Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will come to know God's will for you, which is good, pleasing, and perfect. God has good, pleasing, and perfect plans for His children. He wants us to be transformed people with renewed minds, living to honour and obey Him. Because He wants only what is best for us and because He gave His Son to make our new life possible, we shou

Psalm 34:17-18 The LORD hears His people when they call to Him for help. He rescued them from all their troubles. 18. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and harder to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.” - C.S. Lewis.   By: Shirley C. Leger January 1

1 Peter 4:10 (NIV) Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. Our abilities should be faithfully used to serve others; none are for our exclusive enjoyment.  Some people, well aware of their abilities, believe they have the right to use them as they please. Others feel they have no special talent at all.  Peter addresses both groups in these verses. Everyone has some gifts; find yours and u

James 2:1 My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our Glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favour some people over others? James condemns acts of favouritism. We must commit our mind and heart to Christ. Shirley C. Leger January 13, 2026

He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain. All these things will be gone forever. Revelation 21:4 Have you ever wondered what eternity will be like? “The Holy City, the new Jerusalem,” is described as the place where God will remove all sorrows. Forevermore, there will be no death, grief, crying, or pain. What a wonderful truth! No matter what you are going through, it’s not the last word – God has written the final chap

Hebrews  13:5-6 5. Don’t love money; be content with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you, I never abandon you.” 6. So we can say with confidence; The LORD is my Helper, so I will have no fear, what can mere people do to me?” H ow can we learn to be satisfied with what we have? Strive to live with less rather than desiring more; instead of accumulating more, relish what you have and resist resenting what you’re missing. We become satisfied when we realize G

Sermon on the Mount Mt 7:13-14 (NIV) “ Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” The gate that leads to eternal life (John 10:7-9) is called “narrow”.  This does not mean it is difficult to become a Christian, but rather that there is only one way to eternal life with God, and only a few choose to walk that

Jesus Teaches about the Way to Heaven!

2 Chronicles 20:6 Jehoshaphat stood before the community. He prayed, “O LORD, God of our ancestors, You alone are the God who is in heaven.  You are the Ruler of all the kingdoms of the earth.  You are Mighty; no one can stand against you! Jehoshaphat’s prayer had several essential ingredients. (1) He committed the situation to God, acknowledging that God could save the nation. (2) He sought God’s favour because His people were God’s people. (3) He acknowledged God’s sovereig

Jeremiah 9:23-24 This is what your LORD says: “Don't let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches.24. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know Me and understand I am the LORD who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings Justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things.  I, the LORD, have spoken.   People tend to admire three things in others: wisdom,

“I am the Alpha and the Omega – the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the One who is, who always was, and who is still to come – the Almighty One.” (Revelation 1:8)    ( Isaiah 46:10 ). Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish. God is unique in His knowledge and in His control of the future.  His consistent purpose is to carry out what He has planned.  When we are tempted to pursue anyt

Philippians 4:8-9 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Whatever we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words and actions. Paul tells us to program our minds with t

Psalm 139 13-15 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, and I know that full well.15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. God’s character is present in the creation of every person.  When you feel worthless or even begin to hate yourself, remember that God’s Spirit is rea

1 Cor.2:9 (NIV) However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—the things God has prepared for those who love him— “As we think today of the Saviour’s birth, let us aspire to a fresh birth of the Saviour in our hearts; that as He is already ‘formed in us the hope of glory’, we may go to the Bethlehem of our spiritual nativity and do our first works, enjoy our first loves, and feast with Jesus as we did in the hol

John 10:22-42 (NIV) Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us. plainly.” 25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep list

John 15:11–13 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that He lay down his life for his friends. May God give you peace with yourselves; may He provide you with Goodwill towards your friends, your enemies, and your neighbours, and may He give you grace to give glory to God in the Highest. – C.H. Spurgeon. By: Shirley Casseta Leger December 1

Hebrews 13:16 : “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” Luke 6:30 :  “Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. John 15:13 : “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. Acts of kindness and sharing are especially pleasing to God, even when they go unnoticed by others .

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter until the full day. Proverbs 4:18 I guide you on the path of wisdom and lead you on straight roads. As you walk, your steps won't stumble; when you run, you will not fall.   “When you have reached your own room, be kind to those who have chosen different doors and to those who are still in the hall.” – C.S. Lewis. Shirley Casseta Leger, December 2025

Let us not grow tired of doing good, for at the right time we will harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to everyone. Galatians 6:9 It can be discouraging to keep doing right and get no thanks or visible results. But Paul challenged the Galatians, and he challenges us to continue doing good and trust God for the outcomes; we will reap a harvest of blessings.   Y ou cannot go back and change the beginning, but you can start from wh

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when you can help. Do not tell your neighbour, “Come back; I’ll give it tomorrow,” when you already possess it. Proverbs 3:27-28 Delaying to do good is inconsiderate and unfair, whether it is repaying a loan, returning a tool, or fulfilling a promise. Withholding damages trust and causes inconvenience. Be as eager to do good as you are to have good done to you. “And when the Lord Jesus has become your peace, remember, there is an
