Two things keep us from calling out to Jesus when we need help. We're either too PROUD to ask God because we think it's belittling; after all, we are wise, intelligent people and will figure it out ourselves. Or we are ASHAMED of our situation and too embarrassed to ask God or anyone else for … Continue reading We Are NOT Alone
Take His Hand
We are all born into this sinful world that's dying because of Satan's hostile takeover, and we can't fight him on our own merits. So, Jesus died on the cross, defeated sin and death, and made a way for everyone to be restored back to our Heavenly Father. When we repent and accept Jesus as … Continue reading Take His Hand

The Worst Four-Letter Word
The worst four-letter word for Christians is "can't." As we study the Bible to know God and who we are in Him, we realize that we CAN do anything according to His will. When we face adverse situations, we need to stop and remember that He IS God and praise Him for His love and … Continue reading The Worst Four-Letter Word
Looking Beyond
The world's turmoil and unrest increase daily, and many are afraid. But as Christians, our faith isn't in what it can do; it's in what Jesus, our Savior, has done and will do.

Our Hope is in Our King

Amazing Grace!
Today, we reflect on Jesus, who died on the cross for our sins, freed us from the clutches of Satan, and redeemed us back to God, our Father.

The Last Supper

Come Forth!
A few days before Jesus went to the cross, He traveled to Bethany and raised Lazarus from the dead. He didn't give Lazarus eternal life at that time as Jesus hadn't yet died for our sins or been raised to eternal life. Jesus did this to show us that there's a time coming when He … Continue reading Come Forth!
He IS Coming Soon!
Some say there is no God; others serve their own god. But the God of Heaven is real, and His name is Yeshua (Jesus). Two thousand years ago, Jesus came to earth to become a man and die on the cross as punishment for our sins, and then He rose from the grave to return … Continue reading He IS Coming Soon!

On this day years ago, Jesus made His humble entrance into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey.

Everything We Do
Many so-called Christians are known for their own doctrines, attitudes, and lifestyles and for doing things for their own glory. But Galatians 5:22-23 says that (real) Christians are known by their fruits—the characteristics of the Spirit who dwells in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These characteristics make us who … Continue reading Everything We Do
Our Attitude
We have faith in things every day—we sit on a chair having no fear it will break. But do we have faith in God to be our Lord? Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, which means we need to study the Scriptures to know God and develop a relationship … Continue reading Our Attitude
He Abounds in Mercy
It's hard for many to accept that God is real because they are absorbed in this world's sins, and the truth is hidden from them. But God is as real as you and me, and He created us to live with Him forever in Heaven. This is why Jesus came, to die on the cross … Continue reading He Abounds in Mercy
Facing Tasks with a Happy Heart

Time is Running Out
Some of our family and friends hear the truth about Jesus but won't commit to Him because they're trapped by the ways of this world. As Christians, we need to pray for their salvation as if there were no tomorrow because—Jesus is coming soon, and those who don't know Him won't have a happy tomorrow. … Continue reading Time is Running Out
Where Does our Strength Come From?
Our attitude impacts what we do—even if we're trying to do a good deed. Sometimes, we have to do things that we don't really want to do or deal with situations that we'd really rather not, and the stress or anticipation can cause us to be anxious, angry, or even resentful. But when our hearts … Continue reading Where Does our Strength Come From?
