Life changes as we age. When we suffer from health issues or financial stresses, we can't do what we used to do, and often feel useless to the Lord. We forget that God is the Creator of everything and doesn't NEED our help in anything (Job 38:4). We serve Him because we love Him and … Continue reading Open Arms!
Truth and Hope!
God doesn't leave anything to chance. He sees everything—the past, present, and future! He knows everything—what's happening in the world and to each of us personally, and is watching the devil's fight—to steal, kill, and destroy both Christians and non-Christians through deception in these last days. But God loves us, and when we know Jesus … Continue reading Truth and Hope!
The Devil Trembles!
God is Holy and perfect, the Creator of everything, who holds the keys to hell and death. He says what He means and means what He says, is fair and not a respector of persons, biased or racist, offering His grace of salvation to every living soul. But the devil is an evil fallen angel … Continue reading The Devil Trembles!
I See the Good in Today!
I can't do this life on my own strength. This evil world is deceiving, controlling, and overpowering, and I'm no match for its wiles. But because I know Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I have the victory. Jesus defeated the devil, the source of all evil, on the cross when He took on our … Continue reading I See the Good in Today!
Words of Kindness
Christians are forgiven, not perfect. As we grow in the Lord, we'll face situations that might spark old habits or ways of dealing with them, but as we study the Bible to know Jesus, the fruits of His Spirit will lead us (love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, meekness, faith, and self-control). When we criticize … Continue reading Words of Kindness
Who We Are!
It's crucial that as Christians, we know who we are in Christ. We're not just a name or a group of people who gather together on Sundays; we are followers of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We study the Bible to know Him and spend time in prayer and worship to develop our relationship with … Continue reading Who We Are!
Doing the Right Thing!
Doing the right thing in this evil world can be a challenge because people are easily swayed into doing things its way. But when we are committed to the Lord and focus on Him, we study the Bible to get His Word into our hearts and minds. Then, when situations arise, God's Spirit keeps us … Continue reading Doing the Right Thing!
The Myth of Good Works
Good works will not get us into Heaven. Yet, many are deceived into believing they will; others think they can buy their way into Heaven, and many more assume we're all going there anyway. But there's only ONE way to get into Heaven—Jesus! We must realize that God and Heaven are Holy, that we are … Continue reading The Myth of Good Works
Praying With Confidence!
This evil world has nothing to give us except sorrows as it races into God's wrath. But God gives us everything! He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and redeem us back to Himself, and when we accept Jesus as our Savior, He fills us with His Spirit—we are children of … Continue reading Praying With Confidence!
The Test of Faith
Many pray and go to church, but are concerned about how to act and react the way a Christian should. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 13:5 to examine ourselves—and only WE can test our hearts. If our words, actions, and thoughts don't naturally line up with God's, it could be because we haven't yet … Continue reading The Test of Faith
Hidden Strength!
Joy is the last emotion we feel in times of trouble. As Christians, we know we'll have problems—but also that the Lord will get us through them all with victory when we trust Him. The onus is on us to refocus our thoughts, to not allow ourselves to be overtaken by negative emotion, but to … Continue reading Hidden Strength!
No Excuse
Apostasy is spreading like fire. Why? Because wannabee Christians hear the good things about Jesus, but refuse to humble themselves and commit to Him, choosing to interpret His Word their way. They teach lies about the Bible, and after a while, many walk away saying Christianity doesn't work. But they weren't Christians in the first … Continue reading No Excuse
Our Instant Prayer Hotline
Patience has become a virtue of the past, even for many Christians. We pray about a situation and expect God to respond immediately on the Instant Prayer Hotline. But we must remember that we serve the Lord with humility; He is not our personal genie. God loves us, watches over and cares for us, and … Continue reading Our Instant Prayer Hotline
Fear Ends in Victory
When we don't have answers to an obvious disaster that lies ahead, fear sets in. It's a tactic Satan uses to control people and nations, but when we know Jesus, he has no control over us. The devil knows the power of God, and when we know Jesus as our Savior, he sees Jesus in … Continue reading Fear Ends in Victory
The Lie That Destroys
Many false teachers proclaim that when we accept Jesus as our Savior, life will be an entourage of blessings and fulfilled dreams. But this is a lie that's destroying many because Jesus warned us that we WOULD have tribulation in this world because the devil hates us and wants to destroy us. But the good … Continue reading The Lie That Destroys
One Last Message
After Jesus rose from the grave, He visited His disciples to comfort and encourage them, and they knew He was the promised Messiah, their King. Jesus told them that as soon as He returned to Heaven, He'd send His Spirit to fill their hearts. Then He gave them their mission—and this is for every spirit-filled … Continue reading One Last Message
Happy Resurrection Day!
Today, Christians celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus! He suffered the punishment of relentless beatings and the torture of the cross that we deserved. He took our sins to hell and then rose from the grave and returned to Heaven, giving us eternal life. Our sins have been forgiven! We have … Continue reading Happy Resurrection Day!
Jesus Set the Captives Free!
False religion says Jesus was born again in hell. Lies! Jesus is the Son of God; He's the same today as He was yesterday and is tomorrow, pure, perfect, Holy. He is God in the flesh, and God can't die, but people can. God watched us fall into sin, doomed for eternal hell, and with … Continue reading Jesus Set the Captives Free!
Behold, the Lamb of God!
As the lamb is inspected for purity before it's sacrificed on the altar, so was Jesus inspected by Pontius Pilate, who found Him without fault. But the envious chief priests wanted Jesus dead. So Pilate gave in and allowed the soldiers to beat His face beyond recognition, whip Him 39 times with the cat of … Continue reading Behold, the Lamb of God!
The Last Supper
Jesus gathered with His disciples in an upper room to celebrate the Passover, when the angel of death passed over the homes of those who had obediently sprinkled the blood of a lamb over their doorposts. Jesus took the bread, blessed it, and shared it, saying it was symbolic of His body that would soon … Continue reading The Last Supper
