The voice of this world boldly proclaims self-righteousness, determined to change God's laws to suit their modern lifestyles. And many Christians are deceived into believing that God accepts these changes so the world can be a better place to live. But as God's children, we must study our Bibles continually to know Him and His … Continue reading The Voice We Hear
So Worthy!
Sin separated us from God, so He promised to send a Savior to remove the sin and redeem us back to Himself. God told us repeatedly throughout the Old Testament that it was He who would be that Savior! He left His throne in Heaven to come to earth and become a man so He … Continue reading So Worthy!
It’s the Little Things
Sometimes we can see God's greatness more in the little things in our lives than we can in the big things. It's when God answers our private, quiet prayers for something that might seem insignificant to others that we see how great God is and how important we are to Him. These blessings affirm to … Continue reading It’s the Little Things
Freedom
As the world heads deeper into sin, it's getting harder in many areas to gather in the Lord's house to worship Him and fellowship with each other. So we gather when we can and worship our Lord in our homes when we can't because our heart is to praise Him. But one day—and very soon, … Continue reading Freedom
No Appointment Needed
In this world, we have to make appointments, follow the rules of red tape and hope that our issues are important enough to get someone's attention. But as Christians, we belong to God, and His Spirit lives in us and NEVER leaves us, so we can tell Him our issues any time of day or … Continue reading No Appointment Needed
One Glorious Night!
The Christmas season is upon us, and there is no better way to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior than to share it with others! I wrote a book called, One Glorious Night, and I believe that God inspired me to write it. Each time I read it, I am blessed because the … Continue reading One Glorious Night!
Working Together for Good
One thing about life is that sometimes it presents unexpected surprises, some good and some not so good. But as God's children, we take everything to Him in prayer and rest in Him because, as the Scriptures tell us, our ways are not always God's ways. And when we trust God to take care of … Continue reading Working Together for Good
Living in Distrust and Fear
It's hard to trust people anymore. So many would prefer to adhere to the world's new-age laws that oppose God's laws rather than follow Godly principles with integrity. And many people (even Christians) live in distrust and fear because of it. But, as Christians, we can live in peace when we study the Scriptures to … Continue reading Living in Distrust and Fear
A Time to Sing!
As we enter the Christmas season, surrounded by music, glittering lights, and amazing decorations, our hearts are filled with joy. The world glorifies Santa, but as Christians, we celebrate Jesus! We see beyond the gifts and decorations and remember that the birth of Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise of a coming Savior. It … Continue reading A Time to Sing!
In Times of Trouble
When problems come against us, we need to RUN to God immediately for help and not try our own solutions out first. God not only sees the big picture, BUT Jesus has already defeated the devil, so let's not give glory to the enemy by attempting to beat him on our own merits because we … Continue reading In Times of Trouble
I Am Not Ashamed
When we meet someone and that person becomes a dear friend who we love and respect, we are not ashamed to call them our friend, and we can't hide our feelings just because others don't like them. We are proud to walk with them anywhere, and we talk about them to others so they'll know … Continue reading I Am Not Ashamed
Unfailing Love
When we get caught up with life's issues and don't spend time with God, we begin to feel empty and separated from Him—and this is exactly what the devil wants. This is why we must read the Bible, spend time in prayer, and surround ourselves with worship music daily because then our hearts and minds … Continue reading Unfailing Love
Mercy, Peace, and Love
The peace, love, and joy of life that we once knew through reverencing God's laws have been replaced with challenge and even stress because of new social rights and opinions. As Christians, we need to continually study the Scriptures and spend time in prayer and worship to know God's truth and live in His peace. … Continue reading Mercy, Peace, and Love
How to See God
Many Christians don't realize that accepting the salvation of Jesus means we are forgiven for our sins, but we are not perfect. We can still be tempted by sins and habits that will keep us from God's presence if we don't study the Scriptures to know God and draw close to Him. The more we … Continue reading How to See God
We Wait
We have so much to thank God for, beginning with our salvation. Because of Jesus, our sins are gone and we are able to come to God with our prayers and know that He not only hears them, but He answers them. God is a judge to the world, but to us, He's our Heavenly … Continue reading We Wait
Defeating the Impossible
We say it, but do we really believe that God can do anything? That regardless of how hopeless or impossible the plight is for us, it is NOT impossible for our Lord? God created the universe with the stars and the moon, and the earth with its oceans and mountains, and He made you and … Continue reading Defeating the Impossible
Riches, Honor, and Life!
Rewards and honor given to us in this world are because it recognizes us as being more worthy than others to receive them. Yet, they are temporal, conditional and will lose their value in time. But ALL rewards and honor that God gives us come because we humble ourselves before Jesus and recognize Him as … Continue reading Riches, Honor, and Life!
How to Fight and Win!
We have no power on our own merits to fight the devil that influences this world with sin and corruption because he is spiritual, and the battle we fight is spiritual. But when we study the Scriptures and grow in God's truth, and put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), we become warriors … Continue reading How to Fight and Win!
What Nature Reveals
We are surrounded by unrest and chaos because of sin, and that won't change until Jesus returns as King. BUT we are also surrounded by the beauty of His amazing creation that we know as "Nature." How we view our surroundings is the same way we view water in a glass. For us who love … Continue reading What Nature Reveals
Come With Gladness
It's difficult to praise someone who we've only heard about but don't know personally. It's hard to share the gospel with others and sound convincing when we don't even know it ourselves. As Christians, we need to dig into the Scriptures to know Jesus, and we have to spend time in prayer and worship to … Continue reading Come With Gladness
Peace and Confidence!
Our minds are like sponges, and they absorb whatever is around them. This is why the Bible says to study the Word and meditate on the Scriptures day and night and think on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, are of good report, and have virtue. We are to commit our thoughts to God because … Continue reading Peace and Confidence!
How to Be a Productive Christian
The people of this world surrender to its ways, not realizing that the world's lord is the devil who rules over them. However, as Christians, our allegiance is to Jesus because HE is OUR Lord, and we surrender to His authority, which we know by reading the Bible. Whatever He said is what He meant … Continue reading How to Be a Productive Christian
Whoever Shall Call
Jesus looked down from Heaven at His creation and was angry that the people preferred to live in sin and mock Him rather than know the truth and obey Him. He could have judged and condemned us at any time because of our sin, but He loves us, and so put His Deity aside and … Continue reading Whoever Shall Call
There is Hope
Jesus knows of our sin, and He's made way for us to be forgiven and redeemed back to our Heavenly Father. We live in this world, and God takes care of us, but we no longer belong to it because we are citizens of Heaven! The people who refuse God's salvation have been deceived by … Continue reading There is Hope
Good Gifts
God loves us, and He enjoys blessing us with the desires of our hearts when we ask for them and even when we don't ask for them. He's a good Father who also disciplines us so we'll stay on the path that leads us Home. Sometimes we get things we don't ask for or don't … Continue reading Good Gifts
Smile, God Loves You!
