For quite a while now, my Pastor has been teaching from Joshua 1:8, which says, "Keep this book of the law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Meditating on God's word both day and night is the key to knowing God's word for yourself.

Matthew 5:13 (New International Version) “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. God called us to be a blessing to others by praying for them, and by being a witness to them. If our walk, our witness and our prayers are not blessing others, we are falling short of who God called us to be. If you are lacking "saltiness", confess it to

Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends

Luke 15:3-7 (New International Version) 3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be m

Psalm 118:1 (New International Version) " Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. " It's so good to know that God's love for us never fails. His love is relentless. Psalm 23:6 says, "His love will follow me all the days of my life." There is nothing I can do to lose it, and I don't have to earn it. His love is perfect.

When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
