Many assume they'll go to Heaven when they die but will cry in agony when they get turned away. There's only ONE way to get into Heaven—Jesus. We must accept His salvation to have our sins forgiven and filled with HIS righteousness. Then, we are HIS sheep, and He is OUR Shepherd, and He alone … Continue reading Sheep or Predator?
Do You Agree to Disagree?
What would you say if you were asked about your faith in God? Many professing Christians believe we should avoid embarrassment from religious controversy and agree to disagree on who God is. But real Christians, those of us who love and follow Jesus, knowing He's our Savior, Lord, and King, can't keep it in! God's … Continue reading Do You Agree to Disagree?
God Loves You!

But God still loved all of us, so He became a man, died in our place for … Continue reading God Loves You!
What to Do!
Today's society lacks respect and manners. Sometimes, we want to give back the same rudeness and disrespect that's being given to us. But as Christians, we don't act like the world; we follow Jesus! He said to treat others the way we want to be treated. In the Beatitudes (Luke 6), Jesus explains how to … Continue reading What to Do!
Opinions!
This world has become a dwelling place for evil and chaos. Good is now called evil, and evil is called good. Even the church accepts changes that God never ordained, and most have an opinion on what they think is right and wrong. But as Christians, we don't have an opinion; we KNOW what's right … Continue reading Opinions!
Fear, Our First Reaction!
God tells us many times in the Bible not to fear—yet it's often our first reaction when going through a crisis. We see the problem with no apparent answer and forget who God is—and who we are in Him! God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth; He's our Savior, Lord, and Judge over everything, … Continue reading Fear, Our First Reaction!
Love Isn’t Love…
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!

A Powerful Word!

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.

And every person who has ever sinned has that same … Continue reading Gift of Love!
Beauty is Only Skin Deep!

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. But the real church is not an institution; it's a body of people who know and love Jesus as their Lord and Savior and follow Him. Jesus told … Continue reading It’s My 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
