God is Love.

-
You can’t love a fellow creature fully till you love God. Our relationship with God must be recognized as “older and closer.” The first commandment is to love the Lord our God, and the second is to love one another.

Unglued

What do we often do with our raw emotions? We stuff, we explode, or react somewhere in between. Is it really possible to make emotions work for us instead of against us? Lysa TerKeurst’s answer is yes, and in her usual inspiring and practical way, Lysa shows you how. Filled with gut-honest examples and Biblical teaching,  Unglued  will equip you to know with confidence how to: 1) resolve conflict and find peace in your important relationships; 2) learn to be honest but kind when offended; 3) identify what type of reactor you are and how to significantly improve your communication; 4) respond with no regrets by managing your tendencies to stuff, explode or react somewhere in between, and much more. We hope you enjoy this first session of  Unglued . Our goal in this study isn’t to be perfect. Our goal is to make imperfect progress. —  Lysa TerKeurst Watch the Video May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in y...

Love Does Challenge Day 3 : Audacious Love Read the story of Jacob from Genesis 28:10-17 Jacob’s Dream at Bethel Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.

All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I ha...

Two Arks: What Do Moses and Noah Have in Common?‏

-
Kids Sayeth the Cutest Things — Moses in the Basket Scripture Rreading: Exodus 2:1-10. With the Israelite population getting out of control, the Egyptians decided to exercise post-birth population control by drowning the baby boys in the Nile but allowing the little girls to live. Horrible, right? God didn’t like it either. So when Moses’ mom could not hide him any longer, she put him in a papyrus basket and sent him down the Nile. The word for this basket in Hebrew is tebah , and it’s the same word used for “ark,” as in Noah’s ark. These two arks are very different. Moses’ ark was maybe a yard long. Noah’s ark was 150 times longer. Moses’ ark was made of reeds from the Nile. Noah’s ark was made from cypress wood. One thing they both had in common — they were both covered in pitch or tar to keep them from sinking. And both arks represent the same thing — God’s means of saving humanity. Noah’s ark saved a righteous family from God’s judgment on humanity. Mose...
