Love God and love your neighbor--on these two hang the whole of the commandments. 31 “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33 and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. 34 “Then the King will say to… Read more »

Sometimes God takes forever to answer prayers and sometimes it's same day delivery! Last week, God answered one of my prayers almost instantaneously. He gave me a vision of the true vine, which led me to study John 15 in a whole new light! 1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. 3 You ar… Read more »
