A recurrent theme we read in the Psalms is the distinction between the righteous and the unrighteous. There is a clear line between the two and how God views them. They have different portions assigned to them. The Psalmist continually ensured that the readers would know this. This truth, had to be remembered in goodContinue reading “The God of Justice”
Contending for the Faith
If you are like me, then you have questioned yourself about the idea of contending for the faith. Why should we contend for the faith?

In the spirit of Thanksgiving
As I reflect on this week, I stand amazed at how many things I can thank God for. In a week, the Lord has proven to be faithful in all His dealings towards me. I do not deserve any of His goodness and care over my life yet that is what I get. As weContinue reading “In the spirit of Thanksgiving”

In the book of Ephesians, Paul has a prayer that reflects his desire for the Ephesians to know the depth of the love of God.
