Many pray about their problems, but when they don't see the answer right away, defeat sets in. We must stay focused on Jesus, think on good things (Philippians 4:8), give Him praise and thanks for the victory (1 Thessalonians 5:18), and wait patiently (Philippians 4:6), because God does hear and answer our prayers (1 Peter … Continue reading Learning to Wait!
Just Another Good Idea!
Good ideas don't solve anything until they're put to work. Likewise, the idea of being Christian doesn't make us one until we commit to Jesus. Those who accept the idea but don't commit try hard to be what's expected of them, but in time, return to the world because their heart is still in it. … Continue reading Just Another Good Idea!
Encouraging Others!

No Change in Sight!
Things aren't always what they seem. We pray fervently for the salvation of loved ones, and have witnessed to them for years, but we don't see any change. This is because while God hears and answers our prayers and makes way for them to know Him, Satan fights to keep them. We must be patient, … Continue reading No Change in Sight!
True Submission!
Submitting to God goes far beyond words. It's a conviction of the heart that believes God for things the world says can't happen. It's focusing on Jesus despite the circumstances, and CHOOSING to trust Him. It's believing in our hearts that Jesus, who is greater than this world or our problems, defeated the devil at … Continue reading True Submission!
Filled With Hope!
We are living in a privileged time as Bible prophecy unfolds right before our eyes. As the war in the Middle East intensifies, its threats are humbling and bring fear to many.

Our Only Hope!

A good father loves his children at all times. He teaches them God's truth and blesses and disciplines them accordingly.

His arms are always open, his heart always full of love, and his lips … Continue reading A Good Father!
Trusting in What We See!
As Christians, we are God's children, and He is our Father. We don't let the world's opinions defeat us or its influence discourage us because God has promised to watch over and take care of us. So when problems come, we give them to Him in prayer, regardless of how big or small they are, … Continue reading Trusting in What We See!
What God Says!
As Christians, we must study the Bible to know God's Truth because the enemy is deceiving many through false teachings. AI technology is being used online to dub the voices of notable teachers. I recently heard a message, supposedly from Billy Graham, in which he approved of women pastors, citing modified Scriptures and using unusual … Continue reading What God Says!
Defeating Burdens!
This evil world spreads sin through lies and deception. As Christians, we live here, but this is not our home. We don't focus on how to succeed in a world that's heading into God's wrath, nor do we allow its burdens to defeat us. We focus on Jesus, who defeated sin and death at the … Continue reading Defeating Burdens!
Testimony of God’s Love!
We don't always understand why we go through certain situations because we only see what's in front of us. But God sees the big picture, and sometimes, He allows situations to teach us something or cause us to change our ways. At other times, He works through us for His purpose in helping others. Regardless … Continue reading Testimony of God’s Love!

He covers us with His grace because the righteousness of Jesus lives in us. God hears AND answers our prayers. In this world, we are weak and … Continue reading All We Need!
Not Loving This World!
We cannot be Christian and love the ways of this world. We love the people in it and commit to Jesus to share His gospel with as many as we can, but we do not accept the world's ways or laws above God's. This has nothing to do with appreciating the nature that God created … Continue reading Not Loving This World!
Always With Us!
This evil world is heading into God's wrath. Jesus warned us in Matthew 24 of all the evils that would prevail in the days before He returns—and we're indeed living in those days. Many of us suffer because of the sorrows and evils of this world, but when we accept Jesus as our Lord and … Continue reading Always With Us!
Eyes of Love!
What is love? Love is a characteristic that suffers long and is kind; does not envy or parade itself, and is not puffed up. It does not behave rudely or seek its own, and is not provoked. It thinks no evil and does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things and endures all things … Continue reading Eyes of Love!
When Jesus is Lord!
The devil is lord over this world because he bought us when he got Adam to sin against God. But Jesus bought us back when He died on the cross; He took the punishment for our sins, and rose from the grave to give us eternal life with Him. When we accept His salvation and … Continue reading When Jesus is Lord!
True Freedom!
We're in bondage when we allow our lusts and desires to deceive and control us. But we're set free when we know the Truth, adhere to its teaching, and obey its instructions. True freedom begins when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, study the Bible to know His Truth, and separate ourselves from … Continue reading True Freedom!
Afraid of the Dark!
Many people are afraid of the dark. And it's not the darkness of night but of the sin, lies, and deception that surrounds them. Every day, this world falls deeper into sin that's shrouded in lies and deception. Young people think it's a great world, filled with rights and freedom, no longer controlled by morals … Continue reading Afraid of the Dark!
June for Jesus!
Christians oppose worldly priorities. We focus on Jesus and His love for us, and follow Him; the world focuses on its rights to power and immoral desires. It celebrates June with parades, marking its pride in the rebellion against God's moral laws. However, we celebrate Jesus, who has freed us from the sins of this … Continue reading June for Jesus!
Smile, God Loves You!
