Because
He Lives, We Can Trust His Promises
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings
of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him
unto a wise man, which built his house
upon a rock: and the rain descended,
and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house; and it fell not:
for it was founded upon a rock.
Matthew 7:24-25 KJV

God's Holy Word is a unique blessing and a priceless treasure. The words of
Matthew 4:4 remind us that, "Man shall not live by bread alone but by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (KJV). As
believers, we must study the Bible and meditate upon its meaning for our
lives. Otherwise, we deprive ourselves of a priceless gift from our
Creator.
God's Word is unlike any other book. The Bible is a roadmap for life here
on earth and for life eternal. As Christians, we are called upon to study
God's Holy Word, to follow its commandments, and to share its Good News
with the world.

Jonathan Edwards advised, "Be assiduous in reading the Holy
Scriptures. This is the fountain whence all knowledge in divinity must be
derived. Therefore let not this treasure lie by you neglected." God's
Holy Word is, indeed, His timeless guide to life here on earth and life
eternal. A passing acquaintance with the Good Book is insufficient for
Christians who seek to obey God's Word and to understand His will. After
all, man does not live by bread alone...

Faith expects from God
what is beyond all expectation.
Andrew Murray
If we have the true love of God in our hearts,
we will show it in our lives.
We will not have to go up and down
the earth proclaiming it.
We will show it in everything we say or do.
D. L. Moody

A Prayer
Lord, direct my path far from
the temptations and distractions of
the world. Make me a worthy example
to my family and friends. And, let my
kind words and my good deeds serve as
a testimony to the changes You have
made in my life. Let me praise You, Father,
by following in the footsteps of Your Son,
and let others see Him through me.
Amen
