Life is precious! It's eternal, and the onus is on us where we end up (Philippians 2:12). Sadly, false teachers deceive many into thinking their doctrine will get us to Heaven, but Jesus is the ONLY way. We must study the Scriptures to know the Truth because Christianity is personal; it's about accepting Jesus as … Continue reading It’s Personal
What is Love?
Love is not lust or emotion. The Bible says that God is love, and He demonstrated His love for us when He came to earth as a man to take on our sins at the cross. Despite what we'd become, Jesus suffered the punishment WE deserved for our sins! And all so we could be … Continue reading What is Love?
Why do We do What We do?
People like to be recognized for their accomplishments, so rewards are offered as incentives. And sadly, many good deeds are done solely for recognition and praise. As Christians, we don't want the world's praise; we answer to God and want to please Him. Everything we do should be according to His will and for His … Continue reading Why do We do What We do?
The Road to Victory
The road to victory begins with thanking God for His love, mercy, and unseen blessings.

Whatever we face today, let's not get down on … Continue reading The Road to Victory
Happy Birthday to Me!
I used to think that growing old would be horrible, but not anymore. Now, with each birthday, I am truly grateful that I am still here and able to give God thanks for all He's done for me. Twelve years ago, the world gave me five months to live, but here I am, still praising … Continue reading Happy Birthday to Me!
The Great One
There are only two spiritual entities: good and evil. Good is God, Creator of everything, including the angels. Evil is Satan, a fallen angel who rebelled against the good to destroy it. Satan is NOT God's counterpart; he is NOT God's equal. God is eternal; Satan has a beginning and an end. God is all-powerful; … Continue reading The Great One
Weakness Isn’t an Option
Some problems leave us too weak to fight. The devil wants to destroy us through finances, relationships, employment, health issues, and even family, and we canNOT fight him on our own merits. BUT, as Christians, we know Jesus already defeated that devil at the cross, and HE will fight our battles for us through His … Continue reading Weakness Isn’t an Option
A Friend for Life
There are times when we need a friend to talk to. Someone who will listen, have compassion, and offer sound advice with love. Someone who won't criticize us for the blunders we made or mock us for the mess we're in. Someone who has the power and ability to fix it all and tell us … Continue reading A Friend for Life
It’s Father Nature!

It is NOT Mother Nature, the … Continue reading It’s Father Nature!
Follow the Leader
Who do you follow? New age "Christianity" modifies the Bible to suit its own agenda; it's a false religion stealing God's Truth from many new believers. But real Christians know the Truth and don't want to be like people; we want to be like Jesus! God wants us to study the Holy Bible because it's … Continue reading Follow the Leader
The Dress Code
In this modern "anything goes" world, Christians cannot dress as if they are still part of it. We've come out of the world and belong to God now; our bodies are HIS temple! We should be decent in our attire, not revealing or provoking sexual desire and not flaunting a mirage of facial piercings. Apostle … Continue reading The Dress Code
The Mirror
Christians are forgiven—not perfect! We've all sinned, but when we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are set free from sin and destined for Heaven. And while we're still here, waiting for Jesus to call us Home, our lives can testify to His saving grace and mercy through our actions and words. And if we … Continue reading The Mirror
Prayers Are Our Lifeline
People ask, "Why doesn't God answer my prayer?" God hears and answers our prayers when we know Jesus because His Spirit lives in us and takes our prayers to Jesus, who intercedes on our behalf. Our prayers are our lifeline to our Heavenly Father, who wants to communicate with us, so we should talk to … Continue reading Prayers Are Our Lifeline
Tough Challenges
Sometimes, we get discouraged and want to give up when a challenge seems impossible. And it likely is on our own strength—but God! As Christians, God is with us in our daily walk and when we're helping, sharing, caring, and giving to others. He won't give us anything we can't handle (1 Cor. 10:13). So … Continue reading Tough Challenges
Checking Our Attitude
Our opinion about others can affect our attitude when we greet them. We can be friendly or arrogant, passive or judgmental. But the Bible says, as God's children, we must treat others as we want to be treated. It's not our place to judge anyone or treat them badly, but to love them and show … Continue reading Checking Our Attitude
The Countdown: Jesus is Alive!
As much as the Pharisees hated Jesus, they also feared His followers. So, they had the Romans post guards around the tomb just in case the disciples stole His body at night and said He had risen. But when the women went to the tomb the day after Sabbath to prepare His body for burial, … Continue reading The Countdown: Jesus is Alive!
The Countdown: Day 1
The day following Jesus's devastating crucifixion was bittersweet. While the Pharisees, religious leaders, and many dillusioned people gloated over their perceived victory, the disciples were crushed, their hopes shattered, and their hearts aching for Jesus. On the hill of Calvary, Jesus had been crucified on a cross between two thieves, one of whom knew Jesus … Continue reading The Countdown: Day 1
Book of Opinions
Opinions about God stem from ignorance and personal desire. They cause stress, and encourage anger and division. Truth is sound, never changes, fills us with wisdom, brings us close to Jesus, and is the same for everyone. The Bible is the book of Truth; it's God speaking to us through inspired writers—and there's no Book … Continue reading Book of Opinions
Countdown: Day 2
IT IS FINISHED! Judas had walked with Jesus, knew He was no ordinary man, but for the love of money, sold Him to the Pharisees to be killed. When he realized he'd betrayed an innocent man, Judas returned the money and then hung himself. Pilate saw that he couldn't win over the angry crowd, so … Continue reading Countdown: Day 2
