Often when those unexpected trials and challenges come, many Christians will first try to work it out on their own or with the help of the world — and then when all else fails they'll turn to God. He is often the last resort people go to for help and THAT is a true sign that they have … Continue reading When God is Our Last Resort
What is Your Life Worth?
Too often we base our actual human value—our true self-worth—on what we can do. While knowledge, expertise, experience and accomplishments add honor to our lifestyle, none of them depict our actual worth. They reveal what is important to us, but are the things we do the benchmark that makes our life valuable? How can we know what … Continue reading What is Your Life Worth?
Close Your Eyes and See!
There is so much deception going on around us in the world today that it’s almost impossible to know what is true. Our benchmark has become one of false promises and forged hopes, and so many of us have foolishly accepted these pretences because they're easy. Lies and deception are the forces behind inevitable destruction. But … Continue reading Close Your Eyes and See!
There’s Sorrow in Doing Nothing
There are many contentious issues debated in our world today that seem to divide even the Christians. Many believers will voice their opinion in secret or amongst themselves, but they won’t take a public stand for what is right. They don’t realize that they are part of the problem when they just let things happen and … Continue reading There’s Sorrow in Doing Nothing
The Importance of Forgiving
Jesus said in Matthew 6:12, “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” Forgiveness is what being a Christian is all about. There are basically three types of forgiveness that we need to apply to our lives—and each one is crucial in our walk with God. Divine Forgiveness: We learn in Romans … Continue reading The Importance of Forgiving
Losing our Drive to Obey God
The Christian world is changing! There are Christians today who don’t study the Bible to know God because they just rely on the preacher to teach them everything they need to know! Then there are "others" who choose to follow one of the many so-called “Christian” doctrines because the "new" [false] gospel suits their needs so … Continue reading Losing our Drive to Obey God
…And the Broad Way to Destruction Widens
Much of the modern-day Christian doctrine teaches that God is a god of “love and grace”, and that repentance and commitment are no longer prerequisites to get into Heaven because we were all saved at the cross when Jesus said, “It is finished”—[John 19:30]. However, this deception is leading millions down the wrong path … and so … Continue reading …And the Broad Way to Destruction Widens
Pride that Kills!
So often people get the concept of pride confused with gratitude. When we have worked hard to accomplish something, we feel proud or grateful that we have accomplished this thing, and so it gives us joy and makes us happy. We are proud of our accomplishments. But when we have the type of pride that … Continue reading Pride that Kills!
Deadly Effects of Itching Ears
Years ago we knew who the “Christians” were because their character revealed a reverence for God. They’d all dress in their best clothes on Sunday mornings and trot off to one of the dozen different denominational churches. The church bells would ring out and everybody knew that it was the Lord’s Day. But gradually, the … Continue reading Deadly Effects of Itching Ears
Wimp or Warrior?
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.

But the fact is, most of us can look … Continue reading Worthless Collectibles
