Good morning with a word for the day-1 Thessalonians 4:3, ‘For this is the will of God...’Many times we focus on the next few words Paul has written in verse 3, but if we do we miss the power of the concept Paul was trying to describe. Paul says we should want to live a quiet, holy, and clean lifestyle; and one which would not defraud the brethren. We should know how to control our bodies and liv...  Read More

March 2, 2022Mark 14:38 says, ‘Watch and pray.’The Lord Jesus never asked very much from His disciples. But here we find at the end of His ministry, and soon to be His life, He asked His disciples to ‘watch and pray.’ He did not tell them what to pray for or how long to pray, but just to watch and pray. Taking time to pray seems to be one of our less than favorite things to do.
