“Why are wee also in ieopardie euery houre? By your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly” (1 Corinthians 15:30, 31 1560 Geneva Bible). Father God, we must lay down ourselves to You daily. What is it You would have us do today? Who needs prayer? Do we have sins […]

“And last of all he [Jesus Christ] was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God” (1 Corinthians 15:8, 9 KJV). Father, if Paul can be saved […]
