Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

KJV
I have counted eighteen times that Jesus said “Follow Me”. As one looks back on the past year I wonder who they have followed the most? Is it Jesus, is it self, is it the world, I wonder who it is that […] -

2 Cor 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
KJV
Merry Christmas! What is the best Christmas gift you ever received? I remember one year I asked for and received a “Johnny 007 Double Action Gun” just like the one the hero had on a TV show I was allowed to watch and I considered that the best Christmas gift I had ever received. But was it? I no longer have that gun, that perfect gift. It has […] -

Ps 18:1-6 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
