This is a tough subject to talk on – immorality in our thoughts, words, and deeds… The implications are enormous.

In today’s devotional,Paul starts to get VERY practical as he gives instruction pertaining to how we should live as Christ-followers. This is a task that is never-ending as long as we live on this planet.   As usual, here is the video link: RLRMTR The Spotify and the iTune links are to the right. Blessings! […]

Once again, God’s Word reveals a bit of me to… me. Kind of the point for devotional time, isn’t it? Initially, I set out to do an in-depth study of these 10 verses… but I just could not tear my gaze away from verse 7, 8 and 11:     7 But to each one of […]

Gentile believers, who used to be outsiders, not connected in any way to God, who did not know God’s house even existed, have now been moved into God’s house, adopted  by Him to become members of His family with all the rights and privileges of a son or daughter. You are not a “distant relative” […]

Quite possibly on ofmthe most powerful 10 verses I have read in a long time. Paul lays the foundation for what he believes about salvation. Every facet of our salvation is of God. If any part of our redemption belongs to us – then it is not grace. And we are not redeemed. We were […]

We are chosen by God to participate in the riches of Heaven. We have been joined to a glorious future awaiting us.  Paul prayed that we might have Holy Spirit-inspired wisdom and revelation that we might know Him… NOW…and in this knowing, understand the hope He has called us to, embracing His riches and His […]

Right out of the chute, Paul brings up predestination. He says it is based on God’s love for us. Let’s chat a bit about it, shall we? Here is the video link Ephesians 1:1-6   Spotify and iTines podcast links are to the right. Blessings! Paige
