Words have a lot of power, as does the way we use them! We can speak harsh words that stir up hostility or encouraging words that bring hope. It's not our place to judge or harshly correct someone because of what we see, as we're not always privy to their inner suffering, ongoing pain, or … Continue reading Words of Hope or Hostility!
How Can We Pay Our Debt?
We can NEVER repay Jesus for sacrificing His life to pay our debt of sin. His love for us is so great that He left His throne in Heaven, became a man, died on the cross, suffered the punishment of hell in our place, and then rose from the grave, giving us eternal life with … Continue reading How Can We Pay Our Debt?
Turn Worry into Trust!
Waiting can be stressful. Students wait anxiously for project scores, patients wait sheepishly for test results, and many more wait hopefully for answers to daily problems. Waiting can be stressful because the enemy uses the time to torment our minds with doubt and fear, discouraging us from trusting the Lord. We must focus on God … Continue reading Turn Worry into Trust!
Who Do We Trust?
Deception is the norm in this dark, evil world, so who can we trust? Most people defend the corrupt media because it promotes the evil agenda they support, causing even Christians to be fearful. This is why we must read our Bibles daily and get God's Word rooted in our hearts and minds, so we … Continue reading Who Do We Trust?
Walking the Dark Valley
Walking through the dark valleys in our lives can make us feel alone and afraid. But as Christians, we have Jesus, our Shepherd, who watches over and protects us, and never leaves us. Like earthly shepherds, He uses a rod, which is a short, heavy club, to defend us, His sheep, from predators, as well … Continue reading Walking the Dark Valley
Facing Reality!
As Christians, we must NEVER forget who Jesus is and who we are in Him! We are living in the days Jesus spoke of, when all hell would break loose, and we'd be waiting for His call to go Home. It's no longer a fanatic's point of view; it's reality. The Great Tribulation is almost … Continue reading Facing Reality!
Stay Positive and Rejoice!
This dark world will steal our joy, destroy our hope, and keep us in bondage if we let it. But when we focus on Jesus and what He's done, is doing, and will do, we are positive and hopeful. Jesus said we'd have problems because this evil world hates the God we serve, and He's … Continue reading Stay Positive and Rejoice!
The Curse of Rejection
God doesn't reject us; we reject Him. John 3:16 says that God "loved the world" (every person He's created), and "gave His only begotten Son," to take on our sins and suffer the punishment for them. It also says that "WHOEVER believes in Him" (accepts His sacrifice as the atonement for our sins) "would NOT … Continue reading The Curse of Rejection
The Great Overcomer!
Oxford Dictionary defines "lord" as someone or something with power, authority, or influence; a master or ruler. Satan lords over the people of this world, orchestrating his own laws and controlling their thoughts and actions. But Jesus, God's Son, defeated the devil when He died on the cross and then rose back to life. When … Continue reading The Great Overcomer!
Worry About Tomorrow!
The world programs us to live for tomorrow, so we often worry about situations we'll face then and miss what God has given us today. But if we knew that today was our last day, would we want to spend it frustrated and worrying about things that haven't happened yet, or be productive Christians and … Continue reading Worry About Tomorrow!
Faithful Servant
Every child of God is equal in His eyes! However, the responsibility He gives each of us varies because He sees the big picture and chooses certain people for specific jobs. Despite what He calls us to do, we must do it with a heart of joy and servitude because, whether we're fighting on the … Continue reading Faithful Servant
Surrender and Trust!
God gave us the Bible so we can know Him and have it as our guide for life. Though written by men, EVERY word is inspired by God! Every prophecy to date has come to pass, exactly as foretold. God does NOT change. His Word does NOT change. He is the same today as He … Continue reading Surrender and Trust!
The Perfect Way
Tribulations are part of a Christian's life. The details are different, but the pain and anxiety are the same, and Jesus is our ONLY hope! He leads us in the way He wants us to go, but sometimes we think God is unfair and blame Him for our sorrows, for allowing certain situations. We forget … Continue reading The Perfect Way
Why We Live!
Life is not limited to the years we have on earth. God created us to live forever, but when sin corrupted our world, the location of our eternal home became dependent on our acceptance of Christ's salvation to pardon our sins now. When Jesus is our Savior, we no longer belong to this world; we … Continue reading Why We Live!
Love, Don’t Judge!
Have you ever met up with another Christian and secretly judged them because of their appearance? We forget that many are suffering from things we're not aware of. So, instead of judging them, God wants us to love them as He does and show them His grace and mercy, so we help and encourage them. … Continue reading Love, Don’t Judge!
No Excuse!
There is NO excuse for any Christian to be misled in this evil, corrupt world. God gave us His Word so we can know Him, develop a trusting relationship with Jesus, and live according to His will. Yet, Satan is misleading millions of so-called Christians because they don't read their Bibles to discern his lies … Continue reading No Excuse!
The Greatest Treasure!
Many of us collect things. Some have great material value; others are merely sentimental reminders of times past. Yet, when we die, we can't take any of it with us, and those who receive our treasures often don't see them for anything beyond the monetary value they provide. The things of this world will die … Continue reading The Greatest Treasure!
The Wrath of an Angry God!
This evil world is spiraling into sin and corruption, just as the prophets foretold. It's about to experience the wrath of an angry God, and nothing we can imagine will be as horrifying as what actually lies ahead for those who refuse to come out of their sin and receive Jesus as their Savior. But … Continue reading The Wrath of an Angry God!
The Love We Share!
False Christians distort the Bible for their own glory. But as true Christians—born-again believers—we want to glorify God in all we say and do. We want to study the Bible and fill our hearts and minds with God's Truth! We want to love, teach, and encourage each other, and to love the lost as Jesus … Continue reading The Love We Share!
Can You Imagine?
Can you imagine the heartwrenching pain Mary endured, watching her son being nailed to the cross for walking in love and speaking the truth? Can you imagine the silence in Heaven when God's Son was brutally beaten and crucified by mockers because they wouldn't accept that He'd come to save them? But can you also … Continue reading Can You Imagine?
Smile, God Loves You!
