WHAT IF JESUS IS WAITING FOR ME THERE?
What if the person I keep overlooking is where Jesus is waiting for me? James makes a startling statement: “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble…” — James 1:27 NKJV Why them? Why does God...
Sifting Reveals What We Are Building With

God’s Presence Frees Us from Offense

We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear. Jesus makes a statement that can feel startling at first: “Fear God… yes, I say to you, fear Him” (Luke 12:5). But before fear can turn into misunderstanding, He immediately follows with something just as...
The Glory of God
