"Intreat me not to leave thee; or to return from following after thee. Whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people will be my people; thy God my God. Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me,...
John 12: 37 "But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him" Sometimes it is hard to understand why people do not believe and put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. I have heard people say, "But those were His disciples,...
"Jesus answered and said unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, if ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree; but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all...
"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pitchers of silver." (Proverbs 5:11) We all have experienced, either personally or observing it in others, how just a word at the right time and place, can change the entire atmosphere of a conversation, or change the...

This prayer inspires in me a longing to be with Jesus as the Apostles were. The love which they experienced from Him is so overwhelming I can’t even imagine having that kind of love, even from my parents if they were alive. To understand what I am saying one would...
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5 NIV) This scripture passage tells me that as a plant cannot survive unless it remains rooted in the soil, so I cannot...
“I’m going to the Bahamas.” I have heard people all my life say, I’m going to go here; I’m going to go there; or I’m going to do this or that, not prefacing it with “if it is God’s will I will do such and such.” None of us knows what tomorrow holds. If we did we would...
