Mark 11:24-25-Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” Think about the things we can give […]
Romans 3:19-20–Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. Maybe one of the most popular sayings in secular society by people who have been in trouble or made major […]
God likes it when we are audacious with Him. Because this will give Him an opportunity to show how gracious He is. This wouldn’t work with other humans. If I have cheated you out of all your life-savings for my gain, it would be audacious for me to ask for forgiveness especially if I have […]
God is very patient, and He will allow us to go very far wrong for very long before taking any drastic measures. So, if we are currently caught in the wrong, be patient and be faithful.

Mark 4:38-39-But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” I got a chance to go “back home” to Ohio and Michigan last week and see all of my family. Coming from a family of 7 uncles […]
The Gospel is such a befuddling concept that it could never have been made up. No one would teach such a concept to start a religion if it weren’t true. Think of how non-common sensical it is. If I were starting a religion and I wanted everyone to behave a certain way, I would never […]
What we primarily pray for says volumes about what our primary concerns are. We pray for “important” things. I don’t want to be disrespectful.

1 Peter 3:9- Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.
