As the Bible calls us forward into new and fresh experiences of Christ, let's press forward into this coming new year (Heb. 10).

No matter what circumstances we’re in, the Lord has abundant provisions ready for us (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 2:1-21).

We should never get carried away and think the giving started with us or that we are out-giving God (Matthew 2:9-11).

The Scriptures command our obedience. There are at least two very good reasons for following the commands of Scripture: 1) Relational and 2) (Jeremiah 36:22-32; Matt. 28:19-20; Luke 6:46; John 8:43, 14:23-24; 1 Timothy 4:13-16; 2 Timothy 3:14-16).

The scriptures invite us into a journey involving salvation, and spiritual experience (Ex. 34:5-9, 2 Thess. 2:14).

The scriptures describe, express God in language we can understand (John 1:1, 2 Cor. 3:15-18).
