Not in the “Mood” for Christmas
Christmas season is the one time of year when most people are either totally engaged with the festive occasion or are refusing to have anything to do with it. While many of the reasons may vary, a common one for denying celebration is because some of us just aren’t in the mood for Christmas. Many Christians … Continue reading Not in the “Mood” for Christmas
Children, You’re Hurting Our Heavenly Father!
Too many Christians spend their free time criticizing other Christians. It seems that a lot of focus today is put on knocking down the brethren and pointing out how they are still lost in sin. Sometimes I think that our Heavenly Father looks down at us and just wants to shout, “Children, stop fighting!” Oh, how all … Continue reading Children, You’re Hurting Our Heavenly Father!
Christmas: is all about gifts

How to be God’s Influence in this World
Almost all Christians will say that they are Christians because they believe in the gospel of Jesus and acknowledge that He is the Son of God and their Savior. Romans 10:9 tells us that we need to confess this truth, but we're also told that faith without works is dead. We need to do more than … Continue reading How to be God’s Influence in this World
Abusing God’s Love for Personal Gain
Nothing excites the heart more than love. Nothing quiets a restless spirit more than love. And nothing gives us the confidence to endure trials and temptations more than love. Life is all about love and, in fact, the entire theme of the Bible is love - God’s love for us. Yet, many people miss God because … Continue reading Abusing God’s Love for Personal Gain

One Last Hope!
"Today is Billy Graham’s 96th birthday! We know him as the renowned figure who we’ve watched on television for over 50 years as he preached a powerful gospel message around the globe.

Christians Are Not Perfect: We are Forgiven!
As we travel forward in our Christian walk we realize that not everyone along the way is in the same place as we are in our personal relationship with God. Some will be brand new Christians and others will have a mature walk with God.

Being Blessed is Everything!
Too often Christians act or react badly in certain situations and display the same contempt toward others as many non-Christians. This is because they don’t know the scriptures and have no direct knowledge about how to deal with many of the situations they face. Yet, Jesus was very specific in His teaching and we can get … Continue reading Being Blessed is Everything!
Why God Doesn’t Answer Prayers
It’s amazing how many people - including those who proclaim to be Christians - will totally ignore the Lord and not give Him praise and thanks for anything, but then when they want something or need help they decide to pray and actually expect Him to bless them.

God is Not Deaf
As Christians, we take our concerns to God in prayer and many of us make it a daily routine as we bring the same situation to God day after day. Our first prayer begins with humility and reverence, but by the millionth prayer for the same issue we wonder if God is even listening to … Continue reading God is Not Deaf
Pride Comes Before a Fall
Many Christians have the attitude that they can work out their problems and they think that it’s a bother to even pray about them. Yet, God is always there so we should never get so caught up with the ways of this world and our own self-image that we forget to take Jesus with us. … Continue reading Pride Comes Before a Fall

It seems that life now-a-days has more ups and downs and constant challenges than ever before. The law has changed dramatically and now it allow things that years ago would have been forbidden such as the legalization of abortion and the acceptance of a homosexual lifestyle.

Christians, Wake Up!
Many so-called Christian churches today are filled with myths and deception and literally force the people away from God and into a false religion that mocks the God of Heaven. And although many people feel that they are sanctified because they attend church, the truth is that attending church doesn’t make you a Christian anymore than … Continue reading Christians, Wake Up!
A Humbling Experience
I recently read a book called, The Hiding Place, and it’s the true story of Corrie ten Boom, a woman who not only survived the brutal concentration camps of WW2, but who saved the lives of countless persecuted Christians and was a light to many other women in the camps. I was totally captivated by … Continue reading A Humbling Experience
What God Sees in Us
No one is born with a silver spoon in their mouth and few of us are raised in a wealthy home amid servants and personal care takers. Most of us work hard to reach our goals and become successful whether it’s toward a prominent career or at a laborer’s job. We’re all proud of our accomplishments … Continue reading What God Sees in Us
When All Else Fails, Trust God
As intelligent and civilized people, we all feel at one time or another that we can handle most of the situations that come against us.

And it’s often at that point … Continue reading When All Else Fails, Trust God
Don’t be Deceived!
Many of today’s Christians have a very worldly point of view regarding certain kinds of sin. It’s a view that is deceiving thousands of people every day because the truth is, it doesn’t matter what we think or what we deem should be acceptable in the eyes of the Lord; it’s about what God has … Continue reading Don’t be Deceived!
How Attitude Gives Away Secrets We Didn’t Know We Had
There are times in life when we deliberately fake our feelings and we are able to control our facial expressions and our words because we don’t want our true feelings to be known.
