Romans 12 presents the Christian with the plea from the Apostle Paul to present our lives to Christ as a living sacrifice. When we allow the Word of God and all the has been done for us by Him to seep into every fiber of our being, what a transformation that takes place!
How often do we think of being a servant to others? When we consider Eliezer in Genesis 24:1-27, he was given great responsibility as a servant of Abraham to find Isaac a bride. Christ Himself was the ultimate servant as He came to earth and bore our sins upon the cross. Who will we serve…
From John 1:1-5 we see that this is God’s World (He created it), so let’s do it God’s Way (He is the only way of salvation), and then follow God’s Will for our life (through the reading of God’s Word and obeying it). This is not a 3-step plan for fame, fortune, success, or a…

The Bible is clear that the love of God is great, but did you know that it is so great that nothing can separate us from it? Romans 8:35-39 makes it clear that God’s love is inseparable from us! Yes, we may run from it, reject it, deny it, but God still loves every one…
