Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Last night I had a dream that was rather…

1 Thes. 4:3-6 For this is the will of God, that you be sanctified: that you abstain and back away from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God and are ignorant of His…

Mark 10:17-18 As He was leaving on His journey, a man ran up and knelt before Him and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.” At some point long ago we were all…
