A successful business proposal is as crucial for the associate as sharing the gospel is for the Christian. As Christ's disciples, we must share the gospel with the lost so they can know Jesus and be saved. We're to warn them about God's coming wrath upon this world and His judgment towards sinners, but it's … Continue reading When Success is Crucial!
Procrastination Kills!
This world is racing into its darkest hour. The "good ol' days" are a distant memory; hopes for a better tomorrow are a dream. All we have is today because evil is taking over everything, and the devil is about to be glorified. Jesus is our only hope for now and for eternity. Don't assume … Continue reading Procrastination Kills!
Overcoming Defeat!
Problems can defeat us when we depend on our own abilities and wisdom. But as Christians, we know we can't win over our problems because we don't have the strength, wisdom, or ability to defeat the devil who's behind them. But Jesus does! When He is our Lord, and we give our problems to Him … Continue reading Overcoming Defeat!
Because He Loves Us!
Most people's knowledge and understanding of God are limited to their own ideals, inspired by the glamor of celebrities or the power of political icons. And that's sad because God IS real! He's majestic and powerful yet loving and merciful, and He wants us to know Him so He can take care of us and … Continue reading Because He Loves Us!
Love Never Fails!
We all get frustrated, anxious, and even angry at times, a natural reaction to living in this ever-changing, corrupt world.

As we live each day … Continue reading Love Never Fails!
I Can Do Anything!
This world is getting darker every day. Laws, morals, personal rights, and social integrity have drastically changed in the last few years, and many of us wonder how we'll make it through today.

A Friend For Life!
It's great to have a friend to share our joys with or help us through rough times, but sadly, they aren't always here when we need them. But there is a friend who promised never to leave us and who can get us through everything. That Friend is Jesus! No one on earth loves us … Continue reading A Friend For Life!
Jesus is Alive!
Jesus was brutally beaten and crucified for OUR sins. The skies turned black, the earth quaked, and the graves split open when Jesus landed in hell, defeated sin and death, and set the captives free! He fulfilled His purpose as the sacrificial Lamb for our sins, and then God raised Him from the grave. The … Continue reading Jesus is Alive!
Believing is Seeing!
The disciples of Jesus mourned His death. His teachings had offended many, causing a political stir amongst the people, so to be executed for treason wasn't unusual. But this was Jesus! They'd been enriched by His teachings and had witnessed incredible miracles; they believed He was their Messiah and King and would live forever. Yet, … Continue reading Believing is Seeing!
The Heart of Good Friday!
Many years ago, Jesus set aside His throne in Heaven to become a man and take on the punishment for our sins. After Judas betrayed Him, Jesus was apprehended by the soldiers, given a short mock trial, and then sentenced to die. The soldiers slammed a despicable crown of thorns on Jesus' head, ripping His … Continue reading The Heart of Good Friday!
The Supper That Matters!
The last supper Jesus shared with His disciples was a foresight of salvation and judgment. He warned them of His death to prepare them for the horrors they'd face the next day and of His resurrection to give them hope. Jesus, the eternal Son of God, came to earth as a man and died on … Continue reading The Supper That Matters!
The Warning!
In the last week of His earthly life, Jesus taught about His Kingdom; many were encouraged, but more were angered. When He left the temple, He went to the Mount of Olives and told His disciples about the last days of this world—the days WE live in. He warned of the evil and deception of … Continue reading The Warning!
Truth Still Stands!
The day after He cleansed the temple, Jesus returned to preach. He compared the wealthy, self-righteous Pharisees to the lowly sinners who repented and surrendered to God. This angered them because Jesus, a man of no status or wealth, publically rebuked their authority. Many Christians today have the same attitude because of their wealth and … Continue reading Truth Still Stands!
The Sunday Christian?
The day after Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the donkey, He entered the temple that had become a giant flea market. In anger, He rebuked the people and flipped the money changer's tables. Today, things are no different; many attend church on Sundays to look good but live like the world the rest of the … Continue reading The Sunday Christian?
Celebrating Palm Sunday!
Today, Christians celebrate Psalm Sunday, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. It was customary for kings to ride donkeys when entering a city in peace, and hundreds of anxious followers believed He was their prophesied King and went before Him singing. They anticipated that He'd be crowned that day, but when He was … Continue reading Celebrating Palm Sunday!
Changing Truth?
The world promotes Truth as being whatever we believe it to be. But Truth is God, and God does not change; the world cannot change Truth. Many Christians pray about something but don't have the faith to believe God for the answer—but that doesn't mean God's Word isn't True. We must focus on Jesus and … Continue reading Changing Truth?
Don’t Play With Fire!
Hebrews 4:16 tells us to come boldly to the throne of grace. God is Almighty and Holy; we are all undeserving sinners, yet Jesus loved us anyway and gave His life to save ours. He said to ask Him anything in prayer, so we come humbly, surrendering to His authority and trusting in His ways … Continue reading Don’t Play With Fire!
The Hour is Coming!
Our evil world is about to enter its darkest hour, as Jesus forewarned in Matthew 24. But people are blind to the warnings, and those who love evil will be in their glory; those who were too busy to know the Truth when they had a chance will cry out to God in torment. All … Continue reading The Hour is Coming!
Where is Your Heart?
Many recite the sinner's prayer but aren't sure if they're Christians or not. This is why we must examine our hearts. What do we treasure the most? What do we think about, spend money on, and long for? If our focus is still on the treasures of this world, then all we did was agree … Continue reading Where is Your Heart?
It’s Not Enough!
It's not enough to only hear about the good things of God. Teachers and preachers share the Word and instruct us, but it's not enough to take their word for it and assume they're right. We can't act on hearsay. We can't stand for God or have faith in Him when all we know about … Continue reading It’s Not Enough!
Smile, God Loves You!
