A Perfect God… Demonstrating Perfect Love… Casting Out All Fear So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 1 John 4:16 ESV On the American calendar we designate one day a year for love. February 14 th is reserved for “Valentine’s Day”. It is a day designated to express and receive love. As great as that is, think about this… God your Heavenly Father expresses His love 365 days a year, around the clock, twenty four hours a day! He never forgets or fails! God is love! In the New Testament book of 1st John, God has a lot to say about love. His love is freely given to any, and to all, who receive. 1st John speaks to the nature, identity, and definition of God, when the writer explains that,…“God is love”. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.   Anyone who does...

“Steps of Wonder” Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 It seems like I have had “Steps” on my mind lately. Last week, I mentioned how I begin each day with steps of quoting scripture I’ve memorized over time. Another thing I like to do is meditate on the scriptures once they are quoted. It makes me think and dream of the magnificence of God in our every day steps. Everyone who walks with God is required to take steps. In the Old Testament God gave commands, dreams, and visions, outlining steps He expected Godly men and women to take. When Jesus first began His ministry in the New Testament, He called for His disciples to take steps and then to follow Him. For Peter and Andrew it was to stop what they were doing, leave their nets, and follow Him. I’m convinc...

“Five Steps To A Better Day… Every Day!” The steps of the God-pursuing ones follow firmly in the footsteps of the Lord, and God delights in every step they take to follow him. Psalm 37:23 TPT For most of us, every day begins with steps. Steps to the shower, steps to the closet to get ready, steps to the kitchen for breakfast, steps to the car, steps to work, and steps back home again. Think about how many different steps we all take each day. Wow, that’s a lot of steps! Most of us have two strong legs, and two good feet, but even if you didn’t, here are some steps that everyone can take to ensure and guarantee a better day! Years ago, I trained myself to take steps each day, by quoting several scriptures that I walk through in my mind and spirit each morning before I even get out of bed! These scriptures have become steps I take every day to get started on the right track. While I have memorized several, I will give you my top five… Step 1. Today is the da...
