Jesus warned us of the corruption that would consume this world before He returned. The despicable Olympic Celebrations displayed relentless acts of immorality and blasphemy and should be a clear warning to Christians that the time of Christ's return is near. Jesus warned us in Matthew 24, and Paul gives even more detail in 2 … Continue reading It’s a Warning!
When Tragedy Strikes!
When tragedy strikes and loved ones are taken, we ask why! We blame God and give Him dozens of reasons why He should have spared them. Perhaps they were Christians who loved the Lord; maybe they were on the verge of salvation. But we must stop trying to figure it out and start trusting the … Continue reading When Tragedy Strikes!
A Surprise is Coming!
Many so-called Christians expect to make it to Heaven, but a surprise is coming! We don't get to Heaven by saying we're Christian, going to church, or doing good works because we still have sin in us—and sin can't get into Heaven because God and Heaven are Holy. We must realize that we're sinners and … Continue reading A Surprise is Coming!
Our Heart’s Desire!

Hindsight!

The Power of a Lord!
A "lord" is someone or something who rules over us with power and authority. In times past, lords purchased people to serve them, and they'd form a community where the lord would rule over them, care for them, and protect them. He's the one they'd go to for every need. For Christians, Jesus is our … Continue reading The Power of a Lord!

The Prize!
We enter a race for the prize! As Christians, our lives are like athletes in a champion race. They begin at the starting line, but after a while, many forget the prize, focus on their abilities, and slowly fall away. Others stay focused, persevere, suffer endurance, and cross the finish line to attain the prize. … Continue reading The Prize!
Facing the Bully!
A small child facing a bully alone will cry in fear! But when he runs to his father and stands behind him, the bully runs in fear. This is our relationship with God. He is our Father and Protector, our shelter and our refuge, and NO one equals His power or His love. On our … Continue reading Facing the Bully!
The Life I Live!

But Jesus Said, You’re Mine!

When we're praising the Lord, we're … Continue reading But Jesus Said, You’re Mine!
Don’t Be Overwhelmed!
Even as Christians, the weight of some problems overwhelms us, and we panic. We take our eyes off God and His promises and forget that the world can't win because we belong to Jesus!

Love is Not Enough!
It's not enough to teach only of God's love and blessings. We must also tell of God's hate for sin that separates us from Him—AND that we have ALL sinned (Romans 3:23). We must show the Scriptures that tell us to repent of our sins (2 Peter 3:9) and accept Jesus as our Savior (John … Continue reading Love is Not Enough!
