But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 2 Corinthians 4:7-8 (ESV) Adam is the Hebrew word for man. Scholars also agree that the name refers to red and ground. God formed Adam’s body from the ground, likely red clay. People say that humans have feet of clay; even those most admired remain vulnerable to fundamental faults and w

The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matt. 4: 16-17). Each one of us is a gift.

Bulletproof vests protect police officers in the line of duty. These vests can stop a bullet from penetrating the vital o

Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words…for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them (Romans 8:26-28 NTL). We serve a covenant-making God. Our Father likes agreements and partnerships. When we surrender our wills to Him, we become a part of His business. Our lives take on new meaning as we yield
