Searching for God

Deuteronomy 4:29

“But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” 

When was the last time you truly searched after God? I'm not talking about an obscure theological insight about God or another bestselling book about God. When was the last time you sought after the Father so that you could know him better and appreciate him more? Let's open our hearts and go on the Great Quest to find God. Like the prodigal son in Luke 15, we will find he's waiting and watching for us to come home!

Evangelism

"We have found no means so much blessed to keep religion alive as FASTING and PRAYER." - Edward Payson

Hang onto the grace

Ephesians 6:24

“Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.”

Ephesians makes some of the greatest declarations in the entire Bible about the grace of God. This one, however, may be the very richest. Grace is offered to us whether we accept it or not. But, grace is with us in rich abundance and blessing as we love Jesus and hang on to his love with a grip of faith that is unwavering.
