John 3:16, For GOD so loved the world that, who so ever believes in him shall have everlasting life.

So often we might jump into action without having truly considered the best approach, or without having even looked to God for guidance. Those who seek council first with the Lord, to have their souls first filled with wisdom, will also please the Lord.

Inscribed within all things of beauty and wonder, we may see the hand of God at work, be it a painting, a flower, or the smile of a loved one. Exquisite as they may be, these are but a fraction of what we might come to expect to witness within the glory of His Heavenly Kingdom.

A popular saying goes that "if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say it". In these few words lurks wisdom, for in relation to our faith, the good here is the good news of Jesus Christ, and the gospel of our Lord.We were not given a voice to slander& spread ill will.

The very nature of freedom poses a choice for us. God, in giving us freedom, in being our Creator and endowing us with individual will, granted us thus simultaneously a choice –choose Him and give thanks, so that you may live a life in His truth, or deny him and invite perdition.

Again as seen previously in another passage, these verse from Psalms draw our attention to God's almighty and unrivaled power. To serve the Lord with fear, does not mean straightforwardly that we ought to fear the Lord, as the end of this passage demonstrates.

Life may drag one down more times than one cares to remember, and so often we may stumble through our days tired, worn, and heavy. Even though a holiday may help, what's meant in this passage here in Matthew is much more profound in suggesting that unlike holidays.

Joseph offers also an exemplary case of faith within the Lord. Visited by an angel, instructed of Mary's miraculous conception, these things may have been nearly impossible to accept for all or any without faith or awareness in God and His awesome power.

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

Christ resurrected, presents one of the most miraculous events in all of our Biblical history. It presents clearly for all followers, the path before us; life towards death, death followed by eternal life. For followers of Christ, life on earth is not the end,.

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

Personally, an operative word in this Colossians passage above is that of 'dwell' as it relates to the riches and reward of wisdom. It suggests a sort of anthropomorphism of Christ's word, wherein it signifies a kind of inhabitant within oneself, with whom one shares and gains.

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

In the early Testament, God often appears as mysterious to His children, especially remaining obscure for unbelievers, whilst also testing the faiths of our forbearers. To this day, for believers, His depth and heights surpass our knowledge.

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

There is no fear of judgment upon our death if we are a faithful believer in Christ. Our limited time on earth is a test of our faith: pass the test and we achieve eternal bliss in heaven. Our inevitable death is something that most people fear. Jesus Christ did not fear it.

These verses in Isaiah are difficult to read. We are so lucky. Christ bore the sins of all of us. He carried the cross, laden with all of humanity's transgressions and iniquities. He did not deserve this fate! We were the ones that went astray.

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

As Christians, we have been chosen by God to share His light with the world. Therefore, it is our duty to do it with mercy, kindness, humility, meekness (gentleness), and longsuffering (patience). It reminds me of 1 Colossians 13: 4-5: "Charity suffereth long, and is kind.

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

I think many of us have spent many sleepless nights trying to understand what life means and God's divine plan for us. God created heaven and earth. How can we possibly grasp His divine plan given we have only seen a fraction of one of his creations?

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

I imagine that you may have heard the famous quote, "Keep your friends close and enemies closer." This quote has more nefarious intentions, but Jesus wants us to keep our enemies close for positive reasons: simply put, we can help them. It is our duty to love our enemies.

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

God sent more than Jesus to Earth. The Holy Spirit surrounds us all, and John does not want the followers of Jesus to forget that Jesus is only one part of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit flowed through Him as it does through all of us.

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

God is always looking out for us. He will never tempt us with something that is too difficult for us to bear. Sometimes life can seem too difficult and the temptations too great, but this can also be viewed as God believing in us, that we are able to bear these trials.

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

Who in your life have you imitated in some way? Parents? Siblings? Teacher? Maybe even a fictional character? How many of us can say we have really tried to imitate Jesus? It seems so obvious but is so difficult in reality.

[Myron Calhoun @SmoothCalli]

God is good and that will never change. It who He is. Time and time again we are reminded in the Bible, God's Word, that His mercy is everlasting It is because of God's mercy, we have the confidence in Him that we have.God's word will always reign supreme for an eternity to come.
