Thursday, January 8th, 2025 4:38 am Good morning! Today I am in Matthew 5:43-48, and Luke 6:27-36. Jesus tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Do good to those who hate us, and bless those who curse us. Give to anyone who asks, and when things are taken from us, don't try to get them back. Do to others as we would have them do to us. Lend to others without expecting to be repaid. Then our reward in heaven will be great, and we will prove tha

Wednesday, January 7th, 2026 4:37 am Good morning! Today I am in Matthew 5:38-42. Jesus tells us that instead of an eye for an eye, to turn the other cheek. To not seek revenge when someone harms us, but to try to help them. To give to those who ask and don't turn away from those who want to borrow. Unfortunately, our first response when someone hurts us usually is that we want to get them back for what they have done to us. But God does not want us to do that. He wan

Tuesday, January 6th, 2026 4:02 am Good morning! Today I am in Matthew 5:33-37. Jesus tells the people around them that their ancestors were told not to break their vows, but He tells them not to even make vows. Don't tell someone that you swear you will do something, but just telling someone a simple yes I will or no I won't. He tells us anything other than that is from the evil one. God wants us to be people that keep our promises or keep our word when we say we are g

Monday, January 5th, 2026 4:22 am Good morning! Today I am in Matthew 5:31-37. Jesus is telling the people around Him that the law says that a man can divorce his wife by just giving her a written notice of divorce, but He tells them that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries her is also committing adultery. Jesus did not condone divorce. He sees marriage as a lifelong commitment, not just some

Sunday, January 4th, 2026 8:36 am Good Morning! Today I am in Matthew 5:27-30. Jesus tells the people that not only should they not commit adultery, but that anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. He goes on to say that if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out, for it is better to lose one part of your body than to go to hell with your whole body. Then He says the same thing about your hand. Jesus is talking a

Saturday, January 3rd, 2025 8:57 am Good morning! Today I am in Matthew 5:21-26. Jesus tells His disciples and the crowd that they have heard their ancestors say that they must not commit murder, for if you do you will be subject to judgment. But He tells them that if they are even angry with someone, they are subject to judgment. If they call someone an idiot, they are in danger of being brought to court. Or if they curse someone, they are in danger of the fires of hel

Friday, January 2nd, 2026 9:04 am Good morning! Today I am in Matthew 5:17-20. Jesus tells His disciples and the crowd around Him that He did not come to abolish the Law of Moses or the writings of the old prophets but to accomplish their purpose. Telling them that not even one small detail of God's law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. So if they ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, they would be called the least in the Kingdom of He

Thursday, January 1st, 2026 8:35 am Good morning! Happy New Year! Today I am in Matthew 5:13-16. Right after Jesus gives the Beatitudes to His disciples He tells them that they are the salt of the earth. That salt is no good if it has lost its flavor, it would be thrown out and trampled as worthless. Then He tells them they are the light of the world, like a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. Saying that no one lights a lamp and hides it, instead they put it on a st

Tuesday, December 30th, 2025 4:29 am Good morning! Today I am in Mark 3:13-19 and Luke 6:12-16. Some time after Jesus was teaching the large crowd, He went up on another mountain alone, and prayed all night. The next morning, He called together all the disciples that were following Him, and chose 12 of them to be His apostles. These 12 would be His inner circle. They would be accompanying Him, and He would send them out to preach and to cast out demons. Like we see in

He tells them that He does not testify on His own behalf, for it would not be valid, but that someone else also testified about Him, and everything he said was true. That John the Baptist was a burning and shining lamp. They listened to him and even investigated him, and everything he said about Him was true.

As He was walking along, He saw Matthew (Mark and Luke call Him Levi) sitting in his tax collector's booth. Jesus looked at Matthew and told him to follow Him and be His disciple.

Be healed!" Instantly the man was healed. Jesus told the man to not tell anyone about what
