The devil runs this world, and lies and deception are his greatest tools. He is so cunning that he can trick a Christian easily through the lust of the flesh if the person doesn’t study the Scriptures to know God’s will, and doesn’t walk in the love and the knowledge and the wisdom God. Lies and deception corrupt those who participate in them and destroy the lives of family and friends who learn of them. Continue reading
Most of us have heard the story of Daniel and how he was thrown into the lion’s den because he refused to honor King Darius’ decree. This law said that no one could bow down to any other god except for him for thirty days. Daniel, of course, was devoted to God because he knew Him, and he was not afraid of what the king would do if he disobeyed this ruling. Continue reading
We live in a world that has drifted so far from God most people have no real idea who God is! Laws and attitudes have been changed to appease this “modern” life and God is mocked and ridiculed and blasphemed—and all without fear. And it’s not only the people of the world who mock God; many so-called believers are also guilty. But one day they will all be drenched in fear because God is very real and He will not be mocked! Continue reading
We are all fighting battles in life and we all run into those people once in a while who are determined to make our life miserable and do us harm. Without realizing it, we allow them to steal our joy because the anger or hatred within us grows to the point that we see them as the enemy. Continue reading
Too often Christians get caught up with being negative and criticizing others. Whether it’s a group within a congregation or a rant on public media, speaking negative about others only builds up the self-righteousness of the participants. Continue reading
We’ve all heard the expression, “Do what you can do and let God do the rest.” Some think that as mature people they should try to deal with their issues and then when all else fails, go to God for help. They think God is pleased with them for trying to solve it themselves. But… Continue reading
Many Christians don’t grasp humility or servitude. They quote some Scriptures and when they don’t get what they want, they begin to question God—as if He is the one who is at fault. Continue reading
Years ago, people referred to missionaries as those elect few who gave up everything they owned in this civilized world to go and work with the underprivileged in the uncivilized world. The cost was high; many of them died shortly after arriving. It may be shocking to learn, though Continue reading
It had been a very long 120 years for Noah and his family as they spent every waking minute building the massive ark according to God’s instructions. There had been no sign of flood rains that warranted a boat to escape on and the people laughed him to scorn. But Continue reading
The Bible tells us in Psalms 111:10 and in Proverbs 9:10 that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”. Many people who do not understand Scripture—and this includes non-Christians AND Christians—think that we must be afraid of God and do what He says or die! Others are afraid of people and live in fear of what they could do to them. Continue reading
Some of the props we have learned to depend on in life are signs. These are signals that prepare us for something ahead and we use them for every facet of life including sports, business and economic change, social influence and of course, the weather. But we don’t read the signs that are most crucial to us. Continue reading
The more we study the Scriptures and spend time in prayer and worship with the Lord, the more we realize who we are. We want to know the truth, and we don’t seek God’s hand for blessings, but rather, we seek His face to know Him. As we give ourselves to God, we begin to realize that our life is not our own; we belong to Him. Continue reading
The true gospel of Christ is being buried beneath more deception and garbage every day. The new age doctrines say that salvation is for everyone, that it’s not personal; we’re all saved and headed for Heaven and no one is guilty of sin because Jesus’ death on the cross showed us that love rules—and that we’re saved if we just love each other. Well, I’ve read the Bible and that lie just isn’t in there. Continue reading
Many people feel that they don’t need God intervening in their lives because they have it all under control. They are educated, have an amazing career and a great social life, and they credit their “success” to their own initiatives and labor. However, their success should really be labelled: the Success of a Loser. Continue reading
We all know the Scripture in Psalm 37:4 that says, “Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” Many so-called Christian doctrines have stemmed from this Scripture with the interpretation that God wants us to have all the “material possessions” that make us happy. And the truth is, Continue reading
The new age “Christianity” says that God is all about love, that He doesn’t hate anyone or anything and that when Jesus died on the cross we were all saved at that time. This is a lie! The Bible clearly states that we need to repent to receive salvation AND that there are seven things God hates. But we need to read the Bible to find out what they are. Continue reading
