Trading Fear for Peace!
Fear is a powerful emotion; it changes and destroys lives. The enemy uses it to control us, causing us to be afraid of someone or something, often without reason. But when Jesus is our Savior, and we study the Bible to be filled with God's words of truth, Satan has no power over us because … Continue reading Trading Fear for Peace!
Afraid of the Dark!
Many people are afraid of the dark. And it's not the darkness of night but of the sin, lies, and deception that surrounds them. Every day, this world falls deeper into sin that's shrouded in lies and deception. Young people think it's a great world, filled with rights and freedom, no longer controlled by morals … Continue reading Afraid of the Dark!
A Gift to Replace Fear!
Many suffer from fear of death, of the unknown, and of what's coming upon this earth.

We are citizens of Heaven and followers of Jesus, the … Continue reading A Gift to Replace Fear!
Why Are You Afraid?
Evil plagues this dark world, causing many to fear. But as Christians, we have peace because God's Spirit lives in us, teaches Truth as we study the Bible, and gives us a sound mind. God is Omnipresent (always everywhere), Omnipotent (unlimited in power and authority), and Omniscient (all-knowing). When fear comes at us, we focus … Continue reading Why Are You Afraid?
Eat and Be Filled!
We may be hungry, and a delicious meal may be served, but we will only be satisfied once we eat it. It's the same with Christianity; we may hear the words of the Bible and be encouraged and even uplifted, but they are mere words unless we eat them, fill our souls with them, and … Continue reading Eat and Be Filled!
We Shouldn’t be Surprised!
Recent "unexpected" global events have many fearful about what to expect next. Yet, none of it should be surprising because God forewarned us through the Old Testament prophets. When we study the Bible and spend time in prayer and worship, we develop a relationship with Jesus, and His Spirit in us fills our minds with … Continue reading We Shouldn’t be Surprised!
I’m Not Afraid
Fear is controlling. It forces us to do things we shouldn't or not do things we should; its humiliating tactics leave us powerless against the evils of darkness. But we're not afraid when we know Jesus as our Savior and have His Spirit in us. We study the Bible to know God, so our hope … Continue reading I’m Not Afraid
Facing Fear
Many people suffer from fear. They appear heroic, but inside, they are trembling with absolute anxiety. As Christians, fear isn't part of our lives—our hope and faith are in Jesus, who defeated the one who thrives on our fear! God's Spirit lives in us, and it says in 1 John 4:4 that He is greater … Continue reading Facing Fear
Overcoming Fear!
Fear is a powerful tool that the devil uses to control and destroy people. When we allow our circumstances to overwhelm us, follow the fake news, and listen to those running in fear, we begin to accept the evil reports and become afraid. But Jesus told us NOT to be afraid of what the devil … Continue reading Overcoming Fear!
No Place for Fear
The sinful world we live in is trying to control people through confusion, deceit, and fear. However, as Christians, we no longer belong to this world or to its god; we belong to Jesus! He is our Lord now, and He watches over us and never leaves us. As we put our hope and faith … Continue reading No Place for Fear
I am Not Afraid
Fear and deception are Satan's two greatest tools, and when our minds are void of God's truth, he is able to influence them with his lies. But when we study the Scriptures and fill our minds with God's words and give Him praise for our salvation, the devil flees because he is afraid of God. … Continue reading I am Not Afraid

There is so much hype surrounding us about the Coronavirus that it's causing people to panic. Stores are emptying out because people are stocking up their homes with unperishable goods just in case—and this is adding to the hysteria. There is a virus and it can be deadly, and we need to use wisdom and … Continue reading It’s Saturday!
