Called Out of Darkness – Part II

My fears expanded their territory in my mind – fearful of going anywhere, fearful of closed in places, fearful of wide open spaces, fearful in crowds, fearful of death, and all were accompanied by anxiety.

Gifts – Ordinary or Extraordinary?

God doesn’t draw names to see who gets which gift either. No, He chooses specific gift(s) for believers in order to accomplish His purpose which is to build up, to encourage, and to comfort those who live by faith. There are as many gifts as there are needs, so His children will never be deprived of a spiritual gift.

Greetings and What They Convey

He greeted them saying, “Peace be with you.” (John 20:21) So, what makes Jesus’ greeting of peace so powerful and unique such as, “My peace I give to you.” Jesus’ greeting always included His desire to give His peace.
