Be Christ-Conscious
Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace Have you ever woken up in the morning and said, “Today, I will not sin.” And as you leave your house, you say, “I must be careful not to fall into sin today. I […]

God Remembers Your Sins No More
Hebrews 10:17 … “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” I don’t know about you, but I would say that Hebrews 10:17 is good news. God sees all our sins — past, present and future — and says, “Your sins I remember no more!” The words “no more” are a strong […]
If It Matters To You, It Matters To God
Luke 12:6–7 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Many Christians make the mistake of thinking that God is too busy taking […]
