There Are Times…
There are times when we don't want to ask God for anything; we just want to thank Him for His love and kindness towards us. We may be surrounded by turmoil and pressed down with problems, but we remember what Jesus has done for us, what we have because of His sacrifice, and what He … Continue reading There Are Times…
How to Stand in Faith
Sometimes, we get discouraged when God doesn't answer our prayers right away, and we begin to speak words of doubt.

As Christians, we need to study the Bible to know God and build our faith in … Continue reading How to Stand in Faith

A Reason to Sing
When problems weigh us down, we're often blinded to what's going on around us, and we don't see the goodness of God anywhere. Jesus said that we'd have problems in this world and that we must give them to Him and receive His peace. When we commit them to God, the devil flees, and our … Continue reading A Reason to Sing
Why It’s a Struggle to Pray
"I know I should pray, but I never know what to say, so I keep putting it off.” If this is your issue, then it’s likely because you don’t know the One to whom you’re praying. If you were put in a room for ten minutes with a close friend, you’d have a lot in … Continue reading Why It’s a Struggle to Pray
Meekness is not Weakness
Moses was the most humble man recorded in the Bible.

He was then considered weak and foolish until the Egyptians, AND the Hebrews saw the power … Continue reading Meekness is not Weakness
You Are Not Alone
Peace is being taken away as we're hit with one thing after another in this chaotic world. As Christians, we have to focus on God more than on the things that are going on around us.

Don’t Be Afraid—Be Strong!
Billy Graham was noted as saying, "If God brings us to it, He'll bring us through it." When we go about our day, and an opportunity opens to help or encourage someone or tell them about Jesus, it's likely an opportunity arranged by God. We should see it as good in our sight (Psalm 118:23) … Continue reading Don’t Be Afraid—Be Strong!
Our Greatest Treasure
Sometimes, we need to examine our hearts to know how much we love Jesus.

When our instinct is to love others as Jesus loves … Continue reading Our Greatest Treasure
Wait and Renew
We all have times when we are weakened by the overwhelming challenges of this world. This is why Jesus told us to cast all of our burdens unto Him instead of us going crazy trying to do it on our own and getting so weak that we feel as if we can't go on. Let's … Continue reading Wait and Renew
Faith Can Move Mountains
When our faith is in our own abilities, we can't hope for anything beyond our own strength, but when our faith is in God, we can hope for anything because God is Almighty!

Live for Today
Many of us look beyond today and focus on a day up ahead. We miss the reality that TODAY is the ONLY day we have because there is NO promise for a tomorrow—not in this world, anyway. God created today for us, and regardless of the weather outside or what's brewing around us or what … Continue reading Live for Today
How to Overcome!
Many of us will face seemingly impossible challenges today because we don't have the wisdom or strength to fight against the powers of this chaotic and unpredictable world.

Religious Enemies
There are times, as Christians, when we get angry with one of our brothers or sisters.

We are saved but not perfect, so let's accept that fact and replace anger with mercy and … Continue reading Religious Enemies
Waiting With Confidence
There have never been as many so-called Christians in the world as today. However, few know Jesus and assume that God has changed, so they've modified His Word to suit their desires. But God has not changed! Jesus is still the ONLY Savior and He's getting ready to call all believers out of here because … Continue reading Waiting With Confidence
Be the Light!
It's challenging to tell people about Jesus in this sinful world anymore because they either don't want to hear it or are content with their religion. So it's crucial that our lives reflect the love and mercies of God and that our words encourage yet warn of His judgments to come. Our testimony is a … Continue reading Be the Light!
It’s Who We Know
We've all heard the expression, "It's not what you know; it's who you know," and this is so true for Christians. We hear daily reports of world situations that discourage many people and fill them with anxiety and fear. But when we know Jesus and fill up on His Word daily, we rest in His … Continue reading It’s Who We Know
It’s Who We Are!
Some people think that becoming Christian means giving up the good things in life and submitting to religious rules. However, this isn't Christianity; it's religion.

The Joy of Singing
When we become Christians, Jesus forgives us for all of our sins and becomes our Savior and our Lord.
