In our last blog, we looked at Ephesians 1:3 where the Holy Spirit tells us that we, as children of God, have been blessed by God our Father with “every” spiritual blessing. As part of the many spiritual blessings, “every” child of God has been endowed by the Holy Spirit with “spiritual gifts.” There is… Read More »
Seated with Jesus in Heavenly Places
Oftentimes, when people stay at a luxury hotel, one of the first things they do is to check out all of the amenities that come with their hotel accommodations.

Gratefulness: The Key to Happiness
One thing we all have in common is the desire to be happy.

God’s Ways Are Not Our Ways
It happens! Once we have prayed and asked God for something for ourselves or for someone else, we are sometimes tempted to try and analyze “how” He will provide the answer to our prayer. At times, we may feel tempted to give the Lord a little “help” of our own to make sure the prayer… Read More »
16 Steps to Excellence
In the last verse of 1 Corinthians 12, a chapter on the nine Gifts of the Holy Spirit, we are encouraged to “eagerly desire the greater gifts.” And immediately following this exhortation, we are told, “And yet I will show you the most excellent way.” Without question, the supernatural Gifts of the Holy Spirit are great Gifts, but the… Read More »
