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?

Genesis 1:27
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

1 Corinthians 13:5-6
[5] Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; [6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Exodus 20:3
[3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Romans 5:8
[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Micah 7:18
[18] Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
