Happy New Year!! A New Creation in Christ

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

We all have New Year Resolutions, things we have been trying to accomplish but didn't get a chance to last year, in 2010, or things that we see as new ventures in this new year. Let us put them before God and seek Him first knowing that all the things that we want will be added unto us.

Pray for Me as I Pray for You

"Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed." James 5:16

Isn't it good to have a best friend whom you feel like you can share everything with? Share your deepest and innermost thoughts and transgressions? James says here that we ought to confess our trespasses to one another. How hard is that! It may be especially hard when
