We need nourishing food to grow and stay healthy, yet many live on junk food because it's convenient and satisfying. Our Christian walk is similar. Some are completely satisfied with convenient doctrines; others hunger to know the Truth and won't stop until they learn it and find Jesus! God knows our hearts, and when we … Continue reading Are You Hungry?
If I Perish, I Perish!
Queen Esther made a heroic stand before the king in the Old Testament. She risked being killed for approaching him without permission, yet did it in faith to save the Jewish nation from annihilation.

Have You Ever Asked This?
Have you ever asked, "Am I really saved?" Some people hear the message of Christ and recite the "sinner's prayer" but have no desire to read their Bibles or change any part of their lives. For them, salvation was merely a good idea at the time. When we really ARE saved, we know it! God's … Continue reading Have You Ever Asked This?

Rich Without Sorrows!
This world's gifts are often conditional, come with added costs, and eventually need to be replaced. We must insure them and spend time and money to maintain them.

God Rejoices!
Many see God as a harsh, demanding being; it's his way or no way. They don't realize that God is Holy and that Satan has tainted us with sin, so we can't come into His presence. God made laws and ordained people to enforce them to protect us and keep us from falling into the … Continue reading God Rejoices!
The Fervent Prayer!
Prayer is NOT reciting formulas to appease God; prayer is personal.

We’re Forgiven, Not Perfect!
Sometimes, people deliberately hurt us. But as Christians, we MUST forgive them because to not forgive is to judge and condemn, and that's the Lord's position, not ours.

Hiding Truth to Fit In!
Many Christians won't speak against things they know are wrong; as long as they don't do them, it's okay. But it's not okay! We are God's children! We don't hide the Truth to fit in with society, pretend to agree with sin, defend it under any circumstances, or submit to worldly counseling to get around … Continue reading Hiding Truth to Fit In!
Happy Mother’s Day!
One of the greatest honors a woman can have is being a mother. We are responsible for raising our children to know, love, and follow Jesus.

People in Hell?
Many say God is love and won't send anyone to hell; they are deceived! God is Holy; NO ONE comes into His presence if they haven't been cleansed from their sins.

It’s Not Impossible!

Show them Jesus!
Many live each day to build on their careers, pursue goals, and enjoy pleasures. Satan encourages this to keep them busy with themselves so they won't want to know Jesus.
