What is the Reward of my Faith?
The subject of faith is a very controversial one in the religious realm and few truly understand what faith is, why we need it and how our lives are blessed because of it.

Christianity is not about ME!
The best decision anyone will make in their lifetime is to receive the salvation of Christ.

Christianity is … Continue reading Christianity is not about ME!
Who are the Children of God?
There's an attitude spreading across the globe today that wants us to put our differences aside and live as one big multi-cultural family under God.

We ARE all related biologically, but, we are … Continue reading Who are the Children of God?

The Cost of Telling the Truth
Recently, a family friend, who's always claimed to be a Christian, asked me why some of his family didn't accept his "male" spouse as part of the family. It was a moment of deliberation for me. Do I tell him that he's actually sinning against God by engaging in this lifestyle? Or do I candy coat the … Continue reading The Cost of Telling the Truth

There has never been such a need for Christians to pray as there is today! Our lives are literally hanging on a thread and if that thread snaps, then the plunge we take will be deadly.

Lasting Impressions
As Christians, most of us want to leave a lasting impression on others through our testimony. And most people—especially zealous and ambitious newbies—tend to use words to demonstrate their religious fervor.

Misguided Treasures
Many Christians look for the confirmation of God's love in the big things in life; things such as cars, financial freedom, material blessings, a great job and even social status. But we will never see God when we have to look through "things" to find Him. Sometimes our priorities get twisted and we actually believe … Continue reading Misguided Treasures
Who is Jesus Anyway?
There have been many books written on the life of Jesus. Some come at us from a theologian point-of-view and are detailed in words we can't pronounce, causing us to get lost on the first page.
