I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

Purpose
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” – I Timothy 5:8 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars sang together, And…
Shake It Off
Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. And when you go into a household, greet it. If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. Assuredly, I say…
You are Strong
I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,…

When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and…
It Matters What You Think
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.“ – III John 1:2-4 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced…
Victory
So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” – Revelation 5:4-5 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat…
The Key to Winning the World
I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me;…

And it happened after this that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. And there was a great famine in Samaria; and indeed they besieged it until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver ($80), and one-fourth of a kab of dove droppings for five shekels of silver ($5). Then, as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help, my…
