Psalm 8:3 . When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place. To respect God’s majesty, we must compare ourselves to His greatness. When we observe creation, we often feel small in comparison. Feeling small is a healthy way to reconnect with reality, but God does not want us to dwell on our smallness. Humility means showing proper respect for God, not self-deprecation. When we look at the vast expanse of creation, we

R omans 10:14-15 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15. And how can they preach unless they are sent? How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news! The conditions necessary to call on Christ and be saved are (1) a preacher sent from God, (2) proclamation of the message, (3) hearing the message, and (4) believing the m

Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.  Not many of you were wise  by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.  But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1 Cor.1:26-27   Is Christianity against rational thinking? Christians clearly do believe in using their minds to weigh the evidence and make wise choices.  Paul is declaring that no

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. 3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts . 2 Cor. 3:2-3 (NIV) As though the spirit were a substitute for ink! Ink fades and may be easily deleted or blocked out since it is no more than an inanimate fluid. But the Spirit of the Living God is Himself

But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16 To the one, we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task? 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ

He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one. John 11:51-52 For the scattered children of God. Jesus’ death would have effects far beyond the nation. By: Shirley Casseta Leger November 10, 2025

“We were promised sufferings. They were part of the program. We were even told, ‘Blessed are they that mourn,’ and I accept it. I have nothing that I hadn’t bargained for. Of course, it is different when the thing happens to oneself, not to others, and in reality, not imagination.”— C.S. Lewis.     Shirley Casseta Leger November 10, 2025

7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write : Rev. 3:7-13   These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they ar

I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move.

Life Application Study Bible; Published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. The simple statement that God created the heavens and the earth is one of the most challenging concepts confronting the modern mind. The vast galaxy we inhabit is spinning at an incredible speed of 490,000 miles per hour.  But even at this breakneck speed, our galaxy still needs 200 million years to make one rotation. And there are over one billion other galaxies just like ours in the universe. Some sci

Life Application Study Bible; Published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. The Bible does not address the topic of evolution. Instead, its worldview assumes that God created the world. This biblical view of creation is not at odds with science; rather, it conflicts with any worldview that excludes a Creator. The Bible not only affirms that God created the world but also reveals who this God is—His Personality, Character, and plan for His creation. It also demonstrates God’s de

That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephesians. 1:10 Paul uses a significant term here that is not only used for adding up a column of figures , but also for the process of adding up a column of figures .  A contemporary way of putting it might be to say that in a world of confusion, where things do not “add up” or make sense, we look forward to th

With a quick review of Genesis, we will discover that God has told us more about His presence in creation and in history than about the details of human civilization. A.W. Tozer Shirley Casseta Leger October 29, 2025

This morning, I learned from my friend's husbands that she passed away. I thought of this poem! I thought of sharing, perhaps others could be experiencing the same situations. Sympathy is your hurt within my heart; O Friend, may I come in and take your hand. And say a healing word and have a part.  Is this your grief? How well I understand! For I have gone the whole long, weary way; I know how steep the slopes, how rough the road; But also, Friend, I know there comes a day wh

I am the first and I am the last: apart from me, there is no God. Isaiah 44:6 . All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Isaiah 44:9 TODAY’S IDOLATRY: Isaiah tells us, “Who shapes a god and casts an idol, which can profit him nothing?  We often think of idols as statues made of wood or stone, but in reality, an idol is anything natural that is given sacred value and power.  If your answer to any of the following questions is anything or anyo

John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them at the last day. People do not come to Christ strictly on their own initiative; the Father draws them.  By: Shirley Casseta Leger October 24, 2025

1 Cor. 2:9 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him” We cannot imagine all that God has in store for us, both in this life and for eternity.  He will create a new heaven and a new earth (Isaiah 65:17; Revelation 21:1), and we will live with Him forever.  Until then, His Holy Spirit comforts and guides us.  Knowing the wonderful and eternal future that awaits us gives us hope and courage to press on in this life, to
