Dallas Second Baptist Church

As God's people, we are blessed by Him so that we can be a blessing to others. He uses our experiences so that we can spread the fragrance of Christ to those around us. Let's look ahead for a great week!

We should never be afraid or ashamed to speak frankly and openly with the Lord in prayer. He wants to hear exactly what's on our mind. He already knows the burdens our hearts are bearing, and we have the freedom to approach Him with conviction and bold honesty. There is always mercy, grace, and help to be found when we ask!.

James 1:22-23 -- "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass." A child of God desires to please God and follow His word. We can try the best we can, and sometimes we don't get it right because we are not perfect. BUT, we are being perfected in small steps to be more like Christ as we obey God's Word.

Do you have a favorite Bible verse(s)? God has provided His Word to offer us help, guidance, and comfort, but there might be one or two particular verses that mean something special to you. Would you share it with us?
