We all know people whose goal in life is to break us. They mock us, gossip about us, and go out of their way to anger us. We begin to hate them until we see things through God's eyes and remember that before we knew Jesus, we did these things to God, and He didn't … Continue reading Hate is Not an Option

You Can’t Buy Faith
To all Christians who think they can buy God's blessings, have faith dumped on them, or instantly gain wisdom and riches, you can't! You can't buy, earn, or assume His blessings because they are given by God to those who love and follow Him and put their faith and trust in Him. And you can … Continue reading You Can’t Buy Faith
A Prayer Away
Fear is like a cloud that casts a shadow, causing anxiety and stress for the unknown. Whether personal issues or the world's chaos, it can slowly chop away at the joy we should have in life. The good news? Jesus! He is God and has overcome the world! Nothing is impossible to Him, and no … Continue reading A Prayer Away
Being Grateful
Finding a positive direction is difficult when we focus only on the negative around us. As Christians, we have more to thank God for than we'll ever know until we reach Heaven because now, we only see with our visible eyes. It's then that we'll fully grasp how brutal and barbaric Jesus' torture was when … Continue reading Being Grateful
Doing the Impossible
Some situations are impossible for us to fix or change. When loved ones are caught up in the evils of this world, they are destroyed, and there's nothing we can do about it. But God! Nothing is impossible to God, and when we pray fervently according to His will, He hears and answers us. God … Continue reading Doing the Impossible
Overcoming Hardships
We all suffer hardships in this corrupt world. Yet, as Christians, we CAN rejoice in the midst of them because Jesus watches over us and helps us. God told us to pray about everything and trust Him to get us through our problems, and though we may suffer a little, we know that all things … Continue reading Overcoming Hardships
How to Succeed
Many people succeed in this world because they are knowledgeable and wise. As Christians, many of us are destroyed because of a lack of wisdom, giving way for the world to win over us (Hosea 4:6). But as God's children, He wants us to be filled with knowledge and wisdom, so we must study the … Continue reading How to Succeed
A Great Morning Booster
This evil world closes in on us the second we wake up. Coffee is a great booster for the body, but as Christians, we must feed our souls first! So, we thank God for the day, ask for His blessings on everything we say, do, and think, and then submit to His will and leadership. … Continue reading A Great Morning Booster
What is Your Heart’s Desire?
What is your heart's desire—your career, material possessions, social status? As Christians, it's knowing God and doing His will. He may still give us all these things, but our focus is getting His salvation message out to the lost. We love the Lord and praise Him for being our Savior, and He hears and answers … Continue reading What is Your Heart’s Desire?
Prepare for Battle
Many fight daily with health issues, finances, identity, or personal relationships. We think that as Christians we shouldn't have these problems, but Jesus said in John 16:33 that we WOULD have problems, and we're told in Ephesians 6:10-17 to put on the whole armor of God to fight them. Our armor is the Word of … Continue reading Prepare for Battle
How to Survive
We used to be strong-minded people, forging life paths for future generations. But in this changing world, we've become defensive, fighting to survive and keep our rights. Yet, as Christians, we can live quality lives because God never changes His love, plans, purpose, or future for us; He hears and answers our prayers despite the … Continue reading How to Survive
How to Bake a Cake
If we don't know how to bake a cake, we'd find a good recipe, study it, and follow its instructions. In the same way, if we don't know how to be a Christian, we must go to the book that teaches us—the Bible—so we can know God and submit to His instructions. As we continue … Continue reading How to Bake a Cake
Two Paths
Two paths lead to God when we leave this world—but only ONE gets us into Heaven. We will all stand before Christ, either as believers whose sins are washed away through the salvation of Jesus or as sinners to face eternal judgment. God loves us—John 3:16—and doesn't want anyone to perish, but Heaven is pure … Continue reading Two Paths
Doing What We’re Called to Do
Christians are Christ's disciples, called to share His Gospel with the lost so they can be freed from this world. We must refrain from debating moot points with the brethren or arguing what sin is with the world. We're not called to criticize or accuse; we're called to be like Jesus, to walk, talk, and … Continue reading Doing What We’re Called to Do
The World Doesn’t Know
People of the world don't understand why Christians go to church and sing to the Lord. Nor do they accept our principles and values or our need to pray. But as Christians, we know that Jesus is the Savior, the Son of God, who paid the punishment for our sins with His own blood and … Continue reading The World Doesn’t Know
Power to The Faint
The world is becoming a place of hopelessness. But as Christians, we rejoice because this is not our world—we belong to God; our citizenship is in Heaven. When problems come, we pray about them and then fight them with the Sword of the Spirit—the Bible! So, we need to study it fervently because when we're … Continue reading Power to The Faint
Shielded by Faith
The world sees the Bible merely as an old book; Christians know it is the voice of God! We read in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that men were inspired by God to write the Bible, and in John 14:26, that God's Holy Spirit teaches us His Truth. The world's people will never understand the Bible (1 … Continue reading Shielded by Faith
Child-like Faith
Young children have unshakeable faith in their parents because they love and trust them. They don't question how or why things will happen; they believe they will. This is the kind of faith we need to have in God! When God says He loves us, He means it. When He says He'll supply our needs, … Continue reading Child-like Faith
Praise Instead of Pout
We live in a corrupt world, and occasionally, bad things happen. Many believe that Christian life should be perfect, but that's not what Jesus said. He said we WOULD have tribulations simply because we live here—but He also promised to stay with us and help us through them. So, if we're having a challenging day, … Continue reading Praise Instead of Pout
Fear Controls
The world uses "fear" to control us, but we do NOT have to surrender to its evil tactics. When we become Christians, God removes the world's spirit that was in us and fills us with His Holy Spirit. We no longer belong to the world—we belong to God, and His love casts out all fear. … Continue reading Fear Controls
What Lasts Forever?
We're raised to believe that "all good things come to an end" and "nothing lasts forever." In this ever-changing world, this has become our way of life. But God is eternal—His actions DO last forever! When we receive Jesus as our Savior and ask Him to forgive us, He becomes our eternal Lord and forgives … Continue reading What Lasts Forever?
Light in the Darkness
How do we avoid stumbling on a dark path? We turn on a lantern to show us the way. Darkness would still be around us, but we'd see the path ahead and keep going forward. This is what the Word of God does for us. It doesn't remove the dark evil around us but clearly … Continue reading Light in the Darkness
Shout With Joy
God is love but can only show His love to those who want it. As Christians, we know He blesses us, and we're thankful, but if we could look into the spirit world, we'd see that God has done and IS doing far more than we could ever imagine. He watches over us and protects … Continue reading Shout With Joy
Be at Peace and Shine
Have you ever noticed that you can face difficult situations more easily when you're not stressed or anxious? It's easy to get caught up with all that's happening in this corrupt world, which can affect us physically, mentally, and emotionally. But when we know Jesus and put our trust in Him, He fills us with … Continue reading Be at Peace and Shine
No One knows us Like God
No one knows us like God; we don't even know ourselves as He does. As Christians, we're in awe when we look back to all the times God answered our prayers and showed His love and mercy to us. He answered prayers that were insignificant to anyone else but meant everything to us. It warms … Continue reading No One knows us Like God
