Greeting Your Friends Only
Matthew 5:46-48 “For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Being friendly and…

God’s Favorite
Psalms 41:11 “By this I know that thou favorist me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.” (KJ Bible) Many times I think about how our world has come to see each other. I think about how that affects me and how I see myself. We are being bombarded with this world and their…
