‘Galentine’s’ Day
Are you lonely this Valentine’s day? Let’s look to 1 John to see how we can take the sting out of being unattached this February.
A Most Divine Interruption
“The angel went to her and said, ‘Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you,’” Luke 1:28 NIV The young Mary startled at the angel’s appearance. She hadn’t received notice of Gabriel’s impending arrival. Her mother never instructed her on how to entertain angels. Mary simply had no idea what to do!…
God Gave Sight
“The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.” John 12:23 NIV It was the heaviest of burdens. It was literally the world against Him. Just four days after praises from Palm Sunday still ringing in His ears, He now felt none of the accolades or the glory. Instead of a reception…

Blessed By Believing
“Blessed is she who believes the Lord would fulfill His promises to her.” (Luke 1:45 NIV) Mind reeling from the angel’s proclamation, Mary quickly packed her things.

Promised Acceptance
Sandra sank to the floor near her bed in exhausted desperation. The irony of the spot hit her full on. Years ago, as a child, she would kneel here before bed, conversing with God, just as Mama taught her. But Mama died. Sandra hadn’t spoken to God since. After years of silence, she cried out…
