Knowing Your Savior
Jesus said that many people will call themselves "Christians" but few will know Him.

Churches across the globe have different doctrines because the people are NOT one congregation under … Continue reading Knowing Your Savior
Jesus, the Same Forever!
The people of this world want change, and they don't want God in charge anymore. But what they don't seem to realize is that this is God's world and that God is still God and He does not change. The world may declare that God's ways are outdated and that there is a new definition … Continue reading Jesus, the Same Forever!
The Onus is on Us
Before Christ came, believers had to walk in total obedience and offer sacrifices for the forgiveness of their sins.

Then He rose and became the door … Continue reading The Onus is on Us

Learning to Let Go
When we were children, there were times when we didn't understand what was going on and we just trusted our parents to keep us safe.

Jesus is our Salvation and our Hope, and when we have a personal relationship with Him, our faith for everything is in Him.

Jesus Fights for Us
We've reached that time in history when there is an obvious distinction between those who submit to the world and those whose trust is in God alone. We live in this world but we are not of this world because Jesus is OUR Lord and we belong to Him. As we study the Bible and … Continue reading Jesus Fights for Us
The Lord Goes Before Me
As Christians, we do not plow our own path and then expect Jesus to come by and make the way clear, but rather, we follow Jesus down the path that He has set for us!

Find the Still Waters
The world is moving faster every day toward judgment. It seems that we are constantly living in a state of chaos and unrest, and according to the Bible, it isn't going to get any better.

Refining the Heart
All of us have endured some tough tests in life, and many of us continue to live through them every day.

Checking our Attitude
Most of us have been in situations where people have been rude or cold or non-caring, and we've reacted negatively towards them because of their attitude.

Why Doesn’t God Answer?
Many people cry out to God for help but don't receive it and think that God is not in control or that He's ignoring them. But the truth is that unless we are born again, it's US who are ignoring Him. Jesus came down from Heaven to become a man and die on the cross … Continue reading Why Doesn’t God Answer?
Shine!
The purpose of light is to expose what's in the darkness. Just as natural light is made up of billions of particles called photons, so is our spiritual light made of all the components of God. The more we study the Scriptures, the more like Jesus we become so that what we say and do … Continue reading Shine!
Salvation is Personal
One of the most powerful messages that we learn from King David is that we must have a relationship with Jesus. We need to learn about God but we can't stop there; we need to make it personal.
