“And He was saying to them all, ‘If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. For what is a man profited if he gains...
Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV)
“As a man sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend”
Iron touching iron denotes meaningful, close-knit interaction that makes both parties figuratively sharper—and the wiser for it. What the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:11-12 underscores the...
However the reader perceives this chart, I hope that they sense the assurance
of knowing the Scriptures are true and mutually affirming:
“Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases to be,
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love
Lord, your mercies are new every morning. I must therefore continue to discover anew, for the best orientation of my heart toward You, how this is so. I mustn’t take for granted what You grant.
Proven before, I must admit that your mercies many times feel like a new ship aft and fore, in...
“If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin...
