If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. (Colossians 3:1) Do you ever think about heaven? I do. A lot, in fact. I dream about seeing my grandparents again; I wonder about work there, and if God will assign me...

“Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations”. Isaiah 42:1 Have you seen the movie “The Greatest Showman” staring Hugh Jackman who portrayed P.T.

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through...

Eph 5:33B: “…and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.” Ladies, let me start this devotional with my closing remarks: never disrespect your husband in public and never disrespect your husband in front of the children!
