Even as Christians, we expect God to give us what we want right away, and when He doesn't, we give up and turn to the world. God sees the big picture, and He knows what we're going through and what we need. … Continue reading The Modern World!

I Can’t Do This!
We're programmed to believe the cliche, "I can do this." But NO one has the wisdom, strength, or power to defeat the evil that's set to destroy us—but God!

Jesus forgave our sins on the cross and made us righteous to enter Heaven, … Continue reading Leave the Baggage Behind!

Life in the Fast Lane!
Life today is fast-paced! Technology has replaced personal contact, and we're losing patience and kindness with each other—even with God because He doesn't answer us fast enough.
