“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the…
There is nothing more comforting and encouraging than the faith of a godly mother. A mother who loves the Lord and her children is like a rare and precious gem. If you have such a godly mother, you should be very thankful for her and appreciative of her. The greatest example in scripture of a…
Peter is the most well-known apostle of Jesus Christ. He is writing this epistle to believers who are scattered throughout the various regions of the Roman world. The believers are identified as ‘strangers.’ In other words, as believers in the Lord Jesus, we are strangers and pilgrims in this world. Our citizenship is in heaven.…
I have recently completed reading Glory Hunger by J.R. Vassar. I had the privilege of seeing J.R. Vassar at a pastor’s conference in Jacksonville Florida. His book really hit the nail on the head and put a lot of things in perspective. We all have a desire or hunger for glory. If you say that…

Throughout the Bible there are many references to the hand. There are many types of hands that are described in the Bible. As Christians, we should strive to have hands that are pleasing to God.
