Can we see a bigger picture that only benefits others? A bigger picture with nothing in it for us, whatsoever? Can we be so selfless, expecting nothing in return?

It’s early and as I sit at my desk with the window open overlooking our community pond the sun is shining, and yet as I take a moment to perhaps daydream, I start to see more and more of those little white puffy clouds (like sheep) begin to proceed across that great blue backdrop we [...]

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.” Heb 13:2
And as of late this scripture keeps coming to mind, maybe because God keeps putting it there, I don’t know, but I woke this morning thinking of it. Perhaps too because I always do as the holidays approach. “Tis [...]

I am still in the throws of reading a lesson/sermons on 1st Corinthians entitled The Corinthian Crises and after having read one this morning I wanted to share it here. I think because just a few weeks ago I heard a similar sermon on the same topic where this verse becomes the central question:
“Now [...]

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I [...]
