Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

Daily Nugget

Hebrews 4:12 – For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

The Destructive Power Of The Tongue

Proverbs 10:19; 11:13; 12:18; 16:28; 17:27; 29:20 – 19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. 13 Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered. 18 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. 28…

It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This…

The incarnation of the Lord Jesus is a staggering truth. As Christians we affirm that God became a man and lived among us. Without the incarnation, there is no crucifixion; without the crucifixion, there is no resurrection; and without the resurrection, there is no salvation.
