Sunday Nourishment For The Soul

“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up”

With the knowledge that God is the Father of all people, we desire to love and bless others. 

As we love and support one another in the Church, we become a power in the world for good. We express love for our fellowmen by serving them. 

We need to appreciate and love people for themselves. When we love the Lord with all our hearts and our neighbors as ourselves, we are in harmony with all sacred law.

The love of Jesus Christ must be our guide if we are to become aware of the needs of those we can help in some way.

The result of humility and meekness is harmony in our hearts

Have a blessed Sabbath

Sunday Nourishment For The Soul

The Hope of God's Light

Many of us have wondered if God knows us or if He even exists. Todd was someone who made fun of people who thought God was real, and he wasn’t surprised when he didn’t get an immediate answer to a prayer.

But could God be giving us small but obvious answers? And how patient do we need to be to get those answers?
