Many Christians don't realize that God's grace is all we need to live. When Jesus died on the cross, He defeated sin and death and made way for us to be redeemed to God, so when we accept Him as our Savior and surrender our lives to Him, Jesus becomes our Lord who takes care … Continue reading Is Grace Enough?

You Have a Mansion
In this biased world, most of us can't own that little piece of Heaven here on earth. The excellent way of life is really only for the rich and famous. Yet, as Christians, we ARE the rich and famous.

Making my Way Perfect
It's incredible how we pray at times! We can't work out a situation on our own no matter what we do, so we pray and tell God how to do it. Praise God for His mercy! When we know Jesus as our Savior, we surrender to His authority, and He takes care of us. We … Continue reading Making my Way Perfect
Life IS Good
Sometimes, it's hard to see the good things in life. But as Christians, we must discipline ourselves to see the good because life IS good despite our surroundings.

Unique Talents
We all have unique talents. These are gifts from God, and whether great or small, they are all equally important.

As Christians, God expects us to … Continue reading Unique Talents

Our Choice: Anxiety or Peace
We don't choose our challenges in life, but we CAN choose how to handle them. When we're working on our own merits, and within this world's limits, we WILL experience anxiety and stress because the god of this world wants it that way. But when we give our issues to Jesus and TRUST Him—knowing that … Continue reading Our Choice: Anxiety or Peace
Giving Up is NOT an Option
Many of us face challenges and give up because defeat seems inevitable. As Christians, we pray for the salvation of family members and friends and for healing and needs to be met, but we don't see any change.

God is Faithful
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. In faith, we step into an elevator and trust that it won't fall, and we drive our cars and assume we'll arrive safely. Yet, when it comes to God, many of us have no faith in Him because we don't know … Continue reading God is Faithful
Why We Aren’t Consumed
God is Holy and hates sin, and if it weren't for His mercies, none of us would be alive today; sin would have destroyed us.

Even after we're … Continue reading Why We Aren’t Consumed

God is still in control, and this … Continue reading Freedom
Follow the Leader
Humility is not popular; striving for leadership positions and status is more satisfying. Yet, as Christians, we know that Jesus became the epimone of humility when He stepped down from His Heavenly throne to become a man who would be mocked, humiliated, beaten, disgraced, and killed on the cross for our sins. But He rose … Continue reading Follow the Leader
Privilege Brings Responsibility
Most of us live in privilege, but when we look beyond our comfort zone, we see many suffering without hope. While we snuggle in our cozy homes this winter, millions of people in Ukraine and other parts of Europe will suffer and die because they have no hydro, no heat, no food, and no hope. … Continue reading Privilege Brings Responsibility
