Thought for Today – John 15:1-8
15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you.

The Vine and the Branches – John MacArthur
At key points in His ministry, Christ emphasized His equality with God in the clearest possible terminology. The strongest affirmations of His deity employed the name for God used when the Father first revealed Himself to Moses—”I AM” (Exodus 3:14).

Living as Sons and Daughters
“I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty(2 Corinthians 6:18). Satan wants us to see ourselves as slaves and orphans, not sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. The marketplace wants to make us slaves living from performance instead of our heart. In Luke 15:11-32 we …
Thought for Today – Psalm 139:7-10
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?8 If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there.9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,10 even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold …
