The growing chaos in this world is affecting all of us, and stress levels are rising. But as God's children, we have a Heavenly Father who watches over us and will protect us when we trust Him. King David tells us to take refuge in God, and Apostle Paul says in Philippians 4:6-7 not to … Continue reading The Answer to Chaos

Loving One Another
Christianity is made up of people from all walks of life. We may be different in many ways, but we share one common truth—Jesus died for each one of us, redeemed us back to our Heavenly Father, and filled us with His Spirit. We are all equal in God's eyes and brothers and sisters in … Continue reading Loving One Another
He Delights in Our Prayers
Many people only pray when they want or need something from God. They don't know Jesus but feel that if God is who He says He is, He'll hear their prayers and give them what they ask for. God does hear everyone's prayers, but He only answers the prayers of the righteous. This is because … Continue reading He Delights in Our Prayers
Don’t Be Discouraged!
Many people are discouraged and bound in fear because the world is in a mess. Governments are in chaos, a world war is brewing in the Middle East, a pandemic is restricting our freedoms, poverty is rising, and threatening natural disasters are increasing. Yet, for us who know Jesus as our Savior, we are at … Continue reading Don’t Be Discouraged!
Not Negotiable
It's frustrating when we try to encourage new or unlearned Christians who are set to follow their chosen doctrine and not willing to hear the truth. They interpret Scripture their way and insist on arguing to defend their view. But as mature Christians, God wants us to be at peace with each other and not … Continue reading Not Negotiable
It Just Flows
Being a Christian is more than saying the sinner's prayer and attending church on Sundays. It's knowing that Jesus is the Son of God who left His throne in Heaven to come to earth for one reason, and that was to become a man and die a torturous death on the cross to save you … Continue reading It Just Flows
No Place to Hide
The world is exploding with sin and corruption, and it's getting worse every day. There's no place on earth where we can hide from it, and that's scary. But as Christians, let's remember that we live IN this world right now, but we belong to God, and Jesus IS watching over us. Let's not view … Continue reading No Place to Hide
How to Overcome Temptations
The evidence of being a Christian is our obedience to God and hate for sin. Many new Christians think they have to resist the devil and his temptations on their own merits, but they don't have the strength or the wisdom to defeat evil. The ONLY way to obey God is to study the Scriptures … Continue reading How to Overcome Temptations
God’s Thoughts
God's thoughts towards people have always been of love and peace, and so He created the Garden of Eden to be a paradise for Adam and Eve. But people's thoughts toward God have always been sinful and rebellious, so God, being Holy, separated Himself from us. God's plan has always been for us to live … Continue reading God’s Thoughts
The Gift
Deception says that anyone who acknowledges God is in His grace. But just knowing the truth is NOT the same as believing it and following it (even the demons know the truth). Jesus offered His gift of salvation to everyone, but each of us needs to accept it personally, repent of our sins and follow … Continue reading The Gift
First Impressions!
We've all heard it, "First impressions are everything," yet they're really not. Many people are hurting but hiding it, so we think things are well with them. Others can't hide their pain or frustration, so we judge them because we see them through the world's eyes. But we need to see all people through God's … Continue reading First Impressions!
Keep the Oil in My Lamp
If you were lost at night in a forest without a light, you wouldn't see the path because of the darkness. Likewise, even as Christians, we'll continue to stumble in the darkness unless we keep our lamps filled with oil! The Bible IS that oil! It fills our lamps and allows the Light to shine … Continue reading Keep the Oil in My Lamp
How to Relieve Stress
We all face stress every day, but God has given us a stress-reliever that can't be beat! He's told us that when the enemy of this world closes in with problems, we should give the problems to God and then sing praises to the Lord and seek His peace. Worship music brings the presence of … Continue reading How to Relieve Stress
Thank God for What?
The Bible tells us to thank God in all circumstances—not FOR them but IN them, and we can do this when we know that Jesus is our Lord and Savior. We pray about our circumstances, give thanks to Him for His salvation, and then rejoice because we know that He's GREATER than our problems. As … Continue reading Thank God for What?
Peace Through the Problems
We live in a corrupt and evil world, and many of us suffer from issues that wear us out. But it doesn't need to be this way. We can give our problems to the One who can deal with them and rise each morning totally refreshed, filled with His peace, and strengthened by the joy … Continue reading Peace Through the Problems
Red and White
There's no peace or stability anymore because the world has removed God to allow sin to flourish. When we were part of this world, we felt fear and stress and were doomed for judgment. But when we accepted Jesus as our Savior, He cleansed us from our sin and set us on the path of … Continue reading Red and White
Shout it Out
As Christians, our heart's greatest desire is to praise our Lord and tell others of His love and grace! Our words, actions, attitudes, and how we present ourselves testify to who we are, and God is glorified through us. So let's not hide it for fear of what some people may think; let's be who … Continue reading Shout it Out
Time to Rest
Although the world around us is frothing in chaos and confusion, Christians should not be afraid because we belong to God, and He is still in control! We have to keep our minds and hearts filled with Scripture, meditate daily on the truth, and spend time in prayer and worship so we can draw close … Continue reading Time to Rest
There Are Times…
There are times when we don't want to ask God for anything; we just want to thank Him for His love and kindness towards us. We may be surrounded by turmoil and pressed down with problems, but we remember what Jesus has done for us, what we have because of His sacrifice, and what He … Continue reading There Are Times…
How to Stand in Faith
Sometimes, we get discouraged when God doesn't answer our prayers right away, and we begin to speak words of doubt. This tells the worldly people around us that we don't really believe in God any more than they do. As Christians, we need to study the Bible to know God and build our faith in … Continue reading How to Stand in Faith
