There's a saying, "Love isn't love until we give it away." It's like saying, "Faith without works is dead." In 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, Paul said we can act like good Christians, but we are nothing if God's love is not in us. Old Testament prophecies of Messiah coming to save us from our sins were … Continue reading Love Isn’t Love…
You Are What You Love!
Our hearts change when we become Christians! The love we once had for worldly things turns into a love for God and spiritual things. Earthly possessions are temporal—we can't take them with us.

How Often We Forget!

A Powerful Word!
The word "can't" is powerful! It stops progress in its tracks, defies all possibility of victory, and quenches every hope for success. But "faith" is even more powerful! When we focus on God and what He CAN and WILL do for those who love Him and put their faith in Him, we'll see that situations … Continue reading A Powerful Word!
Voices!
Many Christians cry out to God but don't get answers. Yet, God DOES hear AND answer, but they're too focused on the devil's voice of doom to know it! Sometimes, we forget that we belong to Jesus and that HE has authority over everything, including the devil, and the ONLY voice we should hear is … Continue reading Voices!
Gift of Love!
How do we escape an evil world that is destined to destroy us? God is our only hope.

Love at First Sight!
It's often love at first sight when we meet our soul mate. We want to be with them, and there's nothing we wouldn't do for them. This is our love for Jesus when we meet Him and accept His salvation.

It’s My Job?
Most churches today have become social gatherings instead of places of worship. The people say it's not their job to preach the gospel; that's the pastor's job.

Bow in Shame!

Living For Ourselves!
Webster's Dictionary defines religion as an institutionalized program or personal set of religious beliefs and practices. The Bible defines Christianity as a personal relationship with Jesus. Religion has many gods and diverse teachings on improving self-worth. Christianity has one God who teaches that He alone is worthy of our praise. We have one Savior who … Continue reading Living For Ourselves!
A Crack in the Fence
The proverbial fence is filled with undecided people waiting for proof that being Christian is right for them.

As Christians, let's tell them the Truth … Continue reading A Crack in the Fence

Left Behind!
Two thousand years ago, John the Baptist preached the coming of Jesus, God's Son, who would take away their sins. Some listened; most ignored him. But Jesus came and died on the cross for our sins and rose on the third day to give us eternal life, just as it was prophesied. Some received Him; … Continue reading Left Behind!
The Truth About Riches!
False preachers proclaim that God's greatest desire is to bless us with material riches now. Real Christians know that God is about to pour out His wrath on this sinful world—not His blessings. We must focus on helping as many as possible find salvation in Jesus while there's still time. The Lord is our riches! … Continue reading The Truth About Riches!
More Than Me!
Sometimes, we only see how our problems affect us personally. Yet, often, others are involved in their cause and outcome that we don't know about. But God knows! He hears and answers our prayers, but He sees the whole picture, and He answers us in His way and timing BECAUSE He sees the whole picture. … Continue reading More Than Me!
He’s Real!
The devil is real! His objective is to steal, kill, and destroy us so we'll turn from God to serve him. He's a deceiver who causes promises to be broken, friendships to be destroyed, bad situations to worsen, and many to lose hope for restoration. But Christians know God's Word NEVER changes despite the circumstances! … Continue reading He’s Real!
Who Are You?
How people dress, speak, and act says a lot about who they are. The world's people are adamant about their rights, desires, and political views according to the world's agenda. But Christians no longer belong to this world; we have God's Spirit in us, and we're filled with HIS character. As we study the Bible, … Continue reading Who Are You?
Today is the Day!
We often miss "today" when we're worried about what will happen tomorrow. Even Christians give in to Satan's lies of defeat for tomorrow because we forget that Jesus is our Lord TODAY and that He is greater than that deceiver who He defeated at the cross. So when our faith is weak, we don't give … Continue reading Today is the Day!
