Good morning, Friends, 

Colossians 3:14- Colossians 3:14 LSB
[14] Above all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

The Apostle Paul finished encouraging the saints to put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and forgiveness. Then he wraps it up with the statement, "above all these things put on love".

Nothing bonds Belelievers together so strong and resilient as love does. Love has this characteristic of powerfully pulling things together in the same direction, which causes those objects to masterfully multiply the source, blossoming into its greatest potential. The greatest potential of "me" is "we". 
This is the heart song of born again believers!

Check ✔️ it out, we (born-again Believers)will never fit in with this world. We will never cultivate a relationship with this world that mirrors or is likened to the relationship that we have with Christ and each other. Sadly, we can miss the importance of a strong relationship with each other, choosing rather instead, to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. However, because we ARE the body of Christ, the assembly, the congregation, we should be operating in the love that Christ has commanded we walk in toward each other. This is how we are identified. If the world sees chaos between us, fighting, destruction, war, offense,  then that provides a testimony against us that we are not biblically representing God. 

Let's put on love, compassion, forgiveness, kindness, humility, and gentleness. 

We got work to do!!! Clock ⌚ IN, let's get it!!!

Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  
Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)

- Grace & Peace

Devotional Reading - December 16, 2025

12/16/25 Good morning, Friends,  Acts 4:12 - [12] And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. BOLDNESS! In the chapter before this, Peter heals a man who had been disabled his whole life. The crowd is amazed. Everyone’s staring at Peter and John like they’re the heroes. But Peter shuts all that down immediately. He tells them straight up: “This wasn’t us. This was God working through Jesus Christ.” Peter refuses the spotlight and points all the credit where it belongs. That’s the same bold truth behind this verse, Jesus Christ alone saves. No exceptions. No substitutes. No backup plans. Peter is standing in front of religious leaders who believed they were right with God because of rules, traditions, and family history. And Peter doesn’t sugarcoat it. He tells them clearly: none of that saves you. Not religion. Not good behavior. Not being sincere. Not choosing another spiritual lane. Only J...

Daily Devotional - August 21, 2025

8/21/25 Good morning, Friends,  1 Thessalonians 4:11 -11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet 🤫 life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you, Everybody these days wants to shine. Social media has people chasing likes, clout, and attention, trying to be seen instead of just being faithful. But the Word of God cuts through all that noise: “Lead a quiet life. Mind your business. Work with your hands.” That’s not flashy. That won’t go viral. But that’s the grind God respects. See, real strength isn’t in being loud, it’s in being steady. Paul’s saying, stop being thirsty for the spotlight, stop running your mouth in other people’s affairs, and stop leaning on folks when you could be putting in your own work. Truth is, mooching off others while you got the ability to grind is lazy, and laziness is sin. God gave you gifts, skills, and breath in your lungs so use them. Don’t be that person always asking but never giving, always watching b...

Daily Devotional - September 10, 2025

9/10/25 Good morning, Friends, Psalm 69:1 LSB [1] Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life. Have you ever felt like life was drowning you? Like problems kept piling up 📈, bills, stress, health, relationships, and no matter how hard you tried, you just couldn’t keep your head above water? That’s exactly how David felt when he wrote ✍🏾 this verse. He wasn’t talking about actual water 🌊, he was describing the feeling of being overwhelmed and sinking fast. Instead of trying to fight 🥊 through it on his own, David cried out to God: “Save me, O God.” That’s the turning point. When we reach the end of ourselves, God is still strong enough to lift us up. Let's keep it 💯 with God. You don’t have to fake it with Him. If you’re struggling, tell Him straight up. He can handle your honest prayers. Depend on Him!! You don’t have to do life alone or in your own strength. God is able to rescue, comfort, and steady you when you feel like you’re going under. If you fee...
