There's an old saying, "When you play with fire, you get burned." Many Christians are unaware that they're kindling dangerous fires by taking their salvation for granted, not reading their Bibles to know God and discerning right from wrong, and still keeping one foot in the world. The Bible has a saying, too, "You reap … Continue reading Kindling Fires
Amazing Love!
The God of Heaven is Almighty and Powerful, Creator and Judge of the whole world—yet, He loves each one of us personally! Most don't see that it's Satan who's leading this world into corruption and eventually into hell; instead, they say it's God who is heartless and unforgiving. But God is loving, merciful, and patient, … Continue reading Amazing Love!
When We’re in a Mess!
When we give our problems to God in prayer, we expect the answer to come in our way and timing. We forget that God's timing and ways will often differ from ours, because we only see what's in front of us; God sees ALL the circumstances. And sometimes, He'll allow us to go through some … Continue reading When We’re in a Mess!
Can We Trust God?
Not everyone can trust God! We can go to church and even read books to learn "about" God, but unless we commit our lives to Jesus and determine to follow Him, we are merely wannabe Christians. Once we accept Jesus as our Savior, we must study the Bible to know Him and spend time in … Continue reading Can We Trust God?
God Is Our Help!
It rains on the good and the bad. Jesus said that as Christians, we WILL have tribulations; partly because the devil is out to get us, but also because we live in this evil world and are susceptible to the same traumas as the world's people. The good news, though, is that we have Jesus … Continue reading God Is Our Help!
Control Tactic
The most powerful mind-controlling tactic in today's world is the news media. It used to report only facts, but has become an outspoken expression of biases, fueling addicted audiences, separating friends and family. As Christians, we must get away from the news media and focus on God and all He has done and is doing … Continue reading Control Tactic
Keep Praying!
Sometimes, it seems impossible to help some people or get them to see the goodness of God. As Christians, we pray for their salvation, or for the Lord to intervene in their situation, and when we don't see any change, we get frustrated. But we can't give up! God DOES hear AND answer our prayers. … Continue reading Keep Praying!
Renewing Our Strength
It's not easy to put faith into works when we don't know the one we're trusting. BUT when we accept Jesus as our Savior, and commit to studying the Bible to know Him, we develop a bond with Him.

The Struggle
Many work hard at trying to be Christians. They struggle between following diverse church rules and standards, and accepting the ever-changing laws of rights and morals.

I Think I Need This!
How often do we cry out to God and tell Him about our needs! Whether it's our groceries, finances, clothes, things for our home, or pleasure, we're sure we know what we need. But God sees the big picture, and if we believe that He IS our Lord, then we must learn to trust Him … Continue reading I Think I Need This!
Happy Canada Day!
As we celebrate Canada's independence today, we're reminded of how very different life is now from when we were growing up. Things are changing fast, and the future is almost scary.

We’re Not Getting Older…
There's an old saying, "We're not getting older; we're getting better." And that's so true when we know Jesus as our Savior. It's hard fitting into this corrupt world as we age; our bodies don't function as they used to, and many of us have to take medications that give the world an assumed authority … Continue reading We’re Not Getting Older…
What Can We Do?
This world desperately needs help as the darkness spreads and affects all of us.

We can pray … Continue reading What Can We Do?

How to Treat Others!
Christianity means following Christ. And following Christ means loving others as He loves us. It's not about judging, condemning, controlling, or manipulating others; it's about loving them as Jesus loves us, always showing mercy, grace, and friendship, and helping those in need. Romans 3:23 says we've all sinned and come short of God's glory, and … Continue reading How to Treat Others!
Don’t Waste the Day!
Many of us miss today's blessings, worrying about what tomorrow might bring—yet tomorrow isn't promised to any of us. It's good to be aware and prepare for things we know are coming up on our agenda, but we shouldn't waste the day worrying about things we can't change or control. As Christians, we should rise … Continue reading Don’t Waste the Day!
The Only Way to Go!
The world says that all paths lead to Heaven—but the Bible says there's only one way—Jesus. Sadly, the devil deceives many into believing that we can get there on our own merits, but Jesus said HE is the ONLY way. Good works won't get us there; money can't buy us entry, and going to church … Continue reading The Only Way to Go!
Staying Hopeful
Sometimes we lose hope when it seems that our prayers aren't being answered. But God hears us the second we come to Him, and He DOES answer us. However, it's often in His way and timing because He sees the big picture and works all things together for good to those who love Him (Romans … Continue reading Staying Hopeful
Give and Complain
For many, possessions are their only security in this world. They may sometimes share with the needy, but they complain about it. But when we know Jesus as our Savior, our focus changes to Him, the life He's given us, and what He's prepared for us in Heaven—and this world can't come close to what … Continue reading Give and Complain
In Times of Trouble
This world is corrupt, governed by a devil that wants to destroy us. And when we accept Jesus as our Savior, Satan continues to give us problems (John 16:33), but he no longer has power over us because we belong to Jesus! So, we don't go to the world for advice and counsel because they … Continue reading In Times of Trouble
