Ephesians 4:32 (KJV) “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Reflection Forgiveness is one of the clearest marks of a heart that has been changed by Jesus Christ.

He asks us to forgive because we have been forgiven of so much. When we refuse to forgive, bitterness begins to take root. It steals our joy, damages our fellowship with God,...

God’s Word points us in a different direction. True wisdom does not begin with education, experience, or intelligence. It begins with a proper reverence for God. To fear the Lord does not mean living in terror of Him. It means honoring Him, respecting His authority, and recognizing that He alone is holy, righteous, and worthy of our...
