Today, I’m a click away, posting at Inkspirational Messages. We’ve spent the last couple of weeks talking about objects in the Bible (i.e. the alabaster jar, the widow’s offering, Light, and more), and the role they play in our lives. I’m sharing a brief history about the veil that was torn in the temple when Jesus died, and its significance …
Faithful Service
“But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your HEART; consider what great things he has done for you.” 1 Samuel 12:24 Am I serving faithfully if I do not tend to my heart? With a fit physical heart, the chances of living a long life increase. With a strong emotional heart, I’ll feel less …
