We make our lives complicated. This verse expresses and explains the simplicity of God. All of God’s principles and expectations are simple, but we like to “human” things up as I say. We complicate and nit pick, pick apart everything God has to say and respond… but God?!? Paul lays it out as simple as there are two

Many believe that Paul is the author of Hebrews. The author starts a three-step process to moving the reader to be roused spiritually and start moving forward. The first step is in today’s verse for the January Scripture writing plan: His Mercies are New each day. The author writes. “let us draw near…” He is saying take

There are three critical elements of salvation: death, burial and resurrection. Nothing but faith in the person and work of Jesus is sufficient to reconcile us to God and save us from our sin.

I have absolutely enjoyed this month’s theme of God’s Mercies are New each Day! I hope they have been an encouragement to you and your own spiritual journey. For February, I thought it would be a great month to focus our journey on exploring what God’s Word on the topic for love. I hope we can
