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
Defeating the Impossible
We say it, but do we really believe that God can do anything? That regardless of how hopeless or impossible the plight is for us, it is NOT impossible for our Lord? God created the universe with the stars and the moon, and the earth with its oceans and mountains, and He made you and … Continue reading Defeating the Impossible
Riches, Honor, and Life!
Rewards and honor given to us in this world are because it recognizes us as being more worthy than others to receive them. Yet, they are temporal, conditional and will lose their value in time. But ALL rewards and honor that God gives us come because we humble ourselves before Jesus and recognize Him as … Continue reading Riches, Honor, and Life!
How to Fight and Win!
We have no power on our own merits to fight the devil that influences this world with sin and corruption because he is spiritual, and the battle we fight is spiritual. But when we study the Scriptures and grow in God's truth, and put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), we become warriors … Continue reading How to Fight and Win!
What Nature Reveals
We are surrounded by unrest and chaos because of sin, and that won't change until Jesus returns as King. BUT we are also surrounded by the beauty of His amazing creation that we know as "Nature." How we view our surroundings is the same way we view water in a glass. For us who love … Continue reading What Nature Reveals
Come With Gladness
It's difficult to praise someone who we've only heard about but don't know personally. It's hard to share the gospel with others and sound convincing when we don't even know it ourselves. As Christians, we need to dig into the Scriptures to know Jesus, and we have to spend time in prayer and worship to … Continue reading Come With Gladness
Peace and Confidence!
Our minds are like sponges, and they absorb whatever is around them. This is why the Bible says to study the Word and meditate on the Scriptures day and night and think on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, are of good report, and have virtue. We are to commit our thoughts to God because … Continue reading Peace and Confidence!
How to Be a Productive Christian
The people of this world surrender to its ways, not realizing that the world's lord is the devil who rules over them. However, as Christians, our allegiance is to Jesus because HE is OUR Lord, and we surrender to His authority, which we know by reading the Bible. Whatever He said is what He meant … Continue reading How to Be a Productive Christian
Whoever Shall Call
Jesus looked down from Heaven at His creation and was angry that the people preferred to live in sin and mock Him rather than know the truth and obey Him. He could have judged and condemned us at any time because of our sin, but He loves us, and so put His Deity aside and … Continue reading Whoever Shall Call
There is Hope
Jesus knows of our sin, and He's made way for us to be forgiven and redeemed back to our Heavenly Father. We live in this world, and God takes care of us, but we no longer belong to it because we are citizens of Heaven! The people who refuse God's salvation have been deceived by … Continue reading There is Hope
Good Gifts
God loves us, and He enjoys blessing us with the desires of our hearts when we ask for them and even when we don't ask for them. He's a good Father who also disciplines us so we'll stay on the path that leads us Home. Sometimes we get things we don't ask for or don't … Continue reading Good Gifts
How do You See Him?
As parents, our children look to us for everything in their lives as we teach them how to grow up to be happy, healthy, and productive adults. We bless them, discipline them, protect them from all the evils of this world, and pray for them when they're away so they'll return home safely. This is … Continue reading How do You See Him?
Pray for Each Other
As Christians, God has given us two main jobs to fulfill while we're on this earth. Firstly, we are Christ's ambassadors, and we must share the gospel of Christ with those who don't know Him and show them His love as we pray for their salvation. Secondly, we are brothers and sisters in the Lord, … Continue reading Pray for Each Other
Don’t Give Up!
There are times when we pray for a long time for someone to come to the Lord and receive salvation. We witness to them, show them God's love, and encourage them in the hope of Jesus, yet, their response implies that they aren't interested. Don't give up! We don't know how firm the grip is … Continue reading Don’t Give Up!
Lest We Forget
My father fought in WW2 and survived severe physical injuries, but he carried the mental torment of the horrors he endured to his grave. He told us stories that even Hollywood couldn't dream up, and it's only because of God that he could live an almost normal life. Most of us really have no idea … Continue reading Lest We Forget
Lift Your Head
It's easy to get discouraged and even depressed when we take our eyes off God and focus on our problems. But as Christians, we must remember that God is greater than our problems, and there is nothing impossible to Him. The devil shouts loud and grabs our attention, and can defeat us out of our … Continue reading Lift Your Head
Daily Grace
God does hear and answer our prayers! Sometimes, we don't get what we ask for, but we must remember that we only see our own issues, whereas God sees the whole picture. We need to learn to trust Him and accept the answer He gives us because He loves us, and His grace is all … Continue reading Daily Grace
Knowing Right from Wrong
God's laws are being changed to suit the lifestyles of this modern world. Many Christians accept the changes and assume that God is okay with them because government AND Christian leaders make the changes. But God does not change, and He is not okay with this! As followers of Jesus, we have to do that—FOLLOW … Continue reading Knowing Right from Wrong
Loving Those Who Mock Us
Why would God tell us to show love towards worldly people who are disrespectful and rude to us, or treat us poorly and even mock God? It's because they are people just like us, but they're trapped in the devil's clutches and can't see that the only way out is through Jesus! So, when we … Continue reading Loving Those Who Mock Us
We Have the Victory!
There is so much going on around us in the spiritual realm that we'll never know about until we get to Heaven. When we belonged to the world, we were open to everything the devil could throw at us and we had no one to stand in the gap and fight for us. But Jesus … Continue reading We Have the Victory!
