We have no hope of surviving the chaos of this evil world alone.

Jesus becomes our Lord who cares for us, our Provider, … Continue reading Safety in the Chaos
The Onus is On Us!
Many believe that accepting Jesus as their Savior is all that's needed to be a Christian. But that acceptance is merely the beginning of our new life in Christ; now we must study the Bible to know Him and all that He accomplished on the cross for us, what He has prepared for us in … Continue reading The Onus is On Us!
The Joy in Waiting
Waiting can be exciting when expecting something good, or fearful when anticipating something bad. This world is spiraling into sin, and many wait daily in fear for what lies ahead. However, God is still in control, and He's about to pour out His judgment on this sinful world, but before He does, Jesus will call … Continue reading The Joy in Waiting
What We Say and Do!
When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we become new creatures in Christ; we want to follow Him, not the ways of the world.

The Lookout!
As Dean Martin once sang out, everybody needs somebody some time. In this evil world, there are times when it's not easy to endure daily living, let alone trials and struggles. As Christians, God wants us to look out for one another and help the hurting brother or sister from turning to the world for … Continue reading The Lookout!
Stand for Truth!
This chaotic world has an explanation for everything, convincing us that it's all under control. They say it's progress as the world seeks global peace, but it's really a world rushing into God's judgment because of sin, deception, and lawlessness, just as the prophets said would happen in the last days before Jesus takes His … Continue reading Stand for Truth!
Love is Binding!
There's a difference between knowing about Jesus and actually knowing Him. I may be fascinated by the perks and benefits of a certain career, but until I commit to it, become educated and skilled in it, I am merely a wannabe. It's like that with Christianity. We may know ABOUT Jesus, but it's not until … Continue reading Love is Binding!

Grace is All We Need!
Salvation isn't a gradual transition from sinner to saved. It's yes or no—we're saved, or we're not. We're filled with God's Spirit, or we're not. We're covered by His love, or we still belong to the world. Salvation is a commitment to Jesus, accepting Him as God's Son, who gave His life on the cross … Continue reading Grace is All We Need!
Never Give Up!
It's the heartfelt conviction of Christians to pray for the salvation of loved ones, yet many of us are discouraged when we don't see any change.

As Christians, we rise each morning and seek God's guidance and protection. When problems come, we give them to Jesus in prayer because … Continue reading Happy to Be Alive!
Walking in Fear!
We know we're in trouble when good is being called evil, and evil is being called good. Our future welfare is unsure, making life for many a daily walk in fear of what lies ahead. But for us who know Jesus, we don't walk in fear; we rejoice in our Lord because we know He … Continue reading Walking in Fear!

New Year’s Resolutions!
Tonight, many of us will make resolutions with the hope of being better people in the new year.

Our Shield in the Chaos!

The Tangled Web
Oh, the tangled web that's weaved—when we turn from truth, and lies are believed. Satan corrupted this world when he deceived Eve into disobeying God, and now our world is filled with sin and chaos! False teachers and convenient religions deceive many by twisting God's Word, just as Satan does, to suit their own agendas. … Continue reading The Tangled Web
Gifts for a King
At the time of Christ's birth, wise men, who studied the Scriptures and knew He would be born then, followed the star that led them to Jesus. They knew Jesus was the promised Messiah, and brought Him gifts that showed their respect and honor for Him. They brought gold to signify His Kingship, frankincense to … Continue reading Gifts for a King
Why the Shepherds?
Have you ever wondered why the shepherds were the first ones God told about Christ's birth? We'd expect the religious leaders to be first, but God doesn't look at outside performance and traditions; He sees the heart! And the shepherds—least respected in all societies at that time—loved God and knew their Messiah would be born … Continue reading Why the Shepherds?
