"at home in the body". The body is a comfortable home for some, for others it is racked with pain or disabled with infirmity. For all who love the Lord and look for His appearing there should be the knowledge that this home is temporary. Don't get too comfortable or the Lord may put a ... Read more

"You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God". What has God been doing with you all these years? Fed and clothed you while others wasted away?

"God has revealed them to us through his Spirit". The Apostle Paul writes about the hidden wisdom of God - something that the rulers and nobility of this world knew nothing of, or they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

"treasure in heaven". The wonder is that more do not see the great opportunity life affords each one to lay up treasure in heaven.
