Joy and Strength
Small children depend on their parents and rest in their love and protection. They don't focus on the negative and aren't afraid of the obvious. They have joy in their hearts and look for the good things in life. As Christians living in a chaotic world, we need this same attitude. Jesus loves us and … Continue reading Joy and Strength
Learning to Trust
We are often reminded to trust the Lord and not let our own understanding of a situation bring us to despair. But it's hard to do when we think we know what we want and need. We need to learn to trust Him and give Him praise and thanks because His answer is the only … Continue reading Learning to Trust
The Calm and Peace of White
We have been given another day to live in this world despite what's happening around us. For some of us, today has come with calm and graceful flakes of white snow, and it reminds us of the pureness of Jesus and how much He loves us. We see how the white comes down and covers … Continue reading The Calm and Peace of White
Happy New Year!
Today is the beginning of a new year! As Christians, God will not only bless us, but He'll help us be a blessing and share His love and grace with those who don't know Jesus. Our New Year's resolution is to commit each new day to the Lord, rejoice and give Him thanks for our … Continue reading Happy New Year!
Don’t Look Back
As we close out this year, many of us will reflect on memories of despair, hurt, sorrow, and anger from issues this past year has caused. But we have to remember that this world no longer follows God and is bringing about its own doom—and we are NOT part of this world. We are God's … Continue reading Don’t Look Back
His Testimony
It's tough being a productive Christian at times because the people of this world want the freedom of living life their way and refuse to hear the truth. This world is spiraling into the hour of God's judgment—and it's almost here! This is why it's so crucial that we seek God and be His testimony … Continue reading His Testimony
The Path That Leads us Home
Many "Christians" believe that God is only about love and blesses whatever they do in life as long as they're happy. And sadly, because they believe this lie instead of the truth, they'll face Jesus as Judge one day. To be a Christian means that when we accept Christ Jesus as our Savior, we turn … Continue reading The Path That Leads us Home
Honey or Vinegar
Our job as Christians isn't to bring on world peace; it's to shine as lights of hope in the darkness so others can see the love and peace of God in us. But we can't do that if we're easily provoked into heated arguments over Scripture or self-driven to tell someone about Jesus who doesn't … Continue reading Honey or Vinegar
What Can I Do?
As we look back on this year, many of us are burdened by the guilt of not doing what we'd promised to do. And as we look ahead to the new year, we're encouraged to make new resolutions and stand in the promises we'll make to ourselves. But as God's children, our focus should be … Continue reading What Can I Do?
It’s Not Business as Usual
When the angel told the shepherds that their Savior had been born, they rejoiced and then went to the barn and saw Jesus lying in the manger. They worshiped the baby because they knew that He was God's Son, their Messiah, who would save them from their sins and rule over them as King. And … Continue reading It’s Not Business as Usual

Do You Know?
Do you know the good news that the angel gave to the shepherds that starry night so many years ago? He told them that God's promise to save them from their sins was about to be fulfilled, that Mary was going to give birth to God's Son, the promised Savior! The shepherds rejoiced because they … Continue reading Do You Know?
Joy to the World!
The world should rejoice over the birth of Jesus, the Son of God who left His throne in Heaven to come to earth and die for their sins. But it's blinded by deception and can't see that Jesus made way for peace and joy, and so it strives for life in its own way. However, … Continue reading Joy to the World!
The Night Before Christmas
This poem is my version of the original prose, “Twas the Night Before Christmas” that was acclaimed to have been written by Clement Clarke Moore in 1837. I take no credit for the style, nor for the words that have been versed to give God the glory for His amazing gift of Jesus. He came … Continue reading The Night Before Christmas
Make a Joyful Noise
We have so much to be thankful for, and it all begins with Christmas! Jesus wasn't actually born on December 25th but in the early spring when all the baby lambs were born. But this is when we celebrate His birth, the fulfillment of God's promise to send a Savior who would take away our … Continue reading Make a Joyful Noise
Our Time to Shine

The Most Amazing Gift
Christmas Day is almost here! Many of us will open gifts with joy because we got what we'd hoped for. Others won't get big gifts but will enjoy the festivities and time spent with family and friends. God loves to bless His children at Christmas, but the most significant gift to behold won't be found … Continue reading The Most Amazing Gift
We Don’t Deserve This!
Sometimes, it's hard to imagine how much Jesus loves us or that He loved us before we were even born! Jesus gave up His throne in Heaven to come to earth and become a man, the promised Messiah who would take away the world's sins. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, He forgives our … Continue reading We Don’t Deserve This!
The Truth Has Set Us Free
Being a Christian is more than belonging to a physical congregation; it's having a relationship with Jesus. We became a Christian because God gave us enough faith to believe that we were sinners in need of a Savior and that Jesus IS that Savior. But we need to study the Scriptures to know Jesus personally … Continue reading The Truth Has Set Us Free
