The world discards values and humility as it destroys the family structure. It enforces rights to children they can't perceive, and encourages professionals to replace God. But as Christians, we must be wise in this world because we don't serve its god; we serve Almighty God, our Lord, Savior, and King. We submit our lives … Continue reading Discarding Values!

The Captives Rejoice!

The Ultimate Gift of Love
The trial of Jesus was short and biased. Satan wanted Jesus dead to defeat God and control this world, and he used the chief priests to do it because Jesus threatened their religious leadership.

The Plot Begins!
The day following His glorious entry into Jerusalem, Jesus returned to the Temple, where He'd tossed out the merchants and animals earlier, and began to preach.

Remembering Palm Sunday!
The Old Testament is filled with the promises of Christ's coming. Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise; He's the Savior who came to take away the sins of the world.

We study the Bible … Continue reading The Perfect Way!
Presentation is Everything!
They say that in the business world, presentation is everything. It's the same in the Christian world.

Seeing the Good in Life!
It's often easier to see the bad things in life than the good things. This is because the devil encourages us to dwell on the bad so he'll get the glory for them. But when we focus on Jesus and what He's done and is doing, we see His love and mercy and what He's … Continue reading Seeing the Good in Life!
