read moreOur Greatest Possession
Our greatest possession is nothing of this world. The source of this great possession is God who supplies it to believers. The Apostle Paul devoted a whole chapter to defining this cherished possession. He concluded the chapter with, “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” I Corinthians 13:13 These three remaining spiritual virtues are the basis of our faith. Paul listed them as faith, hope, and charity (God’s love) with love being the greatest. Besides being the greatest Christian virtue love is...

Aren’t true friends a real blessing? Friends can be a much welcomed source of comfort, help or just an enjoyable companion. True friends are few in number. It has been said that we are fortunate if we have two or three “true-blue” friends. We all have been unexpectedly hurt or let down by supposed friends, fringe friends, who weren’t the true friends we thought them to be. Friendship problems plagued Bible persons. Remember Job?
