But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, Romans 4:5When you think of righteousness, what do you think about? Is it something that we do or something that we are? Is it right doing or right believing?

…the sheep hear His voice: and He calleth His sheep by name.  John 10:3I think we can all say at times that we have felt like we were just a face in a crowd or a number in a system. We’re all identified by our social security number in many ways. So, if you feel depersonalized and dehumanized at times, that is exactly how the devil wants you to feel. That you do not matter much to anyone, especial...  Read More

For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.  1 Samuel 16:7If you try to picture David as a Shepherd boy, you will most likely see him as just an ordinary youth.

…God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; Romans 4:17So often when we look at ourselves, we don’t see what we can become. But when God looks at us, He sees what we can become by His grace. When Jesus first saw Simon, He changed his name to “Peter,” which means “rock.” But did Peter instantly become someone with the characteristics of a rock- sol...  Read More

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Matthew 10:30I can’t imagine having a wife and three daughters of which I would ever have the time to count the hairs on their heads.

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he SAYS will be done, he will have whatever he SAYS.  Mark 11:23It’s hard for some to grasp that Jesus actually did say that we would have what we SAY. But what happens so often is that people say what they don’t want to have. Charles Capp...  Read More
