Life is better when we keep our eyes on the Lord and not the world. Jesus warned us of the chaos and unrest in these last days and told us to trust Him and rest in His peace. We don't understand most of what's going on, but God does, so let's not worry about things … Continue reading Don’t Worry About Things You Can’t Control
The Gift
How do you receive a gift? Do you display it proudly for everyone to see? Hide it in a closet? Ignore it? God gave His gift of salvation to everyone, but the second part of John 3:16 says that we must accept it and let it be our testimony for others to see. As Christians, … Continue reading The Gift
A Father’s Gift
We celebrate Christmas because it's the fulfillment of God's promise to send a Savior who would take our sins away and redeem us back to Him. When we accept His salvation, Jesus changes us from sinful to righteous, fills us with His Spirit, and makes us citizens of Heaven and joint-heirs in God's Kingdom. Whatever … Continue reading A Father’s Gift
The Victory is OURS!
God hears and answers our prayers and gives us the victory through every situation when we put our faith in Him and not in the world. He said He WOULD give us the victory—not might. So let's trust God and stand on His words and stop listening to a doubting world because JESUS is OUR … Continue reading The Victory is OURS!
What Do You Say?
Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas, what do you say? The world's people say Happy Holidays because to them, it's a holiday, the time for Santa, gifts, parties, and festive gatherings. But, for Christians, we celebrate Jesus, our Savior, so we say Merry Christmas! At this time of the year, when people seek peace and joy … Continue reading What Do You Say?
The Voice We Hear
The voice of this world boldly proclaims self-righteousness, determined to change God's laws to suit their modern lifestyles. And many Christians are deceived into believing that God accepts these changes so the world can be a better place to live. But as God's children, we must study our Bibles continually to know Him and His … Continue reading The Voice We Hear
So Worthy!
Sin separated us from God, so He promised to send a Savior to remove the sin and redeem us back to Himself. God told us repeatedly throughout the Old Testament that it was He who would be that Savior! He left His throne in Heaven to come to earth and become a man so He … Continue reading So Worthy!
It’s the Little Things
Sometimes we can see God's greatness more in the little things in our lives than we can in the big things. It's when God answers our private, quiet prayers for something that might seem insignificant to others that we see how great God is and how important we are to Him. These blessings affirm to … Continue reading It’s the Little Things
Freedom
As the world heads deeper into sin, it's getting harder in many areas to gather in the Lord's house to worship Him and fellowship with each other. So we gather when we can and worship our Lord in our homes when we can't because our heart is to praise Him. But one day—and very soon, … Continue reading Freedom
No Appointment Needed
In this world, we have to make appointments, follow the rules of red tape and hope that our issues are important enough to get someone's attention. But as Christians, we belong to God, and His Spirit lives in us and NEVER leaves us, so we can tell Him our issues any time of day or … Continue reading No Appointment Needed
One Glorious Night!
The Christmas season is upon us, and there is no better way to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior than to share it with others! I wrote a book called, One Glorious Night, and I believe that God inspired me to write it. Each time I read it, I am blessed because the … Continue reading One Glorious Night!
Working Together for Good
One thing about life is that sometimes it presents unexpected surprises, some good and some not so good. But as God's children, we take everything to Him in prayer and rest in Him because, as the Scriptures tell us, our ways are not always God's ways. And when we trust God to take care of … Continue reading Working Together for Good
Living in Distrust and Fear
It's hard to trust people anymore. So many would prefer to adhere to the world's new-age laws that oppose God's laws rather than follow Godly principles with integrity. And many people (even Christians) live in distrust and fear because of it. But, as Christians, we can live in peace when we study the Scriptures to … Continue reading Living in Distrust and Fear
A Time to Sing!
As we enter the Christmas season, surrounded by music, glittering lights, and amazing decorations, our hearts are filled with joy. The world glorifies Santa, but as Christians, we celebrate Jesus! We see beyond the gifts and decorations and remember that the birth of Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise of a coming Savior. It … Continue reading A Time to Sing!
In Times of Trouble
When problems come against us, we need to RUN to God immediately for help and not try our own solutions out first. God not only sees the big picture, BUT Jesus has already defeated the devil, so let's not give glory to the enemy by attempting to beat him on our own merits because we … Continue reading In Times of Trouble
I Am Not Ashamed
When we meet someone and that person becomes a dear friend who we love and respect, we are not ashamed to call them our friend, and we can't hide our feelings just because others don't like them. We are proud to walk with them anywhere, and we talk about them to others so they'll know … Continue reading I Am Not Ashamed
Unfailing Love
When we get caught up with life's issues and don't spend time with God, we begin to feel empty and separated from Him—and this is exactly what the devil wants. This is why we must read the Bible, spend time in prayer, and surround ourselves with worship music daily because then our hearts and minds … Continue reading Unfailing Love
Mercy, Peace, and Love
The peace, love, and joy of life that we once knew through reverencing God's laws have been replaced with challenge and even stress because of new social rights and opinions. As Christians, we need to continually study the Scriptures and spend time in prayer and worship to know God's truth and live in His peace. … Continue reading Mercy, Peace, and Love
How to See God
Many Christians don't realize that accepting the salvation of Jesus means we are forgiven for our sins, but we are not perfect. We can still be tempted by sins and habits that will keep us from God's presence if we don't study the Scriptures to know God and draw close to Him. The more we … Continue reading How to See God
We Wait
We have so much to thank God for, beginning with our salvation. Because of Jesus, our sins are gone and we are able to come to God with our prayers and know that He not only hears them, but He answers them. God is a judge to the world, but to us, He's our Heavenly … Continue reading We Wait
Smile, God Loves You!
