If we could close our eyes and see Jesus hanging and dying on the cross for OUR sins and then watch His soul get dragged into hell as a punishment for those sins, we'd be in tears. If we could see God raise Him out of hell and back to life, declaring His victory over … Continue reading When it Becomes a Reality
Your Best Friend
Jesus is the best friend you and I will ever have! He gave His life to save ours, promised that He'd never leave us, and has prepared an amazing eternity for us with Him. Though He has made it all available to everyone, the only way we'll get them and be blessed is to first … Continue reading Your Best Friend
You do NOT Want to Miss This!
As I look at all that's going on in the world, I know that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. Jesus warned us in Matthew 24 of what would happen right before the end of this world's system. All the prophecies of Ezekiel, Daniel, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, to mention a few, have … Continue reading You do NOT Want to Miss This!
Get the Right Directions
An old Christian saying goes, "Do all you can do, and God will do the rest." In essence, we choose our own goal and do what we can towards it, and then God will jump in at our request and make it happen. However, if we choose to do something based on our own thinking … Continue reading Get the Right Directions
Agree to Disagree
When we do something that offends one of our brethren, God expects us to go to that person, apologize, and make peace with them. Since this issue is personal, God does not want us to broadcast to the whole world what we did this time or what we'd done as a sinner because that just … Continue reading Agree to Disagree
A Better Way
This world's system is falling apart just as Jesus said would happen in Matthew 24. Every day, we learn of new problems: political destruction, economic failure, social degradation, climatic disasters, and menacing pandemics. These affect all of us, but as Christians, we waste precious time when we argue the issues instead of telling people about … Continue reading A Better Way
Beyond the Grave
Many people have a fear of dying, likely because they don't know the truth about life. The people of this world should be afraid because they haven't received life through Jesus and are headed for an eternity of torment in hell. But for us who know Jesus as our Savior, our life only gets better! … Continue reading Beyond the Grave
The Promise
God is the epitome of love. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, He forgives us for our sins, and gives us eternal life with Him. But those who reject Him will face His wrath and punishment for their sins. God is just and has given us this time of grace to accept His salvation, … Continue reading The Promise
In Times of Trouble
Sometimes, when we go through troubles in life, we get upset, even angry at God, because we think they shouldn't happen to Christians. But God often allows them to happen to either teach us something or to draw us closer to Him. Every time we go to God for help, our relationship with Jesus gets … Continue reading In Times of Trouble
Wisdom and Might
It's hard to know who to trust anymore because we are surrounded by deceit and corruption. But we can trust God because we know that He's always faithful and true and that He loves and protects those who put their trust in Him. As His children, we are in this world but no longer of … Continue reading Wisdom and Might
What is Contentment?
We are blessed when we realize that we are children of God, saved by the shed blood of Jesus, and heading for eternity in Heaven with Him! We came into this world with nothing, and we'll leave with nothing. It's not what we gain in material wealth while we're here that matters; it's what we … Continue reading What is Contentment?
Who to Trust
It's amazing how some people have taken it upon themselves to change God's laws and legalize sin just to suit their own greed and immoral desires. As Christians, we can't trust the world to protect us anymore because our values are so different. But we can trust God because He is still God, and this … Continue reading Who to Trust
Follow the Light
Every day, this world gets darker with sin. God's laws are being changed to appease the lusts of the flesh; good is being called evil, and evil is being made legally correct. Reverence and honor that are His alone are being given to the devil. However, God is still on the throne in Heaven, and … Continue reading Follow the Light
Motive is Everything
Many people become "Christians" for personal gain to "live their best life now." But this isn't a time for prosperity because God is getting ready to pour out His wrath upon this evil world. We become Christians because we realize that we are one of the sinners whom God will punish and that Jesus IS … Continue reading Motive is Everything
Choices
We live in a time when there are many diverse churches, all claiming to be Christian yet, they don't reverence God. They change the Bible to please the sinful hearts of people rather than stand for God's truth and preach the pure gospel of Christ. Laws are changing so that good is being called evil, … Continue reading Choices
It’s Hard to Imagine!
It's hard to imagine just how great God's love is for us. He actually left His throne in Heaven to come to earth and live in a human body, and then ultimately died on the cross in our place to pay the punishment for our sins! It's even harder to imagine that He rose from … Continue reading It’s Hard to Imagine!
Revealing What’s Inside
We usually don't have to ask people if they are Christians because we can know simply by their words and actions, and how they dress. And the same goes for Christians; the world should be able to know if we're followers of Christ by our words and actions and how we dress. When we love … Continue reading Revealing What’s Inside
Your Labor is Not in Vain
Sometimes, we pray for someone to get saved and then are privileged to lead them to Jesus, but most often, it's someone else who leads them into salvation. Being part of a family means that we all work together by doing our part and pressing towards the same goal. We can't always be near the … Continue reading Your Labor is Not in Vain
The Endurance Team
Every time we ask God for something, we put our faith to work as we trust Him above the world for the answer. It takes patience to wait on God, especially when we need the answer right now. As we study the Bible and develop a relationship with Jesus, we put our faith in Him, … Continue reading The Endurance Team

When we study the Scriptures to know God and spend time in prayer and worship, we can rejoice despite what's going on around us because we know that Jesus, our Lord, is greater than the god of this world. When our mouths are filled with praises for God instead of curses for the circumstances, the … Continue reading Be an Inspiration!
