Key Verse: “Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” — Psalm 119:18 Have you ever looked straight at something and still missed what was really happening?

Biblical Justice and Righteousness: A Heart God Delights In

When we hear the words justice and righteousness, we may think of courtrooms, rules, politics, or people trying to appear better than others.

No Fear of the Lord

Scripture focus: Romans 3:18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Romans 3:18 is a short verse, but it carries a loud warning for this generation: “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” When reverence for God is missing, people begin to live as if they answer to no one.
