Giving Thanks
Today is Thanksgiving Day to many of us, and it's a day that's designated to celebrate all the things we're thankful for in our lives.

When is it Wrong to Give?
Christians and non-Christians like to give some kind of donation to the needy, especially around the Christmas holidays. It's a built-in mechanism we have that's inspired by the commercialization of goodwill, and intended for the benefit of those in need. But there are many Christians who don't give the way they should, and so we … Continue reading When is it Wrong to Give?
Who is the Real Jesus?
The world is becoming overwhelmed with people preaching the gospel and proclaiming Jesus as their Lord.

When Love Hurts Us
Sometimes in life someone we really love and trust will do something so offensive or hurtful to us that it feels as if a brick had been smacked into our head.

Gifts From the Heart
When we first get married, we have a basic idea of how we want to decorate our home.

Finding God in the Little Things
It's very easy to get caught up in thinking that we're just a tiny creation in the magnificent spectrum of God's plan and that He's really only interested in the big picture. But while God holds the balance of all things in His hands as he puts all the pieces together, He's also very interested … Continue reading Finding God in the Little Things
Free Love
There is only one thing in this world that is free and that is given without strings attached. Air is not free because of the pollution it carries that destroys the body; water is not free because it contains impurities, bacteria, chemicals, toxins - all that destroy the body. The only thing that we have that is … Continue reading Free Love

Love is a Passion Fruit
The Bible says in Galatians 5:22 that love is one of the fruits of the Spirit, and in fact, it's listed as the first fruit, which indicates that it's a priority.

What is love?
The Bible is all about love and it tells us that God is the epitome of love. John 3:16 says that He gave His own Son as a sacrifice for us, and although this shows what the essence of love is, it gets lost in the modern world. Even in the Christian realm love has … Continue reading What is love?
Love Your Enemies
Most Christians are familiar with Matthew 5:44 where we're told to love our enemies, but too often we become confused with the connotation of loving a bad person when we're dealing with the world.

Love and Forgiveness
Many Christians think that we only need to forgive the people we love and that it's not necessary to forgive the ones who have offended us that are just acquaintances or people we really don't like anyway.

Love or Adultery
One of the greatest tools that the devil is using today to destroy people is deceit, and he is confusing the emotions so that we don't recognize the difference between love and adultery.

Love Sinners?
As Christians we often believe that we should love each other, help and support each other, tolerate each other's differences and spend all our time with only Christians. We become a clique unto ourselves - aka denominations - and have no tolerance for anyone outside of our own circle of friends. We forget where we came from and … Continue reading Love Sinners?
