A relationship takes two. God speaks to us through His Word—the Bible—and we talk to Him through prayer. If we're going to have a relationship with Jesus, we must study our Bibles to know Him and spend time in prayer to communicate with Him. We can praise Him, talk about our problems, tell Him how … Continue reading Prayer is Not an Option!
Gospel of Peace!
We're living in the last days of this corrupt world as it heads into God's judgment.

We can spread … Continue reading Gospel of Peace!
Reacting Badly!
Sometimes, things don't turn out as they should, and we react badly. Other times, we're mocked and humbled for standing for something and losing.

We must pray fervently, study the Bible diligently, and seek God's direction in everything … Continue reading Reacting Badly!
No More Worries!
The world's people may call out to God in desperation, but they rarely get an answer because they don't know God. But when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and study our Bibles to know Him, we don't have to worry if He hears our prayers; we KNOW He does! And though we're … Continue reading No More Worries!
DIY Salvation?
Apostle Paul tells us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). This does NOT mean we can get to Heaven our way, through works or giving. It means that salvation comes ONLY by Jesus, who gave His life on the cross to redeem us to God, BUT that it's up … Continue reading DIY Salvation?
Peace and Victory!
The Bible tells us that many believers perish from a lack of knowledge. This corrupt world tries to draw us into its evil clutches, and many of us live in fear because of ignorance.

A Bed of Rose!
Many new Christians think that life will now be a bed of roses. False teachers stress that giving money to God through their ministry will give you a life to be envied. However, the very opposite is true. We live in a corrupt world that hates Jesus, and because we are Christians, it hates us, … Continue reading A Bed of Rose!
Discarding Values!
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 Cross is the Beginning!
Many accept Jesus as their Savior, but then go back to their old lives.

God hears and answers our prayers, … Continue reading The Cross is the Beginning!
The Day After!
The day after Jesus rose from the grave, He began a 40-day tour. He visited many followers who loved Him and met His disciples in Galilee, as He'd said He would.

The Captives Rejoice!
John was the only disciple who stayed with Jesus at the cross. The others fled in fear, not understanding what Jesus meant when He said He'd die, rise from the grave, and meet them alive in Galilee. But His death on the cross was a victory, and in His last breath, Jesus said, "It is … Continue reading 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. But this was God's plan. Jesus is God in the flesh, who left His throne in Heaven to become a man … Continue reading The Ultimate Gift of Love

The Sting of Betrayal!
Jesus taught the disciples on the Mount of Olives using many parables. Afterward, He visited Simon's home where Mary anointed Him with oil, a symbolic gesture indicating His death and burial. This angered Judas, one of the disciples, who argued the oil could have been sold for money. He had no spiritual connection with Jesus, … Continue reading The Sting of Betrayal!
The Last Message!
Jesus preached His last sermon in the Temple, directing His message at the Pharisees and Sadducees, who were hypocrites and false teachers. He rebuked their evil works from the time of Moses to that day and warned them that they'd all go to hell. He made His last plea for the people to turn to … Continue reading The Last Message!
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. The chief priests and elders immediately confronted Him, demanding by whose authority He cleansed the Temple and was now preaching. Jesus answered in parables that concluded with the kingdom … Continue reading The Plot Begins!
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. Jesus chose 12 disciples to join His crusades as He taught the people and gained a mighty following. When Jesus rode to the Passover … Continue reading Remembering Palm Sunday!
The Perfect Way!
The world says it's luck when things go right, but as Christians, we know it's God!

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.
