Mark 5:18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. This morning, part of my Bible reading was from Mark chapter five. It’s the story of the maniac of Gadara. He was possessed with a legion of demons. He …
1 Thess. 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. It’s that time of year again!

Luke 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. Sometimes my spiritual focus gets all out of whack. I look around at my broken down furniture and my worn out clothes and start feeling sorry for myself. We didn’t …

Daniel 2:17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions.18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.God’s Word never runs dry!
