Grown in Faith

Matthew 8:5-8 NIV When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.” Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?” The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say…

Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. I am guilty of at times dwelling on the past. At times I…

In the garden of life, we are but seeds Though it is hard, If we have to grow through the weeds If we are not tended to Nurtured and cared for with love How can we grow And be what our Gardener dreamed of If we are left to wilt In the elements that try…

There is a movie that I enjoy, although it is not a Christian one, I really like the concept of it. In summary, a man is extremely shallow and likes people based on their appearance. Especially, when it comes to dating. Fast forward a little bit and he is ‘gifted’ the ability to see people…

Don’t live your life trying to please people. For the likelihood of someone being unpleased is always there. Though if we live our life to please God, we can have the assurance that no matter what some people think, God is pleased. It is His opinion and judgement that matters, not the world’s. May we…
