No one likes being told they're wrong. Yet, as Christians, the Lord has instructed us to tell the lost that they need to repent for their sins and follow Jesus. How can we do that without sounding judgmental and uncaring? We can follow the example of Charlie Kirk. He'd tell the person that he understood … Continue reading A Better Way!
Making Demands
Faith is believing when everything around us says it's impossible. But sometimes, we pray for something, and when it doesn't happen right away, or the way we told God to do it, we begin to doubt and give up—because we have our priorities backwards. Jesus is not OUR servant; He is our Lord, whom we … Continue reading Making Demands
Deception is Convincing!
Deception is convincing, and it's Satan's greatest tool. He uses media outlets to spread it, and sadly, many Christians are so ignorant of God's Word that they believe the lies. When Christ is not the center of our Christian walk, we will believe anything that supports our emotions, desires, and logic. But we are called … Continue reading Deception is Convincing!
Don’t Blame God!
It's hard to rejoice in the Lord when going through rough times. So, we must discipline ourselves to read our Bibles and be reminded that God is not our problem; He is our only hope for the answer. It's the devil who wants to kill and destroy us, and when we cry to God and … Continue reading Don’t Blame God!
When We Can’t Help
Sometimes, we feel useless when someone needs help and we can't help them. Whether it's a person we know or someone we befriend online, when we can't help because of our own physical issues, distance, or lack of finances, we feel bad. We must remember that being Christian isn't about us! It's about following Jesus … Continue reading When We Can’t Help
Follow the Voice!
Most of us would be fearful if we were lost and alone in the wilderness. But if we heard our father calling out to us in the distance, we'd be relieved and filled with hope. We'd follow His voice and be at peace and full of joy just knowing He's there and has come to … Continue reading Follow the Voice!
A Rejected Gift Hurts
With a heart of joy, a loving grandfather gave his precious grandchild a gift. I watched his joy turn into heartbreak when her mother tossed the gift into the cold rain amid the child's cries. It hurt beyond words, and for the first time in my walk with Jesus, I had a glimpse of the … Continue reading A Rejected Gift Hurts
Who Cares?
Sometimes, we feel as if no one cares, but God cares. It grieves Him to see us trodden down when He's already given us the victory. Jesus overcame the evil one at the cross when He bore the punishment for our sins, took on our sorrows and pain, and rose from the grave to give … Continue reading Who Cares?
The Focus of Winners
In competitive races, runners don't focus on feelings or surroundings, but on crossing the finish line. As Christians, we must focus on Jesus, what He has done and IS doing, and remember that He is running this race with us. I recently heard the heartbreaking testimony of a rescued hostage, who described the torment and … Continue reading The Focus of Winners
Believing is Seeing!
Christianity is more than accepting Jesus as our Savior; it's also following Him as our Lord! Jesus said in John 14:15, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." And in 1 John 4:1, "He who abides in love abides in God, and God in him." We don't believe something because we see it; we see something because we believe it! We must … Continue reading Believing is Seeing!
Why Me, Lord?
"Why me, Lord?" Why do some Christians fight harder battles than the world's people when God is supposed to be on our side? Well, God IS on our side, but when we don't know Jesus as our Lord who cares for us, we allow doubt to set in and defeat us. In John 16:33, Jesus … Continue reading Why Me, Lord?
Different is Good!
As Christians, we're different from the people of the world, and this is good. We have different values, morals, and priorities because our allegiance is to another god. We serve the God of Heaven, and Jesus is our Lord who gave His life to save ours so we could have our sins forgiven and be … Continue reading Different is Good!
Finding Joy in the Darkness
When afflicted by sadness, stress, and chaos, it's easy to give up and give in. But God! When we accept Jesus as our Savior and study the Bible to know Him and His plans for this world as it spirals into darkness, we are filled with His peace, knowing He's still in control. The Old … Continue reading Finding Joy in the Darkness
Anxiety Disorder?
The Bible says we're entering a time when peace will be taken from the earth. And it's already begun, as anxiety disorders are becoming the norm in this evil, chaotic world. Many of us face urgent needs, changes we can't cope with, and situations beyond our control, and we become overwhelmed with panic, doubt, and … Continue reading Anxiety Disorder?
Directing Trust
Many of us want to succeed independently in this world. However, its agenda prefers that we put our trust in someone or something that it controls, and for Christians, that often conflicts with our beliefs and values. We must remember that, although the devil is aggressively pushing his evil agenda, Jesus has already overcome it … Continue reading Directing Trust
Never Give Up!
Sin and chaos in this world are spreading fast, sparking fear and defeat in the hearts of many. Sadly, things won't get better; they'll get worse as we head into the Great Tribulation, when evil will overtake this world. The good news is that before this happens, Jesus will come and take all believers out … Continue reading Never Give Up!
Not Surprised!
The world is now spiraling into utter destruction. But Christians should not be surprised; this has all been foretold by Bible prophets, as well as Jesus Himself, right down to the absolute chaos and global political collapse that lies just ahead. We are living in the time of God's divine plan when Jesus will gather … Continue reading Not Surprised!
When We Need Help!
This world is falling apart as values and rules shift to accommodate a growing minority. We try to do what we believe is right, but the old ways aren't acceptable anymore, and fear, anger, and a feeling of defeat set in. As Christians, we must remember that we're living in the last days before Jesus … Continue reading When We Need Help!
The Imperfect Blend!
Modern Christianity has expanded its rights and freedoms, but more is not always better. God does not change, and neither do His laws, warnings, or promises. What He said in Scripture still stands today—no exceptions! Modern Christians want to blend with the world while still holding on to God's promises of the good life, and … Continue reading The Imperfect Blend!
God Hates?
God does NOT hate people, but the world twists the words in the Bible to say it promotes hate. God created us in love and spent time with Adam and Eve in the garden because He loved them. But God is Holy, and when they sinned, they separated all people from God, which is why … Continue reading God Hates?
Smile, God Loves You!
