To See JESUS CHRIST!
Psalm 34:5 “Those who look to HIM are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.” As Beacons Brightly! Light does not appear when the Darkness increases yet shadows seem greater the brighter the day. So if GOD was absent, there would be no contrast. A “nothingness void” would be all that remained. But […]
Read More As Beacons Brightly!Proverbs 22:9 “Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.” Drawn to these Crossroads!

Read More Drawn to these Crossroads!Luke 24:45 “Then HE opened their minds to understand the Scriptures…” The Un-Puzzling! The hardest puzzles are those where each piece looks quite similar.

Read More The Soul Answer!John 10:27 “MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME.” Just Left! A ready CHRIST follower, by definition, admits that they cannot lead themselves.

Read More Just Left!Psalm 139:14 “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Purposed and Sent!

Read More Final Here, First There!Job 4:4 “YOUR words have steadied those who stumbled; YOU have braced the knees that were buckling.” Un-Automating Stumbling!
