BYTES~ Word Study: The Riches of His Kindness By Meaghan Spies But when the kindness and the love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit , whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of Eternal Life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly , that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.  Titus 3:4‭-‬8 NKJV Our God Is Rich The riches of His kindness . What profound words, rich with meaning because they are a true reflection of the nature of God . Our God is rich .  He is rich and generous in everything good. He is the personification and the source of abundant life . God epitomizes all you ha...

BYTES~ Word Study: LOVE Love Is A Choice, Not Merely A Feeling Romans 5:5 ¹(NKJV) Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. A couple I knew was having some marital issues. The husband, after another night of arguing, asked me what he should do if he had fallen out of love with his wife. I consulted with the Holy Spirit for the best possible response to his query. I told him, “ Love is a choice, not merely a feeling. There will be many days in your marriage when you will wake up in the morning and feel that you no longer love your spouse. That is when you must make a choice, determining in your heart and mind, to love your spouse. It is up to you to start each day by making the choice to love your spouse despite your differences. That is what love is all about.” What Is Love? ‘ ²Aheb and ³Agapao are two words used to depict love, the first from the Old Testament and the second from th...

BYTES~ Pray Without Ceasing A Fresh Byte  with   Meaghan Spies You Can Pray Without Ceasing 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 Pray Without Ceasing,…for this is the will of God concerning you. When Holy Spirit  first spoke to my heart many years ago regarding Praying Without Ceasing , I thought I had discovered the first error in the Bible. Surely God the Holy Spirit must have made a mistake giving this commandment, or Paul had heard Him wrong but decided to include the verse in his writings anyway because it sounded super spiritual. Nobody could possibly  pray without ceasing   unless they did not have kids or a job, right? But God never makes mistakes.

So when Jesus instructs us to pray without ceasing , He knows as Believers we can fulfill this mitzvah, or commandment, through Him who loves us, who str...
