Faith, Hope, Love, These Three, but the Greatest of These is Love. Recently, there was a horrendous traffic accident in Colorado, USA.  Four semis and 24 cars were involved in a fiery crash that closed the freeway for a day and a half.  People ran to help.  They ran into the smoke to help free […]

Faith, Hope, Love, These Three, but the Greatest of These is Love.

Faith, Hope, Love, These Three, but the Greatest of These is Love. At the risk of stating the obvious, it’s easy to love people you like.  It’s easy to love people who like you back. But, it’s not so easy to love those who treat you with contempt. Love… “is not rude, it is not self-seeking.  […]

Faith, Hope, Love, These Three, but the Greatest of These is Love.

God’s Presence; God’s Leading

Moses set up the tabernacle; he anointed and consecrated its furnishings.  He prepared the priests for their duties to worship the LORD.  Exodus 39:32-40:33 God chose to show the two million sons of Israel His presence with them.  How did He do this?  No T.V., no cell phones, no iPad’s, not even a radio was […]

Finish what the Lord gives you to do

Moses showed reverential respect and honor by obeying God. (NASB) Exodus 40:16 “Thus Moses did; according to all that the LORD had commanded him, so […]
