Sometimes, we all need a friend who will love, help, and correct us without condemning us because of our problems. Wordly friends love us conditionally and often leave us alone in our greatest time of need. But there is a Friend who will love us despite the situation, help as no other can, and never … Continue reading We All Need a Friend
Facing Fear
Many people suffer from fear. They appear heroic, but inside, they are trembling with absolute anxiety. As Christians, fear isn't part of our lives—our hope and faith are in Jesus, who defeated the one who thrives on our fear! God's Spirit lives in us, and it says in 1 John 4:4 that He is greater … Continue reading Facing Fear
A Calm Heart
Nothing in this world calms the heart like the peace of God! Many depend on drugs, alcohol, money, or fleshly desires to help them through their problems, but there's no peace, just temporary relief. But, when we give our problems to God and TRUST HIM with them, Jesus pours His peace upon us and calms … Continue reading A Calm Heart
Don’t Suffer Alone
Many Christians suffer through their problems alone. God is ready to help, but they won't ask Him because they either don't want to "bother" Him or assume He won't help. We must study the Bible to know God and fill up with His knowledge and wisdom. We are His children, and when problems come (big … Continue reading Don’t Suffer Alone
Grounded in Love
Today, any church that talks about God is called Christian. Desires and lifestyles are accepted above God's Truth, causing many to think they're Christians when they're not. To be Christian, we must repent of our sins, give our hearts to Jesus, and study the Bible so we can follow Him. When Christ dwells in our … Continue reading Grounded in Love
It’s Who We Know
The world can't give us peace in times of trouble because it's the cause of all of our problems. But Jesus can give us His peace beyond all imagination and understanding. When we know Him as our Savior, Jesus cleanses us from the weight of sin and gives us new hope in life. He gives … Continue reading It’s Who We Know
Be Happy
We CAN have problems and still be happy! The issues concern us; not being able to fix them bothers us, and knowing they could ruin us scares us. But when we give them to the Lord and TRUST Him to take care of them, we are happy because NOTHING is impossible to God, and ALL … Continue reading Be Happy
Happy Mother’s Day!
Raising children is a noble task for a woman, despite what most believe in this modern world. Motherhood is truly a great and honorable position. It's not easy at times, and we spend years teaching, admonishing, pleading with God, and shedding tears of sorrow. But God is faithful, and when we know and trust Him, … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day!
The Proverbial Glass
We often view life as a proverbial glass of water, half full or half empty. We can focus on the negative things in life and glorify the world for them, OR we can look beyond our problems to the good things in our lives and give God all the glory. As Christians, our hope and … Continue reading The Proverbial Glass
The Toughest Battle
We get stressed when we can't get answers to our problems. As Christians, Jesus told us to give HIM our problems, and He'd take care of them—1 Peter 5:7. When we obey God, we'll have peace, and things around us will fall into place because God is faithful to His Word. Sometimes though, the toughest … Continue reading The Toughest Battle
The Big Change
It's acceptable today for Christians to dress, act, and speak as they did before they converted. But—this deception will keep them from Heaven! Why? Because if we really ARE saved, Jesus becomes our Savior AND Lord, and our hearts are changed. We no longer belong to this world: we belong to God. His Spirit lives … Continue reading The Big Change
Still Standing
Nothing is stable in this ever-changing world as it races into a new world of rule. Sadly, many Christians blend with the world, believing God is changing. But God does NOT change! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever; what He said in the Scriptures is still Truth and fact today! Our hope and … Continue reading Still Standing
Stand Firm
Many Christians don't get answers to their prayers because they don't have faith. We're warned in Proverbs 3:5-6 that we must trust God and not rely on our understanding. Jesus says in Matthew 21:22 that if we believe, we will get what we ask for, and in Mark 9:23 confirms that all things are possible … Continue reading Stand Firm
Pray for Israel
Please join the thousands of Christians around the globe in prayer for Israel as we take one hour each day to pray and fast for them. We pray that God will protect His children there and give them the boldness and ability to rise up and share the Gospel with as many Jewish people as … Continue reading Pray for Israel
What Day is It?
Good morning; it's Monday! Not everyone enjoys Mondays, but regardless, it's a new day, and we woke up this morning. This is the day the Lord has made for you and me, and though many can't see it, it's a new day filled with new mercies, blessings, and hopes from God. The world puts us … Continue reading What Day is It?
A Privilege Called Grace
Many people enjoy being part of a social club. Often, they're accepted by invitation or someone paying for their membership. Each member serves the club by helping each other, and this feeling of privilege keeps the people united and the club successful. It's the same with Christianity. We accept the invitation and receive the membership … Continue reading A Privilege Called Grace
No Joy in Defeat
It's not easy staying positive or joyful amid personal problems or global issues that make us feel defeated. But as Christians, we don't focus on our problems; we look to Jesus, who defeated the problem-maker at the cross. We rejoice anyway because we know God is greater than our problems and has our future in … Continue reading No Joy in Defeat
Take it From the Top
Every new day brings new problems, both globally and personally. There's no place to go for help anymore because this chaotic world wants to keep us under its authority. But God! No one is higher or more powerful than our Lord! When we put our trust in Him, we can take refuge in His arms … Continue reading Take it From the Top
Character Transformation
Our character begins in the heart and is expressed through our words and actions. As Christians, our hearts changed from worldly to Godly when we accepted Jesus as our Savior, and as we study the Bible to know Him, our hearts and minds are transformed to be like His. Malachi 3:6 says that God does … Continue reading Character Transformation
What We Don’t Know
What we don't know won't hurt us? When it comes to our life and eternity, ignorance will kill us. God IS real! He loves us, became a man, died on the cross for our sins, and was raised from the grave to give us eternal life. God is patient and merciful and doesn't want anyone … Continue reading What We Don’t Know
