Forgiveness

Love is Patient

It is so very easy to become frustrated and angry with those we "love," but what does having a true Biblical love mean during frustrating times?

Christmas Love
Christmas is the story of true love... a story about a God who loved us enough to send His Son to die for us, knowing the price He was paying...

Icy Roads

With so many challenges in life, it is very easy for us to want to take charge and try to handle everything ourselves, but in the end we find ourselves worse off, and crying for the Help of the Lord, who is always faithful...

A Winter Snow

When we look at things, we often see what they currently are, and not what they can be. The same holds true for people, but God is able to take even below freezing temperatures and make them into something beautiful...

Forgiving Your "Dr. Mengele"

I think in almost everyone's life, there is at least one person you absolutely do not want to forgive. One person who has said something, or done something to you or someone very close...

Crucifying Racism

Today's devotion is not one of political correctness, or even one of encouragement... instead today we need to take a serious look at our own views, and how we perceive others.

I'm Glad I'm Not like Him!
As Christians we often feel we are better than "those sinners," but are we really?

Judge, Executioner, or Rehab. Officer?

Why did Jesus come to this world? Did he come to show us all our flaws and failures? Did he come to Judge Us? Or did he come to bring Mercy and Rehabilitation?

James 3:9-12
[9] Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. [10] Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. [11] Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? [12] Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Exodus 20:12
[12] Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Romans 13:2
[2] Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Leviticus 19:11
[11] Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

Hebrews 12:6
[6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Exodus 20:4
[4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
