Trials and tribulations are not fun, but as Romans 5:3 says, they allow us to draw close to God to see His hand at work and rejoice in Him.

Having a Good Day

Because He is True
We can't build a relationship with someone we've only heard about, and we can't put our hope and faith in Jesus when we're only going by what others say about Him.

We Are Not Wannabees
The dictionary defines Christians as "followers of Jesus Christ. " So to follow Jesus, we must know Him personally as our Lord and Savior AND follow Him—not our own version of Christiandom.

Human Logic
The human mind is like a computer. It establishes its logic based on the fixed input of this world's knowledge and calculated wisdom and will never exceed our human ability to compute.

Things Will Work Out
The Bible says the meek will inherit the earth, and it's because they are committed to Jesus and submit to His Lordship. They don't pray about a situation and then try to work it out their way.

A Name to Be Praised
Many Christians don't see the need to praise God, especially when they're hurting.

When we fill up on God's Word, our lives become walking testimonies of His love, grace, and … Continue reading What God said About Peace
Why Read the Bible?
Most new-age Christians don't read the Bible because they feel God will lead them by their feelings.

We must study the Bible daily to … Continue reading Why Read the Bible?
