As Christians, we're different from the people of the world, and this is good. We have different values, morals, and priorities because our allegiance is to another god. We serve the God of Heaven, and Jesus is our Lord who gave His life to save ours so we could have our sins forgiven and be … Continue reading Different is Good!
Finding Joy in the Darkness
When afflicted by sadness, stress, and chaos, it's easy to give up and give in. But God!

The Old … Continue reading Finding Joy in the Darkness
Anxiety Disorder?
The Bible says we're entering a time when peace will be taken from the earth. And it's already begun, as anxiety disorders are becoming the norm in this evil, chaotic world. Many of us face urgent needs, changes we can't cope with, and situations beyond our control, and we become overwhelmed with panic, doubt, and … Continue reading Anxiety Disorder?
Directing Trust
Many of us want to succeed independently in this world. However, its agenda prefers that we put our trust in someone or something that it controls, and for Christians, that often conflicts with our beliefs and values. We must remember that, although the devil is aggressively pushing his evil agenda, Jesus has already overcome it … Continue reading Directing Trust
Never Give Up!
Sin and chaos in this world are spreading fast, sparking fear and defeat in the hearts of many.

When We Need Help!
This world is falling apart as values and rules shift to accommodate a growing minority.

As Christians, we must remember that we're living in the last days before Jesus … Continue reading When We Need Help!
The Imperfect Blend!
Modern Christianity has expanded its rights and freedoms, but more is not always better. God does not change, and neither do His laws, warnings, or promises. What He said in Scripture still stands today—no exceptions! Modern Christians want to blend with the world while still holding on to God's promises of the good life, and … Continue reading The Imperfect Blend!
God Hates?
God does NOT hate people, but the world twists the words in the Bible to say it promotes hate. God created us in love and spent time with Adam and Eve in the garden because He loved them. But God is Holy, and when they sinned, they separated all people from God, which is why … Continue reading God Hates?
He’ll Be Back!
Jesus promised that He'd be back to gather all believers and take them Home with Him. These weren't idle words; this was a promise from God, and we know it's true because God is faithful to His Word.

When in Doubt…
Some problems are overwhelming, causing us to doubt any possible victory. And when our sword, the Bible, is not drawn, the devil keeps us in doubt. We must study our Bible and see how Jesus overcame the temptations and stresses Satan put on Him when He was in the wilderness, hungry, tired, and worn. Jesus … Continue reading When in Doubt…
Christians and Halloween
Most Christians have no idea that Halloween glorifies Satan; they see it as dressing up, having fun, and getting free treats. Halloween is a pagan religious celebration, originating 2000 years ago at the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts believed that the dead came back to life on this night. They dressed in costumes … Continue reading Christians and Halloween
When a Child Asks for Help!
As parents, it's hard to watch our children leave home and then make terrible choices in life that hurt them. We want to dive in and help, but they want us to stay out and let them do it their way. It's not until they humbly come to us for help that we can help … Continue reading When a Child Asks for Help!
How to De-Stress
Jesus warned us in Matthew 24 of the corruption and lawlessness of the time in which we live. Satan is pushing his agenda before God pours His wrath on all sin, and many are scared, even seeking medical attention for stress! But when we know Jesus as our Savior and read our Bibles daily, His … Continue reading How to De-Stress
Tears of Joy!
One of our deepest pains is the loss of a loved one. Their memories surround us, and we struggle to go on without them. But if this loved one knew Jesus, they're not really gone; they've just moved on to a new location, the same eternal home we plan to live in soon. And while … Continue reading Tears of Joy!
When the Going Gets Tough
When the going gets tough, the tough in Christ get going. Not by our own strength, wisdom, or direction, but by HIS! Paul quoted the Lord in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." He tells us in Ephesians 6:10, "Be strong in the Lord … Continue reading When the Going Gets Tough
Our Words Matter!
Our words and attitude matter! As Christians, our commission is to encourage one another and show God's love and mercy to the lost. Just as "we catch more flies with honey than with vinegar," we also get more people to see God in us when our words are encouraging and give hope, rather than aggressive … Continue reading Our Words Matter!
The Burn Out!
Sometimes, we get so busy doing things FOR God that we forget to spend time WITH God, and we slowly burn out. The Lord wants us to share His love, mercy, and grace with the lost and to encourage one another so we don't give up, but we are in a spiritual battle that we … Continue reading The Burn Out!
Don’t Take it Back!
Many of us pray about our worries, but still feel burdened when we say, "Amen." We MUST train ourselves to stand in faith and keep doubt out! Jesus said in Matthew 21:22 that whatever we ask in prayer, we will receive if we have faith. In Mark 4:40, He scolded His disciples when they feared … Continue reading Don’t Take it Back!
Shining for Jesus!
We are living in a dark, evil world, and Jesus is our ONLY hope of survival! However, most can't see Jesus because of the intense darkness, so it's up to Christians to be His Light and shine so they can see Him. Every time we share a smile, offer a helping hand, do a good … Continue reading Shining for Jesus!
