Our first reaction to an unexpected problem is often negative because we think we know what the end result will be. But if we give it to God and TRUST Him with it, we'll see that God may have allowed it to happen to give us a BETTER end result. When we give our burdens … Continue reading A Better End
Battle of the Wills
There's a great barrier between our will and God's will. Sometimes, as Christians, we forget that Jesus is Lord over us, leads us and takes care of us, AND fights our battles for us--HIS way. When we stop trying to do things our way and instead, submit to His will and put our faith and … Continue reading Battle of the Wills
When Things Go Wrong
Sometimes, we'll rise early in the morning with great expectations for the day...and then it seems as if everything goes wrong. This is when we have to remember that God is greater than our problems, and thank Him for His love and mercy and praise Him anyway! God is good! If you're not following us … Continue reading When Things Go Wrong
Controlling Our Thoughts
Our emotions get us in trouble when our minds give in to their hostile cries. As Christians, we must study the Bible to fill our minds with God's Truth and then commit to thinking only about things that give Him glory. We'll see beyond this negative world and on to what He has prepared for … Continue reading Controlling Our Thoughts
I Love You Because
In the Old Testament, God commanded people to love Him to keep them from worshiping idols and missing His love and mercy. Then came our salvation! Now, when we make Jesus our Savior, we're redeemed back to God and filled with HIS Spirit, who teaches us all Truth as we study the Bible. We don't … Continue reading I Love You Because
Caught in the Storm
The chaos of this world often makes us feel like we're caught in a storm with no way out. The ones who seem to know it all continue to distress many with their adverse reports, filling them with fear and subjecting them to their control. Yet, as Christians, fear is not an option because our … Continue reading Caught in the Storm
We Are What We Say
Our words define who we are in our hearts. As Christians, we are God's ambassadors on this earth, and what we say reflects how others see Him. It's easy to get caught up in gossip and believe we're just sharing information, and it's equally destructive to speak badly and judge someone for what we think … Continue reading We Are What We Say
We’re NOT Alone
Sometimes we feel alone in this busy world. As Christians, our values are different from the world's, so it's hard to blend in, and taking a stand for what's right according to God's laws can isolate us even more. But we are NOT alone! Jesus promised He'd never leave us, and our Father will always … Continue reading We’re NOT Alone
Arguing Bible Principles
The new Christian faith comprises many diverse interpretations of Scripture. However, there's only one way to be a Christian—follow Jesus, study the Scriptures, and let God's Spirit interpret His Truth. Sadly, many real Christians argue Bible principles with those deceived to get them to change, creating contention and pushing them further into deception. As God's … Continue reading Arguing Bible Principles
Light on the Path
It's a challenge at times to survive the chaos and unrest of this world. But as Christians, we don't need to stumble in the darkness and get hurt because God has given us His Light—Jesus! When we study the Bible to know God and His Word, we learn all He wants us to know about … Continue reading Light on the Path
A Choice to Study
When choosing a career, we must study to learn and gain wisdom so we can confidently excel in our profession. This also applies to being a Christian. We've made our choice; now we must study the Scriptures to be filled with knowledge and wisdom and do what God's called us to do. The more we … Continue reading A Choice to Study
Closer Than You Think
If you or someone you know is hurting, going through a bad time, or unhappy in life, call out to God! He is real, and He loves you. He sees what you're going through and wants to help. You don't have to suffer alone; give your problems to God and watch what He does with … Continue reading Closer Than You Think
The Virtue of Patience
Impatience can turn us into our own worst enemies. Traffic rush hour is a good example. Some people can't sit and wait patiently for things to get moving; they have to push forward and create a bigger disaster. We can be like this with our prayers, too. We expect God to answer immediately; when He … Continue reading The Virtue of Patience
Tears of Love
Do you know how much God loves you? Our Heavenly Father hurts daily because His children prefer sin over His love. God became a man and died for our sins so we could be free to live with Him forever. And Jesus suffered severely on that cross, brutally beaten and crucified for us—He loves us … Continue reading Tears of Love
Changes Bring Fear
This world's system is changing God's laws into politically and socially correct rules, creating chaos and forcing many to fear the future. But for us who know Jesus, we're at peace and look forward to the future because we know God does NOT change—not His laws, His promises, OR His judgments. We know He's coming … Continue reading Changes Bring Fear
Where to Run!
Contrary to popular belief, the lord of this world is NOT equal to Almighty God. He's an angel created by God, who rebelled against God, and has a beginning and an end. God is our Eternal Creator and Lord of all—and He's our Refuge in times of trouble. The devil lives to attack us, and … Continue reading Where to Run!
Sharing the Treasure
We all have things dear to our hearts that we defend and even boast about. These "treasures" give us the incentive to live each day with purpose, but they'll eventually wear out if they are earthly. When we make Jesus our treasure, our focus changes from "me" to "God" as He teaches us all Truth … Continue reading Sharing the Treasure
Pure Love
People see God differently. To some, He's here to make them rich; to others, He's a tyrant they don't want to know. Few know that God is Love. He created us to have a relationship with us, and when sin entered, He gave us His laws (Ten Commandments), so we could follow Him and not … Continue reading Pure Love
Be Still!
Most people don't know God because sin separates them from Him, yet, He still loves them. He gave His own Son to die on the cross for their sins so they could be free, but most won't accept it. But they can get a glimpse of God's love through the glory He gets when helping … Continue reading Be Still!
Faith in Who?
Many Christians say they have faith. Yet, they don't study their Bibles to know God and think that "confessing" their faith gives them the power to get things from God. But Christian faith isn't instant when we get saved; it comes by studying the Bible and building a relationship with Jesus. It's knowing who God … Continue reading Faith in Who?
Smile, God Loves You!
