It’s amazing how much we learn when we study the Bible and how some of the messages jump right out at us when we read with a hungry heart. The scriptures are God’s own inspired words that He’s given to us so we can learn about Him and become better disciples. As we study, our faith grows and we feel confident that God loves us and will help us through anything. Yet—it’s not until we attempt to put our faith to work that we really know how much of what we have read is in us. It’s not until trials hit that we often discover who we really are.

When I’m alone with You
Lord
My troubles seem to
disappear
And the peace that comforts

Always comes when You are

I sing a song of praise and
thankful tears fill my eyes
‘Cause Your love’s too much
for my heart to contain
Joy too much that my feet
won’t refrain

“Ha!” said the Hammer. “I knew you could not do this. Let me show you how.” But with the very first blow, his head flew off, and the steel was unchanged.

“Shall I try?” asked the Flame. And it curled itself gently around the strong, hard steel, and embraced it, and would not let it go. And the tough steel melted.

There are hearts that are hard enough to resist: The forces of wrath, The fury of pride. But hard is the heart that can resist the warm “flame of…

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:6-8

Good Friday – today is the day Christians throughout the world set aside to remember, reflect and meditate on the sacrifice our Lord Jesus Christ made for all of humanity. The world would never be the same after that fateful day over 2,000 years ago.

Jesus lived for “Good Friday“. The cross was the object of his mission – to seek and to save the lost. The lost like me and the lost like you.

Jesus risked everything by laying down his life. Life is all…
