Romans 13:10 says, “Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.” When my brother and I were boys, we had a dog named Lady. She had a litter of pups. We kept one of the litter, a male, that we named Blackie. She had another litter. Again, we […]
Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” You may be wondering what God’s will for your life is as you approach this new year. In Romans 12,

Matthew 2:1&2 says, “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.”

Acts 10:33 says, “Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come.

John 6:5 says, “When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” The great company that Jesus lifted up His eyes and looked upon consisted of about 5,000 men and their families. Jesus not only was
John 9:4 says, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” Many great works have been done by men that worked day and night to accomplish them. I am reminded of the Battle of Trenton. After leaving Valley Forge on Christmas
Luke 24:49 states, “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” Last Sunday, the preacher preached on the power of prayer. He used the Scripture that says to ask, seek, and knock. He mentioned how
