There really is no better declaration of compassion than the one Jesus made on the cross. The Lord saw that his people were headed for ruin and He could not bear it, so He set us free. The God of heaven ached over the thought of losing us. He was then, and will always be, a place of warmth, safety, love, and tender mercy. The Bible gives many examples of God’s compassion for His people. Read on for some verses... Read more
Here are my top 7 Bible verses that I could find that have special meaning about widows and how God has great concern for them. James 1:27 “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” Is there any better definition of what pure religion is in the Bible? I’m not sure there is. The idea of the word “pure” means... Read more

Here are my top 7 Bible verses about God’s creation and God as Creator. Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” Anyone that goes out on a starry night must stand amazed at the expanse or size of the universe. Since the universe cannot be measured by man, its Creator must be so much bigger. Indeed, “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the... Read more
Here are 7 of the top Bible verses about the holiness of God and the goal of living holy lives before God. Isaiah 6:3 “And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” This may be the greatest attribute of God that there is.

God has a plan. All along, and for always, He is putting into action this plan He has created. We are all given a part to play-a certain journey-and asked to do everything we can with it. For some, that journey is different. For those with a disability, the trust that God has placed upon them to bear this affliction is astounding. They were not chosen to be less than anyone. They were chosen to be stronger, braver, and, most... Read more

Every one of us have been given talents, time, and treasure so what have we done with these and what will we do with them since we are all stewards of God. Matthew 25:29 “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance.
