A daily walk in faith, hope and love
DAY 179 Matthew 7:15 Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

DAY 169 There are days you hear some very harsh truths in church that chastise you, and other days, encouragement that refreshes you for further advance. Today, I heard the later and it was a profession we were led to make, 'I am happy to be me' A story was told of a Rabbi who... Continue Reading →
DAY 167 Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. It is interesting that in one breath, Jesus mentions rest and a yoke.

347/365 Matthew 21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.

FOLLOWING THE AUTHOR OF LIFE 173/365 Matthew 8:19, 20 Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” Those words which Jesus spoke to...
