The Toughest Battle

We get stressed when we can't get answers to our problems. As Christians, Jesus told us to give HIM our problems, and He'd take care of them—1 Peter 5:7. When we obey God, we'll have peace, and things around us will fall into place because God is faithful to His Word. Sometimes though, the toughest … Continue reading The Toughest Battle

The Big Change

It's acceptable today for Christians to dress, act, and speak as they did before they converted. But—this deception will keep them from Heaven! Why? Because if we really ARE saved, Jesus becomes our Savior AND Lord, and our hearts are changed. We no longer belong to this world: we belong to God. His Spirit lives … Continue reading The Big Change

Still Standing

Nothing is stable in this ever-changing world as it races into a new world of rule. Sadly, many Christians blend with the world, believing God is changing. But God does NOT change! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever; what He said in the Scriptures is still Truth and fact today! Our hope and … Continue reading Still Standing

Stand Firm

Many Christians don't get answers to their prayers because they don't have faith. We're warned in Proverbs 3:5-6 that we must trust God and not rely on our understanding. Jesus says in Matthew 21:22 that if we believe, we will get what we ask for, and in Mark 9:23 confirms that all things are possible … Continue reading Stand Firm

Pray for Israel

Please join the thousands of Christians around the globe in prayer for Israel as we take one hour each day to pray and fast for them. We pray that God will protect His children there and give them the boldness and ability to rise up and share the Gospel with as many Jewish people as … Continue reading Pray for Israel

What Day is It?

Good morning; it's Monday! Not everyone enjoys Mondays, but regardless, it's a new day, and we woke up this morning. This is the day the Lord has made for you and me, and though many can't see it, it's a new day filled with new mercies, blessings, and hopes from God. The world puts us … Continue reading What Day is It?

A Privilege Called Grace

Many people enjoy being part of a social club. Often, they're accepted by invitation or someone paying for their membership. Each member serves the club by helping each other, and this feeling of privilege keeps the people united and the club successful. It's the same with Christianity. We accept the invitation and receive the membership … Continue reading A Privilege Called Grace

No Joy in Defeat

It's not easy staying positive or joyful amid personal problems or global issues that make us feel defeated. But as Christians, we don't focus on our problems; we look to Jesus, who defeated the problem-maker at the cross. We rejoice anyway because we know God is greater than our problems and has our future in … Continue reading No Joy in Defeat

Take it From the Top

Every new day brings new problems, both globally and personally. There's no place to go for help anymore because this chaotic world wants to keep us under its authority. But God! No one is higher or more powerful than our Lord! When we put our trust in Him, we can take refuge in His arms … Continue reading Take it From the Top

Character Transformation

Our character begins in the heart and is expressed through our words and actions. As Christians, our hearts changed from worldly to Godly when we accepted Jesus as our Savior, and as we study the Bible to know Him, our hearts and minds are transformed to be like His. Malachi 3:6 says that God does … Continue reading Character Transformation

What We Don’t Know

What we don't know won't hurt us? When it comes to our life and eternity, ignorance will kill us. God IS real! He loves us, became a man, died on the cross for our sins, and was raised from the grave to give us eternal life. God is patient and merciful and doesn't want anyone … Continue reading What We Don’t Know

Real Peace

Real peace does not come from anything this world offers. It's good at giving temporal peace through drugs, alcohol, and physical enjoyment, but our burdens are still there when that peace wears off. Real peace comes ONLY from knowing Jesus as our Savior and Lord! He has overcome the world and has our lives, our … Continue reading Real Peace

How to Win Over Our Enemies

Most of us know people that we dislike—a lot. We're a target for their anger, and we see them as enemies. But as Christians, we know there's only one enemy, the devil, and he has them in his grasp just as he had us before we knew Jesus. We must love them despite how they … Continue reading How to Win Over Our Enemies

Taste and See

Many suffer alone with their problems. The world can't help them, and they don't believe that God, even if He did exist, would help them. Even many Christians who've accepted Jesus as their Savior won't surrender their problems to God because they don't know Him and have no faith in Him. It's only by studying … Continue reading Taste and See

Doing it His Way

Becoming a Christian frees us from sin and redeems us to our Heavenly Father. It doesn't give us the authority to do God's work our way. We are saved through God's grace and filled with His Spirit, and when we submit to Him, God feeds us through the Scriptures and directs our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6) … Continue reading Doing it His Way

Hope Destroys Doubt

We often pray about something, tell God how to fix it, and wait for "our" solution and timing. When it doesn't happen, we doubt God—He didn't hear us, doesn't care about our problem, or can't fix it, either. We must learn to humble ourselves and STOP telling God what to do! Jesus is our Lord! … Continue reading Hope Destroys Doubt

Desires

God has given us many promises, and one is that He'll grant us the desires of our hearts if we delight ourselves in Him. However, He doesn't mean He'll become our genie and enrich us with OUR earthly desires. He means that if we have a relationship with Him, love Him, trust Him, serve Him, … Continue reading Desires

Training the Tongue

Many think becoming Christian means sinful habits will fall away, but that doesn't often happen. Our sins have been forgiven, but the body is used to this corrupt world and has to be retrained—and the tongue is often the greatest challenge. Old cuss words still want to roll out, so we must take control of … Continue reading Training the Tongue

The Joy of Success

Our greatest successes come when our hearts are in what we do. As Christians, we serve the Lord with our hearts, minds, and souls because we love Him. It's not a chore, and it's not limited to Sunday church worship. It's a daily, hourly, minute-by-minute state of heart that inspires us to do all we … Continue reading The Joy of Success

Today is For You and Me

God made today for you and me. We woke up this morning despite the world's chaos and personal problems. Some will think it's to enjoy their best life now, and others will be glad to have another day to live. But for Christians, it's another opportunity to share Christ's salvation message with the lost, whether … Continue reading Today is For You and Me
