“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” revelation 4:11 As you probably noticed, this is the KJV of the Verse. Normally, I use the NASB, but today used it because when I was first converted

“But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.” Revelation 2:4 Of the 7 Churches in Revelation, this is the only one that has a Letter in the New Testament as well. And of all the Churches that Paul writes, is there any that stand out so significant as Ephesus? In

“Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14 Right up with Romans 12, this is one of my favorite Chapters!
