Christmas is coming and one way to share the joy of the season is through books that tell the story of Jesus. In this book, One Glorious Night, we see the glory in the night Jesus was born through the eyes of six different people. Each person tells their story as they saw it and … Continue reading The Perfect Christmas Gift
Life to Our Souls
Most people don't trust God because they don't know Him. But Jesus made way for us, and as Christians, we can draw close to Him when we study the Bible and let His words become life to our souls, spend time in prayer and worship, and praise Him for His love and faithfulness. God's ways … Continue reading Life to Our Souls
Whoever Means You!
Many think they are Christians because they read the Bible, accept what they've learned, and agree that Jesus is the Savior of the world. But knowledge does not save us. We must accept, believe, AND commit to Jesus to be Christian. John 3:16 says that Jesus died for EVERYONE and whoever believes IN Him (receives … Continue reading Whoever Means You!
Like a Glass of Water
We can view life like a glass of water—half full or half empty. When we focus on our problems and pains, we're overpowered by hopelessness and defeated by doubt. But when we see the good in life DESPITE our problems and pain, we have hope and joy. Jesus said we'd have tribulations in this life … Continue reading Like a Glass of Water
NO Excuse for Ignorance
Ignorance can have deadly consequences. When we stand before God one day, no excuse will save us from the sins we committed in ignorance. God gave us His Word—the Bible—to study and KNOW right from wrong. As Christians, we can't assume that if other Christians compromise His Word, it's okay because it's NOT. We must … Continue reading NO Excuse for Ignorance
A Thankful Heart
We have so much to be thankful for, and most don't even realize it. Though we are surrounded by chaos and unrest, we still live in a free country and are blessed by God. As Christians, we can look back and see that throughout the year, God has been there for us, blessed us, helped … Continue reading A Thankful Heart
Our Accomplishments
We're all proud of the things we've accomplished. Some took years of education and training; others took perseverance and faith to get through the rough times. But we can't get puffed up in our own glory because it was God who created each of us and blessed us with our successes. Regardless of our accomplishments, … Continue reading Our Accomplishments
Opinion or Truth
Today, the benchmark of "truth" is being replaced by personal opinion. Many aggressively defend their right to choose their own truth, and some Christians get caught in the hype and argue with them. But God never told us to argue with a fool: He told us to PEACEFULLY preach the gospel. His Truth is precious, … Continue reading Opinion or Truth
How to Walk
The Bible is filled with promises of things God will do for those who love and trust Him. But sometimes, when we encounter problems, it's hard to ignore them (that we DO see) and trust God (who we DON'T see.) So we must study the Bible to know God and His Words for us and … Continue reading How to Walk
Today is the Day
The Lord has created this day for us. And though the devil is set to steal, kill, and destroy it, when we focus on what Jesus did for us at the cross, what He is doing now, and what He will do for us in the future, we rejoice because, in Him, we have the … Continue reading Today is the Day
Things are About to Change
We're surrounded by wars, increased crime, horrible viruses, and irregular natural disasters—and it's getting worse every day. But it's all going to end soon because Jesus is getting ready to return and take back His world. He won't come as a humble lamb but as a mighty lion, King over all the earth. It sounds … Continue reading Things are About to Change
Rise Up!
It's easy at times to get discouraged and give up. But as Christians, that's NOT an option because God told us to cast our cares onto Him, that nothing is impossible to Him, and that whatever we ask in prayer believing, we shall receive. When we spend time in prayer and worship, our strength is … Continue reading Rise Up!
New Desires
Many people misunderstand "God's blessings" and assume He'll grant their desires for earthly riches and success. But being a Christian is not about God serving us; it's about us serving God. When we turn from the world to follow Jesus and study the Bible to know Him AND His ways, our hearts change to be … Continue reading New Desires
What Stands Forever?
Our world is filled with diverse religions because we have separated ourselves from the God of Heaven and created false gods to appease our selfish desires and lusts. But—there is ONLY one God, and He does NOT change or compromise His integrity. The Scriptures are His words for us, and we have ZERO authority to … Continue reading What Stands Forever?
We Can Do It
As Christians, we know God is faithful and will never put us in a situation and leave us to work on our own. When we study the Bible to know Him and His Word and spend time in prayer and worship, we develop a relationship with Jesus, and our faith and hope are in Him. … Continue reading We Can Do It
The Sting of Unforgiveness
Betrayal hurts, and anger and hatred grow when emotions take control. When Jesus died on that cross for our sins, HE FORGAVE US and continues to forgive us even though we don't deserve it. The person who hurt us might not care and may do it again, but we forgive them anyway because we can't … Continue reading The Sting of Unforgiveness
You’re Not Alone
Loneliness is horrible, and many suffer from it. When our world changes because we lose a loved one, have to move away, or choose to not follow the world, life can become lonely. Yet, as Christians, we shouldn't feel alone because we are NOT alone. We have Jesus, our devoted and faithful FRIEND, and regardless … Continue reading You’re Not Alone
Too Many Lords
In today's world, professionals have become lords over our lives. But as Christians, we no longer belong to this world, and there's no one greater, wiser, or more capable of taking care of us than God. He's promised that when we love Him, obey His Word, and do what is right, He'll take care of … Continue reading Too Many Lords
We Don’t Need to Suffer
Many of us suffer because we don't have the strength or wisdom to fight the enemy who strives to defeat us. But Jesus made a way where there is no way, and as Christians, we must humble ourselves before God and admit that we can't do it on our own and that we NEED Him. … Continue reading We Don’t Need to Suffer
Patience is a Virtue
We live in a world of instant access, high ego, and little patience. Many Christians believe that God should also answer prayers immediately—and their way. But when we answered God's call to salvation, we surrendered to Jesus, our Lord, and must study the Scriptures to know Him, obey His Word, and fulfill that calling. God … Continue reading Patience is a Virtue
Smile, God Loves You!
