Wanted: Day 3

Ambitiously Adopted 5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. Ephesians 1:5(NLT) As a child, I had many questions because I was not raised by my biological parents. Therefore, I struggledContinue reading “Wanted: Day 3”

We Are SO Loved! For God SO loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

My treasure lies upon a lamb slain,In an eternal place where the Son of Man reigns.Not in a bank stored up where thieves steal,Or in a lie that appearsContinue reading “My Treasure Lies”

What’s In a Name?

What’s in a name hundreds of centuries-old? That’s still able to move mountains when upon it’s called. What’s in a name? Whether Gentile or Jew? That is full of power and mighty to save both me and you. What’s in a name that makes demons tremble and flee? And yet gentle enough when spoken toContinue reading “What’s In a Name?”

Great is defined as being above the norm or average, extraordinary, exceptional, significant. The world has its own view of greatness and it usually correlates with worldly gain, status, or success.
