James 5:7,8 – Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near. James compares the farmer waiting …
MERRY MONDAY BY PARRIS “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.” — Matthew 9:12. When I was growing up, calling a doctor wasn’t the first on the list. I mean we had to be pretty bad off. I’m not saying that was wrong of my parents, it just was …
John 1:18 – No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. I guess closeness or intimacy doesn’t get any greater than this. John is describing the relationship between the Father and the Son as being so intimate that Jesus …
Ps.40:11 – You, LORD, will not withhold Your compassion from me;Your mercy and Your truth will continually watch over me. This was a whole new experience for Jesus.

1 Cor.2:1,4,5 – My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the secrets of God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom….The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments …
Jn. 15:1 – I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Jn. 15:4,5 – Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches; …
MERRY MONDAY BY PARRIS “And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like …
