“We know that in all things, God works for good for those who love Him: those whom He has called according to His purpose.” This was also a favorite verse of my mother and father. When sickness or drought or other tragedies came, they depended on this verse. I also have depended on this verse […]

“For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The stresses of everyday life pull us […]

“If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” How many times do we ask for our own selfish desires from God? Make deals with […]

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will be with child and give birth to a son, and they will call Him ‘Emmanuel’ – which means, God is with us.” It is often good to retrace the events of Jesus’ life and that of the Holy […]
