …
Hab.3:4 – His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand, And there is the hiding of His power. The power of God is all around us, it is just not apparent to most. It is hidden by the blindness that effects every person born in this fallen world that we …

Ps.93:5 -Your testimonies are fully confirmed; Holiness befits Your house, O LORD, forevermore. Just as Israel kept being pulled into the world’s quagmire, the church tends to struggle with the foolish distractions of this world’s culture.

1 Peter 2:12 – Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Lk.7:14-16 – Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has …
