Praying alone for someone isn't easy when others say it's hopeless. But God wants us to keep praying even if we don't see any change. These are His children whom He loves and whose sins will take them to hell if they don't receive His salvation. Every prayer breaks down the spiritual grip of the … Continue reading Don’t Lose Heart
You Are Loved
God's love for us is unconditional and eternal. We've drifted from Him because of sin and pushed Him out of our lives to worship other gods (self, money, lust, and power), but He has NEVER stopped loving us. He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and then raised Him from the … Continue reading You Are Loved
A Reason to Rejoice
Being joyful or at peace isn't easy when we're under personal attack in this chaotic world. But as Christians, we CAN when we focus on Jesus. He warned us of these evil days and how God would soon pour out His wrath upon this world. But we don't belong to this world; we belong to … Continue reading A Reason to Rejoice
His Plan Works
Life doesn't always happen as we plan it. Sometimes, God allows circumstances that force us to see the evil in this world and the hope in His salvation. When we become Christians, our values, priorities, and path of life change to fulfill His purpose in our lives. Sometimes, our answers to prayers won't be what … Continue reading His Plan Works
Words of Hope
As Christians, we pray about our circumstances. But when answers don't come, how and when we want them, we begin to doubt because we forget that God DOES hear and answer us, BUT often in His way and His timing. When we get anxious and speak doubt, our minds begin to believe what we hear … Continue reading Words of Hope
One Voice
New-age Christianity says that God speaks to us through thoughts and feelings. This is a lie that will keep us FROM God. The Scriptures are God's Words, given to men to record so we can read them, fill up on them, and know Him! As we study them, God's Spirit teaches us His Truth so … Continue reading One Voice
Truth and Mercy
The world is changing: love has become a conditional emotion, mercy is a limited right, and truth is a recognized opinion. Yet, God does not change! His love for us remains UNconditional and eternal; His mercies are everlasting, and His Truth endures forever. Nothing we say or do can change God's rule because He is … Continue reading Truth and Mercy
Facing Battles
Billy Graham is noted for saying, "If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it." God isn't a militant leader who appoints jobs and then leaves us alone to use our own means, thoughts, and strengths. Our battles are spiritual, and God wants us to be equipped through His Spirit to stand against … Continue reading Facing Battles
From the Heart
Being Christian is not about changing our ways to suit religious rules. It's about knowing that Jesus is the Son of God, the Savior who came to earth to save us from our sins. It's about us WANTING to turn from all of our worldly desires and habits to serve Him! It's about loving God … Continue reading From the Heart
Maybe Today!
False teachers and prophets are among us with deceiving messages about God's will for us (2 Peter 2:1). They say God has told them it's our year for prosperity and good health and that God wants to help us to be who WE want to be in this world. But this is NOT a message … Continue reading Maybe Today!
Unconditional Joy
To rejoice means to feel or show great joy. Emotional joy is conditional on how we feel and what makes us happy. But Christian joy fills our souls with unconditional delight because we know what Jesus has done, is doing, and will do for us. He's greater than our problems and has made way for … Continue reading Unconditional Joy
You Are Not Alone!
Sometimes we feel alone, as if no one cares or understands us. As Christians, the more we study the Scriptures to know Jesus, the further we drift from the world—and even our unsaved friends and loved ones. But we are NOT alone because Jesus is with us ALWAYS! We need to call out His name … Continue reading You Are Not Alone!
Who Changes?
One of the greatest challenges for Christians today is to stand for Truth and not blend with the world's religion. It's hard because many leaders have us convinced that God is changing to make our lives better so we can become part of modern-day society and still go to Heaven. But it's not okay. God … Continue reading Who Changes?
A Better End
Our first reaction to an unexpected problem is often negative because we think we know what the end result will be. But if we give it to God and TRUST Him with it, we'll see that God may have allowed it to happen to give us a BETTER end result. When we give our burdens … Continue reading A Better End
Battle of the Wills
There's a great barrier between our will and God's will. Sometimes, as Christians, we forget that Jesus is Lord over us, leads us and takes care of us, AND fights our battles for us--HIS way. When we stop trying to do things our way and instead, submit to His will and put our faith and … Continue reading Battle of the Wills
When Things Go Wrong
Sometimes, we'll rise early in the morning with great expectations for the day...and then it seems as if everything goes wrong. This is when we have to remember that God is greater than our problems, and thank Him for His love and mercy and praise Him anyway! God is good! If you're not following us … Continue reading When Things Go Wrong
Controlling Our Thoughts
Our emotions get us in trouble when our minds give in to their hostile cries. As Christians, we must study the Bible to fill our minds with God's Truth and then commit to thinking only about things that give Him glory. We'll see beyond this negative world and on to what He has prepared for … Continue reading Controlling Our Thoughts
I Love You Because
In the Old Testament, God commanded people to love Him to keep them from worshiping idols and missing His love and mercy. Then came our salvation! Now, when we make Jesus our Savior, we're redeemed back to God and filled with HIS Spirit, who teaches us all Truth as we study the Bible. We don't … Continue reading I Love You Because
Caught in the Storm
The chaos of this world often makes us feel like we're caught in a storm with no way out. The ones who seem to know it all continue to distress many with their adverse reports, filling them with fear and subjecting them to their control. Yet, as Christians, fear is not an option because our … Continue reading Caught in the Storm
We Are What We Say
Our words define who we are in our hearts. As Christians, we are God's ambassadors on this earth, and what we say reflects how others see Him. It's easy to get caught up in gossip and believe we're just sharing information, and it's equally destructive to speak badly and judge someone for what we think … Continue reading We Are What We Say
We’re NOT Alone
Sometimes we feel alone in this busy world. As Christians, our values are different from the world's, so it's hard to blend in, and taking a stand for what's right according to God's laws can isolate us even more. But we are NOT alone! Jesus promised He'd never leave us, and our Father will always … Continue reading We’re NOT Alone
Arguing Bible Principles
The new Christian faith comprises many diverse interpretations of Scripture. However, there's only one way to be a Christian—follow Jesus, study the Scriptures, and let God's Spirit interpret His Truth. Sadly, many real Christians argue Bible principles with those deceived to get them to change, creating contention and pushing them further into deception. As God's … Continue reading Arguing Bible Principles
Light on the Path
It's a challenge at times to survive the chaos and unrest of this world. But as Christians, we don't need to stumble in the darkness and get hurt because God has given us His Light—Jesus! When we study the Bible to know God and His Word, we learn all He wants us to know about … Continue reading Light on the Path
A Choice to Study
When choosing a career, we must study to learn and gain wisdom so we can confidently excel in our profession. This also applies to being a Christian. We've made our choice; now we must study the Scriptures to be filled with knowledge and wisdom and do what God's called us to do. The more we … Continue reading A Choice to Study
Closer Than You Think
If you or someone you know is hurting, going through a bad time, or unhappy in life, call out to God! He is real, and He loves you. He sees what you're going through and wants to help. You don't have to suffer alone; give your problems to God and watch what He does with … Continue reading Closer Than You Think
