Life in God
An unmarried woman or a virgin concerns herself with the Lord’s work, because she wants to be dedicated both in body and spirit; but a married woman concerns herself with worldly matters, because she wants to please her husband. I am saying this because I want to help you. I am not trying to put… Read more

Keep your eyes on Jesus
Then Peter spoke up. ‘Lord, if it is really you, order me to come out on the water to you.’ ‘Come!’answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and started to sink down in the water…. Read more

The gift of peace
I am listening to what the LORD God is saying; he promises peace to us, his own people, if we do not go back to our foolish ways. Surely he is ready to save those who honour him, and his saving presence will remain in our land. (verses 8,9) Read Psalm 85: 8-13 When we… Read more

Either-or or in?
Considering the present distress, I think it is better for a man to stay as he is. Have you got a wife? Then don’t try to get rid of her. Are you unmarried? Then don’t look for a wife. But if you do marry, you haven’t committed a sin; and if an unmarried woman marries,… Read more

Serving where you are
Each of you should remain as you were when you accepted God’s call. Were you a slave when God called you? Well, never mind; but if you have a chance to become free, use it. For a slave who has been called by the Lord is the Lord’s free person; in the same way a… Read more

Me, a temple?
Avoid immorality. Any other sin a man commits does not affect his body; but the man who is guilty of sexual immorality sins against his own body. Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not… Read more

The law of love
If any of you have a dispute with another Christian, how dare he go before heathen judges instead of letting God’s people settle the matter? Don’t you know that God’s people will judge the world? Well, then, if you are to judge the world, aren’t you capable of judging small matters? Do you not know… Read more

The power of love
Jesus got out of the boat, and when he saw the large crowd, his heart was filled with pity for them, and he healed those who were ill. That evening his disciples came to him and said, ‘It is already very late, and this is a lonely place. Send the people away and let them… Read more

Look to the life-giver
All living things look hopefully to you, and you give them food when they need it. You give them enough and satisfy the needs of all. (verses 15,16) Read Psalm 145:8, 9, 14-21 It’s very likely that you will eat and drink today, just as you have done every day of your life. Today’s verses… Read more
