“But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

The Vagrant Faith: Having Everything, Owning Nothing
What are you trying to hang on to that Jesus wants you to let go of, and turn it over to him for safekeeping? I’ve had to give up some things in my life that I thought I never could, but ultimately brought me closer to Christ. “This earth is not my home, I’m just passing through.” How many times...

Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. “So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the...
