March 18, 2017 4 Comments

Mark 11:25 (NRSV) 25 “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.” In the past, I have thought this verse meant that forgiveness of others was a condition we needed to fulfill in order to be forgiven ourselves. That God wouldn’t… Continue reading Saturday, March 18th- Forgiveness

James 1:2-4 (NRSV) Consider it pure joy… when you are involved in various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But you must let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. Resilience- spirit, strength, hardiness, flexibility, pliability (from the Microsoft Word Thesaurus) Here… Continue reading Tuesday, March 14th- Resilience

1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.
