This world is changing; people are self-indulged, impatient, and short on love and forgiveness. We don't know who to trust anymore. But God—He never changes! His love never ceases, and His mercies are new every morning. His Words are true, and what He said in the Bible still stands today. Judgment is coming, and God … Continue reading Change
Thankful for Our Problems?
Why thank God for our problems? Because we know God is GREATER than the god of this world, and nothing can come against us unless God allows it. And if He allows it, He'll bring us through it. Some things happen because God is teaching us something; others result from living in a corrupt world. … Continue reading Thankful for Our Problems?
Commitment
Many agree that Jesus died on the cross for their sins and rose to Heaven. They have the knowledge but are NOT Christians. John 3:16 says Jesus died for everyone, but we must believe IN Him—not about Him. We become Christians when we realize that WE are sinners and need a Savior—Jesus—and ask Him to … Continue reading Commitment
The Perfect Way
Some days, we fail at almost everything we try to do because we have no power within ourselves to succeed through the evil around us. Let's remember, though, that as Christians, Jesus is OUR Lord! We rise each morning, praise Him for His love, and ask Him to lead us and be glorified in all … Continue reading The Perfect Way
Hate is Not an Option
We all know people whose goal in life is to break us. They mock us, gossip about us, and go out of their way to anger us. We begin to hate them until we see things through God's eyes and remember that before we knew Jesus, we did these things to God, and He didn't … Continue reading Hate is Not an Option
You Can’t Buy Faith
To all Christians who think they can buy God's blessings, have faith dumped on them, or instantly gain wisdom and riches, you can't! You can't buy, earn, or assume His blessings because they are given by God to those who love and follow Him and put their faith and trust in Him. And you can … Continue reading You Can’t Buy Faith
A Prayer Away
Fear is like a cloud that casts a shadow, causing anxiety and stress for the unknown. Whether personal issues or the world's chaos, it can slowly chop away at the joy we should have in life. The good news? Jesus! He is God and has overcome the world! Nothing is impossible to Him, and no … Continue reading A Prayer Away
Being Grateful
Finding a positive direction is difficult when we focus only on the negative around us. As Christians, we have more to thank God for than we'll ever know until we reach Heaven because now, we only see with our visible eyes. It's then that we'll fully grasp how brutal and barbaric Jesus' torture was when … Continue reading Being Grateful
Doing the Impossible
Some situations are impossible for us to fix or change. When loved ones are caught up in the evils of this world, they are destroyed, and there's nothing we can do about it. But God! Nothing is impossible to God, and when we pray fervently according to His will, He hears and answers us. God … Continue reading Doing the Impossible
Overcoming Hardships
We all suffer hardships in this corrupt world. Yet, as Christians, we CAN rejoice in the midst of them because Jesus watches over us and helps us. God told us to pray about everything and trust Him to get us through our problems, and though we may suffer a little, we know that all things … Continue reading Overcoming Hardships
How to Succeed
Many people succeed in this world because they are knowledgeable and wise. As Christians, many of us are destroyed because of a lack of wisdom, giving way for the world to win over us (Hosea 4:6). But as God's children, He wants us to be filled with knowledge and wisdom, so we must study the … Continue reading How to Succeed
A Great Morning Booster
This evil world closes in on us the second we wake up. Coffee is a great booster for the body, but as Christians, we must feed our souls first! So, we thank God for the day, ask for His blessings on everything we say, do, and think, and then submit to His will and leadership. … Continue reading A Great Morning Booster
What is Your Heart’s Desire?
What is your heart's desire—your career, material possessions, social status? As Christians, it's knowing God and doing His will. He may still give us all these things, but our focus is getting His salvation message out to the lost. We love the Lord and praise Him for being our Savior, and He hears and answers … Continue reading What is Your Heart’s Desire?
Prepare for Battle
Many fight daily with health issues, finances, identity, or personal relationships. We think that as Christians we shouldn't have these problems, but Jesus said in John 16:33 that we WOULD have problems, and we're told in Ephesians 6:10-17 to put on the whole armor of God to fight them. Our armor is the Word of … Continue reading Prepare for Battle
How to Survive
We used to be strong-minded people, forging life paths for future generations. But in this changing world, we've become defensive, fighting to survive and keep our rights. Yet, as Christians, we can live quality lives because God never changes His love, plans, purpose, or future for us; He hears and answers our prayers despite the … Continue reading How to Survive
How to Bake a Cake
If we don't know how to bake a cake, we'd find a good recipe, study it, and follow its instructions. In the same way, if we don't know how to be a Christian, we must go to the book that teaches us—the Bible—so we can know God and submit to His instructions. As we continue … Continue reading How to Bake a Cake
Two Paths
Two paths lead to God when we leave this world—but only ONE gets us into Heaven. We will all stand before Christ, either as believers whose sins are washed away through the salvation of Jesus or as sinners to face eternal judgment. God loves us—John 3:16—and doesn't want anyone to perish, but Heaven is pure … Continue reading Two Paths
Doing What We’re Called to Do
Christians are Christ's disciples, called to share His Gospel with the lost so they can be freed from this world. We must refrain from debating moot points with the brethren or arguing what sin is with the world. We're not called to criticize or accuse; we're called to be like Jesus, to walk, talk, and … Continue reading Doing What We’re Called to Do
The World Doesn’t Know
People of the world don't understand why Christians go to church and sing to the Lord. Nor do they accept our principles and values or our need to pray. But as Christians, we know that Jesus is the Savior, the Son of God, who paid the punishment for our sins with His own blood and … Continue reading The World Doesn’t Know
Power to The Faint
The world is becoming a place of hopelessness. But as Christians, we rejoice because this is not our world—we belong to God; our citizenship is in Heaven. When problems come, we pray about them and then fight them with the Sword of the Spirit—the Bible! So, we need to study it fervently because when we're … Continue reading Power to The Faint
