A Heart for Faith and Evangelism

For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men. We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are Read more

Jesus, the Good Shepherd

Jesus said, “I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good Read more

Christ as the Consummate High Priest

For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once Read more

Veterans Day

Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:3   One of the things I have instilled in my son is something I have practiced for many years, to shake hands with and thank the men and women who wear a uniform.  This refers to our Read more

Our Sorrows Can Be Overcome by the Joy of the Lord

For it is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power Read more

Don’t Give Up, Even If Life is Tough

And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at Jesus’ feet he besought Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As He went, the people pressed round Him. Read more

A New Creation

See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For Read more

A Modern Day Saint

For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful Read more

Who Are the Angels?

For if the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard Him, while God Read more

I AM the Alpha and the Omega-Revelation

“I AM the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8   It is very rare that we reflect on the Book of Revelation on the Prayer Team.  The Book of Revelation was written by St. Read more

I AM-John 8, 18

The Jews then said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” So they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of Read more

I AM the Vine—John 15

I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, He takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to Read more
