When our lives are filled with peace, faith and joy, people will want to know what we have.

The vinedresser is never nearer the branches then when he is pruning them.

Loving the world destroys our relationship with God, it denies our faith in God, and it discounts our future with God.

When the Bible uses the words salvation, Savior, and save, it's speaking of the total work of God in bringing people from a state of death - hopeless separation from God - to a state of everlasting life through the forgiveness of sin, based on the merits of Christ Jesus who died and rose again. Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God's love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity.

Every time we deny ourselves in order to serve someone else, we grow in Christ.

No one is saved by good works (Ephesians 2:8-9), but every Christian has been saved for good works (verse 10).

Jesus is coming back - it could even be today.
