Letting God speak
Matthew 7:7 – 11 ESV Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give …

Over the years I have heard of two different churches with very poignant signs over the main doors.

Matthew 7:6 Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. Christianity is not a philosophy.

Matthew 6:25-34 Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap …

For where your treasure is, there your heart …
This week America celebrates Independence Day. The 4th of July symbolizes freedom for Americans. On this date in 1776, we officially declared that we would no longer submit to the tyranny of England. That was the beginning of a fierce and painful struggle until we, as a nation, finally won our freedom. In some ways, …
