1 Cor. 4:15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Christians can be really weird.

Eph. 2:8,9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. This is the stumbling stone of the gospel, we are saved by faith and our works have nothing to do with it. At the end of …
ENJOY YOUR TRIP

GET PLANTED
GET PLANTED Psa. 1:2-3 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water,That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. I'll …
STUNTED AND DWARFED
STUNTED AND DWARFED Grow up into him in all things. Ephesians 4:15 Christianity is never meant to be stagnant. We are intended to be ever changing, always growing, being transformed into the image of God's beloved Son. We are like the rest of God's creation. We respond to spiritual nutrients just like the plants respond …
DON’T QUENCH THE SPIRIT
DON'T QUENCH THE SPIRIT 1Th. 5:16-23 ¶ Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. ¶ Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. ¶ Now may …
