We all want a fruitful and blessed life, but what does that truly mean, and how do we obtain it?

Jeremiah 17:5-10

Ignoring the grace of God creates a vacuum, which in turn creates toxic relationships as we look for what only God can supply.

Eternity is worth looking to

Colossians 3:1-3

Life is filled with regret over words spoken. The tongue is a force to be reckoned with. There is hope.

Be encouraged, the 'so-called' blessings of this world are short lived. God knows!

The wicked seem to flourish, but it will be short lived. The LORD knows your way.

Our tongues condemn us as untameable flames, therefore, consider carefully the judgement that awaits for those who call themselves teacher.

A man reaps what he sows, and in this case, the fruit of consistent delight in, and meditation on, the Word of God gives blessing.

Everyone wants blessing, but are you willing to change paths to have it?

Showing partiality to others cheapens the mercy of God as it is reflected through our actions.

It is foolish to believe that faith operates in a vacuum apart from works. Works demonstrate faith, and are in fact a completion of faith.

Anger is as condemnable as murder!

Matthew 5:21-26

We have a calling to stand against our enemy, and because our enemy is spiritual, we need the spiritual armour of the gospel.
