When we look back at all the things we thought we needed for a successful and happy life, we see most of it was vanity. Our needs and desires change as we get older, especially when our eyes and hearts focus on Jesus. God's grace is all we need to enjoy life and tell others … Continue reading Abundant Supply
About Our Problems
One of the hardest things to do as a Christian is to seriously give our burdens to the Lord. Something inside us says, "I can do this," but sadly when the devil is the one pulling the strings, we will NEVER do it. We have to realize that Jesus IS God, our Savior, the One … Continue reading About Our Problems
Life or Death
When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they put us on the course for death—eternal separation from God. When our physical bodies die, our soul returns to God (Ecclesiastes 12:7) to be judged, and because of our sinful nature, we're all destined for a dark eternal separation from Him. But Jesus came and died on the … Continue reading Life or Death
Looking Beyond
As Christians, our sins have been forgiven, and we have an eternal Home in Heaven with Jesus. But for today, we have to live in this corrupt world, and that's not always easy when we are living in pain or hardship. This is why we have to look beyond our own issues, see what Jesus … Continue reading Looking Beyond
Focus on the Good
Many of us will look back on this past week and wonder how we ever made it! Well, we made it because of God! When we put our hope and trust in Him, God DOES bring us through our trials. So let's greet this new day with hope and focus on the goodness of God … Continue reading Focus on the Good
The Lord is Good
When God created the world in perfection, His plan was for us to be with Him forever. But Satan corrupted God's world through deception, and his plan is to kill, steal, and destroy us before his time runs out. But God is good, and His plan for redemption continues. God abounds in patience, overflows in … Continue reading The Lord is Good
A Good Father
It's hard for many to realize God's love for people. They see Him as harsh and demanding because they don't know Him and won't accept that their sin separates them from God. John 3:16 says that God loved us so much that He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins so we … Continue reading A Good Father
Give Them Hope
We live in the time the prophets foretold when the majority of the world would rebuke God's presence and follow the global agenda of one-world order. Yet, there are still many people looking for answers and for some kind of hope through it all—and as Christians, we are here to give them that hope. We … Continue reading Give Them Hope
It’s Who We Know
None of us can come to God in prayer on our own, hoping that He'll answer because the sin in us separates us from Him. BUT when we accept Jesus as our Savior, He frees us from all sin and redeems us back to God, our Father, and fills us with His righteousness. Then we … Continue reading It’s Who We Know
In the Eye of the Beholder
The beauty of the day is in the eye of the beholder. Some of us will face stressful situations today, but we can still have a good day. As Christians, we know that Jesus told us these things would happen because we live in an evil world. But when we pray about them and put … Continue reading In the Eye of the Beholder
Happy Mother’s Day
A mother's job lasts a lifetime, and it comes with many joys and sorrows and endless responsibilities. She loves her children (Isaiah 49:15) and is a comfort to her family (Isaiah 66:13). She's clothed in strength and dignity (Proverbs 31:25), and teaches her children about God (Deuteronomy 6:6–7). They call her blessed and her husband … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day
What a Promise!
No one knows the freedom and the joy of being a Christian until they repent and receive Jesus as their Savior. We're not only forgiven for all of our sins and promised an eternal home in Heaven, but we have God's full attention and protection while we're here on earth. He has promised that He'd … Continue reading What a Promise!
Rewarding our Motives
People work towards their own goals and earthly rewards for their labor in this world. But as Christians, we labor for Jesus and tell others about His love and salvation because we love Him and want them to know Him. Often, we won't see the results of our labor while we're here, but when we … Continue reading Rewarding our Motives
Wisdom
The people of this world are wise in their ways (Luke 16:8) and depend on specialists for everything in life. Although they might not like it, they accept the diagnosis and suffer through whatever prognosis is enforced. But as Christians, God wants us to be wise as serpents (Matthew 10:16), and He wants us to … Continue reading Wisdom
When Life Begins
Many hear the salvation message but reject it because they aren't willing to give up the life they've made for themselves here on earth to follow God. It's like the rich man in Matthew 19:16-22 who spoke with Jesus and agreed with Him but cherished his life and wasn't willing to change or give up … Continue reading When Life Begins
How to Beat Deception
They're deceived by new doctrines that change God's laws, deny His holiness, and affirm all the benefits of Christ, including Heaven. Sadly, they won't get to Heaven because they don't know Jesus and still carry their sins. But we don't need to be deceived because God has given us the Bible to keep us from … Continue reading How to Beat Deception
Look Beyond
It's hard to find hope when the world around us says there is none. But with God, there IS hope. God does not change, and He is not a man that He would lie. His promises and warnings are as effective today as when He spoke them. When we pray for God's help, we have … Continue reading Look Beyond
Assurance
Many of us are filled with hope and joy because we know Jesus as our Lord and Savior. But many others suffer and are brokenhearted because they either don't know Jesus as their Savior or have accepted His salvation but don't realize that He will help them when they ask. As Christians, let's pray for … Continue reading Assurance
Who is Your Model?
Many Christians choose to follow a famous Christian leader or "so-called" female pastor and adapt to their doctrines and lifestyle. But as Christians, we should follow, imitate, and promote only JESUS! He is our Savior—BUT He's also our Lord! We are to commit to HIS doctrine and HIS ways, and we can only do that … Continue reading Who is Your Model?
Today is the Day!
Today is a new day, and it's a good day for Christians! Despite the problems we face or the uncertainty of the growing turmoil around us, God made this day for a reason. He's giving the people who don't know Jesus another day of grace to accept His salvation. We have to do all we … Continue reading Today is the Day!
