luke-12:22-24,-matthew-6:19-34

Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap. Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not. Seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. Your Father knoweth that ye hav... Read More

We forget we have a victorious Head; He is crowned, and all power is vested in Him in heaven and in earth. We are only cells in the Body. We don't have to worry; just look at the birds, etc. He is the center of everything; He is the center of the universe, and everything should verge to Him. Our hea... Read More

O all you inhabitants of the world dwelling on the earth, come; see and hear; gather yourselves together unto the proclamation of the Great King. Hear, you who are afar off and you who are near! He who has an ear to hear, let him hear. I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Prepare the way... Read More

I had hardly crossed the border into this cloud-covered mountainous country when a messenger appeared in the path and welcomed me by name. "Beyond this range of mountains is a plateau where you will work in construction on the house of God." That sounded clear enough. So you can imagine my surprise ... Read More

When Jesus of Nazareth hung on the cross that dark Friday afternoon, it looked like the end of the road. He’d had a good run while it lasted. He shook things up for a while. Now it’s over. He’s done.
