Luke 12: 27-31 [Jesus said] Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these.

Do not constantly chase after what you will eat or what you will…

Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” Applying God’s Word for today: Do you need a light?

All the world’s darkness…

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 For example, consider your call, brothers. Not many of you were wise from a human point of view, not many were powerful, and not many were born with high status.

God chose the weak things of the world to put to shame the things that are strong, and God chose the lowly things of the world and the despised things,…
