Law

Something to think about.

Grace wonderful grace. Without grace we would certainly be condemned by the law.

Something to think about.

Need Some Help?

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

The True Measure of Value

Something to think about

The True Measure of Value

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

We can have it all and have nothing. In the end in the beginning and at all times, your value, your worth will be measured not by what you have but by how you loved.
