We pray because we’re Christians and that's what we’re supposed to do. We take our issues to God and hope that He will give us the wisdom or open some door so we can get the victory over our issues. So why do some prayers get answered and not others? It could be the difference in … Continue reading Wimp or Warrior?

Love is Not Silent
Many Christians do not share the gospel of Jesus with others because they either, feel “shy” and just don’t have the words to say, or they don’t want to judge others by telling them that they have sin in their life. But we’re not judging anyone when we try to share the gospel with them, … Continue reading Love is Not Silent
Warning: Not All Bible Teachers Know God!
There are so-called Christians among us who feel that they deserve our uttermost respect because they have diligently studied the scriptures and their knowledge makes them superior to the rest of us. The irony, of course, is that anyone can study the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and become fully educated in its logic. But … Continue reading Warning: Not All Bible Teachers Know God!
Come Out of the Closet
Most of us are familiar with the expression, “coming out of the closet”. We relate it to people who once felt ashamed of their “sinful” homosexual behavior”, but who have come public since society no longer views it as sin. But this closet also hides many Christians who appear to be ashamed to speak up … Continue reading Come Out of the Closet
Put on Your Dancing Shoes
It’s wonderful when we know the Lord and can enjoy life! The internet has made it possible to spend less time doing those tedious things such as banking, shopping and travelling to work, and given us more time to do what we like to do. Unfortunately, too many Christians have adopted a lazy attitude about God, … Continue reading Put on Your Dancing Shoes
The Mirror of Deceit
In today’s world we have a false “Christianity” spreading in epic proportions across the globe. Through both mega churches and smaller ministries there is a gospel of wealth and ease being taught as opposed to the gospel of Jesus. The consenting message is that the Christian life is easy and comes with abundant prosperity and … Continue reading The Mirror of Deceit
Cherry Pickers Will Choke on the Pits!
Many “Christians” have drifted so far from God that they “cherry pick” through the scriptures and accept only the ones they like and ignore the rest. In their eyes this is okay because, after all, they still believe some of it so that keeps them in a safety zone, right? Wrong! The Bible is all or … Continue reading Cherry Pickers Will Choke on the Pits!
Truth or Comfort Zone
Much of “Christianity” today has digressed from a commitment to follow Christ to an “everything goes” attitude that gives false spiritual security. It’s a “new age religion” that says we can do our own thing and know that God loves and accepts each one of us just as we are now. It’s no wonder that this deception … Continue reading Truth or Comfort Zone
Endorsing Sin Brings Judgment
We read in the Old Testament that after Moses led the people out of Egypt, they began to engage in terrible acts of sin including idolatry, immorality, and murder. So, God gave Moses some laws known as the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) to be used as a benchmark to govern the people so they would … Continue reading Endorsing Sin Brings Judgment
The Tragedy of the Missing Parachute
So often in life people take things for granted. Some assume that their way is the right way and they aren't willing to change and yet expect good results. Others know that they should act on certain issues now but they either, render a callous attitude and put it off until later, or do nothing … Continue reading The Tragedy of the Missing Parachute
Worthless Collectibles
One of the things that many of us in the civilized world pride ourselves in is our collection of worldly goods. Some of us have the funds to back our expensive material collections while others of us struggle to acquire even a few over a lifetime. But the fact is, most of us can look … Continue reading Worthless Collectibles
Old Testament Laws are not for Today
The Book of Law that God gave to Moses was God’s law for all mankind; a standard of living that ruled over the people so they could know the difference between right and wrong. But it’s being greatly challenged today. Much of the so-called “church” is modifying God’s laws to meet with their own modern-day … Continue reading Old Testament Laws are not for Today
How Will They Hear if we Don’t Tell Them?
This world is moving speedily toward its end and there is a lot going on around us that confirms things are changing—just as Jesus said they would in the last days. We are surrounded in escalating crime, horrendous acts of anti-Semitism, growing starvation and poverty, and uncontrollable immorality that is sponsored and promoted in every … Continue reading How Will They Hear if we Don’t Tell Them?
Spreading Rumors
Most of us enjoy talking and sharing with our family and friends, and it’s even normal for us to pour our heart out in anguish about a situation or person that has hurt and challenged us. We’re told in James 5:16 to share with each other so that we can pray for each other, and … Continue reading Spreading Rumors
Words Are Not Enough
It seems as if the world is becoming saturated with people proclaiming to be Christians. The sad news, though, is that not everyone who calls him or herself a Christian is one, and even many who are don’t show it. Being a Christian is more than speaking words; it’s putting words to action because words … Continue reading Words Are Not Enough
A Mother’s Day to Remember
Sowing Discord
Much of today’s Christian community has deviated from its origin and now consists of many man-made doctrines and ideals that have caused division in the church of Christ. One of the greatest deceptions to circulate the globe is the concept that we are all one in Christ regardless of how much of the Bible we … Continue reading Sowing Discord
Batteries Not Included
It is truly wonderful when someone accepts the Lord as their Savior and gives up their old way of life to follow Jesus. The Bible says in Luke 15:10 that the angels rejoice in Heaven over every new believer, so this is really a special event. Why then, do many new believers fall back into the … Continue reading Batteries Not Included
Who Are You……Really?
It’s amazing how much we learn when we study the Bible and how some of the messages jump right out at us when we read with a hungry heart. The scriptures are God’s own inspired words that He’s given to us so we can learn about Him and become better disciples. As we study, our … Continue reading Who Are You……Really?
Walking a Thin Line
The earth is being filled with “Christians” as the day of Christ’s return draws near. Some of these people are genuine, born-again believers, but most of them don’t even know God. They are captivated by a doctrine that speaks of universal love and heavenly blessings. The gospel they learn from says they were … Continue reading Walking a Thin Line
