God IS real! He does NOT change to suit people; we change to please Him! God is the Alpha and the Omega, the Almighty Creator, the Holy One who's Just, Righteous, and True. He is the same today as He was when He spoke the Scriptures and will be tomorrow and throughout eternity. He created … Continue reading Changing Gods!
Fear No Evil!
A shepherd's primary tool is his staff, a solid stick with a hook at one end. When a sheep gets in trouble or needs guidance, the shepherd uses the hook to pull it back; when it needs protection, the stick is used to ward off predators. As Christians in a corrupt and evil world, we … Continue reading Fear No Evil!
Free to Rejoice!
This corrupt world will get much worse as the end of the age approaches. And the end is near! Every Bible prophecy to date has come to pass, and the signs Jesus warned us about are all clearly before us: political and economic unrest, an increase in lawlessness and moral depravity, and a hatred for … Continue reading Free to Rejoice!
He Loves us That Much!
Many believe in Jesus but are ashamed to admit it for fear of being mocked. Yet, Jesus, who is God in the flesh, King of kings and Lord of lords, was not ashamed to put aside His royalty and become a man so He could die a barbaric death on the cross and redeem us … Continue reading He Loves us That Much!
Redeemed!
We live in a dark world that's doomed for judgment. God created a perfect world, but Satan corrupted it with sin; now, every person born is an automatic citizen of his evil kingdom. But Jesus wanted us back, so He came and died on the cross for our sins. To everyone who accepts His salvation, … Continue reading Redeemed!
Building Character!
Christian responses differ from those of worldly people. Mature Christians who study the Bible become filled with God's character; we don't have to focus on how to react because our thoughts, words, and actions come naturally, like those of Jesus. As Pastor John MacArthur stated, "Spiritual maturity is when your involuntary responses are godly." We … Continue reading Building Character!
When Seasons Change!
When the seasons of nature change, we're prepared. But when the seasons of life change, many suffer because we live in an ever-changing world where good and evil are compromised. Yet, God NEVER changes! His Word stands forever! When we know Jesus as our Savior, we know His promises are sure; He WILL do what … Continue reading When Seasons Change!
All We Need!
Commercialism makes us greedy! It convinces us to "need" luxury houses, expensive cars, lavish vacations, exclusive clothing, and all the high-tech we can get. We'll stop at nothing to get it all because we feel we deserve it—yet we'll never be satisfied because the changes never stop. But when Jesus is our Savior, greed falls … Continue reading All We Need!
Lifetime Promise!
Many of us have days when we think God has forgotten us. We ask Him for help, but when nothing changes, we take our eyes off Him and focus on the world as it closes in. But as Christians, we MUST study the Bible daily and keep His Truth in our hearts and minds. God … Continue reading Lifetime Promise!
Going Down!
This world is going down! It's overcome with sin and corruption, and God is about to end it all. People across the globe have been deceived by its lust to turn from God and live in sin, and what's sad is that most prefer the sinful lifestyle and have no idea of its consequences. Sin … Continue reading Going Down!
Divine Joy!
No joy in this life compares to that of praising the Lord! Alcohol, drugs, or sexual encounters give temporary joy but don't satisfy the hungry soul. But when we know Jesus as our Savior, He fills us with divine joy and peace that the world can't know. We come into His presence and are reminded … Continue reading Divine Joy!
He Meant What He Said!
God does not speak idle words; what He says in the Bible, He means! The Bible is a book of history and revelation. It's God speaking to those who seek Him, giving His instructions, wisdom, counsel, and guidance to those who love Him. The world sees it as a controversial text; to us who accept … Continue reading He Meant What He Said!
Fine Line!
There's a fine line between the new-age church and the world. The church has compromised its beliefs so much that there's almost no difference between so-called Christians and the world. But there IS a noticeable difference for real born-again, Spirit-filled believers who love and follow Jesus. We don't compromise God's Word, agree with the world's … Continue reading Fine Line!
When All Else Fails…
Many Christians believe they must do all they can in a situation and, when all else fails, ask God for help. This is wrong. It's not Scriptual; in fact, the Bible tells us just the opposite. Jesus is our Lord, which means He bought us (with His own blood). He is our Provider, Helper, Leader, … Continue reading When All Else Fails…
What I Can Do!
Many of us get overwhelmed by stressful situations and say, "I can't do this." We live in a corrupt world that's controlled by Satan, its god, and he's set out to destroy us. But when we accept Jesus as our Savior, Jesus frees us from the devil's clutches, forgives our sins, and fills us with … Continue reading What I Can Do!
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
Despite our surroundings, we are thankful. Like the rest of the world, our country feels the effects of economic, political, and moral change, and many suffer unfairly. This is why we must take our eyes off the world and look at the reality of God and all Jesus has done for us on the cross. … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
We’re Covered!
Many strive to achieve this world's expected goals. Most don't make it. We must open our eyes and realize that there IS a loving God in Heaven who created nature, designed the universe, and made each of us. When sin invaded His creation, God came to earth as a man and overcame the evil world … Continue reading We’re Covered!
No Competition!
Competition in sports is healthy and challenging for the mind and body, but it's not a good mandate for Christians. When we get to Heaven, God won't reward us based on the size of our job but on how we did it. Our jobs may be minute compared to others, but this isn't a competition; … Continue reading No Competition!
Not What But How!
Sometimes, it's not what we say that offends; it's how we say it! As Christians, we must reach out and present the truth to those who don't know Jesus and help them see that they must accept Christ's salvation or face His wrath against sin. And we do it without judging or condemning—always remembering that … Continue reading Not What But How!
A Wonderful Life!
We don't go to Heaven and become angels when we die. The souls of Christians go to be with God, and those who refused Christ's salvation on earth will wait in darkness, fearing His judgment. Jesus is about to call all believers who are alive on earth to join those in Heaven; our bodies will … Continue reading A Wonderful Life!
