Saul/Paul

One cannot learn the journey of the Christian faith, without at some point learning of Paul. He had no idea of the life God was preparing for him to live. For a time (when he was known as Saul,) the followers of Christ were important to him. He was not seeking ways to help them,… Continue reading Saul/Paul

Looking Up

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek first those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Shall We Begin?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read these words. Please know that they are intended as much for myself as well as for you. Jesus loves you. Yes, you! He died for you; in fact he died for all of us, so that we could one day be with him in heaven.… Continue reading Shall We Begin?
