Jn.6:20 – But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” Several times in the gospels Jesus uses the phrase “I am”. Of course this immediately reminds us of Moses and the burning bush. It is a direct and obvious claim to deity; Christ is saying in essence,“I am the Lord”. The …
Mk.4:39 – “Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” I wonder how much time I have spent worrying about things that never happened. The disciples were worried about what this storm was going to do to them. …

Merry Friday by Parris “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful”. Col 3:15 The foundation stone of the New Testament is “for grace ye are saved through faith, not of yourself for it is the gift of God”. …
Ps. 34:12-14 – Do you want to live a long, good life, enjoying the beauty that fills each day? Then never speak a lie or allow wicked words to come from your mouth. Keep turning your back on every sin, and make “peace” your life motto. Practice being at peace with everyone. Shalom is used …
1 Cor.1:3 – May joyous grace and endless peace be yours continually from our Father God and from our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! I love the writings of the Apostle Paul.
