As we reflect on the events of this past year, some of us are focusing on things that have brought great sorrow. They've made us anxious about what to expect this coming year, and we fear what lies ahead. But when we focus on Jesus, He'll pour His peace upon us and give us the … Continue reading Reflections!

Stealing the Joy of Christmas
The Christmas season is here, but it's not all joy for everyone. Many of us are going through rough times that are stealing the joy from us, making it hard to get in the mood for decorating, shopping, or celebrating. But if we know and love the Lord, we must remind ourselves that Christmas is … Continue reading Stealing the Joy of Christmas
Stumbling Blocks on the Path
The Christian walk in life is called the "Narrow Path" because it's not easy, and few want to take it. The world hates God, and it comes against us in every way, filling our pathway with stumbling blocks of temptation, hardship, and challenges. But we aren't defeated when we study the Bible and keep our … Continue reading Stumbling Blocks on the Path
Where’s Your Focus?
Many of us are going through rough times right now, and it's hard to find joy in anything. When we cry out to God but don't get answers, we begin to lose faith and focus more on the problem, giving the devil even more glory. But as Christians, we MUST remember that God DOES hear … Continue reading Where’s Your Focus?
June for Jesus!
Christians oppose worldly priorities. We focus on Jesus and His love for us, and follow Him; the world focuses on its rights to power and immoral desires. It celebrates June with parades, marking its pride in the rebellion against God's moral laws. However, we celebrate Jesus, who has freed us from the sins of this … Continue reading June for Jesus!
Today is the Day!
We often miss "today" when we're worried about what will happen tomorrow. Even Christians give in to Satan's lies of defeat for tomorrow because we forget that Jesus is our Lord TODAY and that He is greater than that deceiver who He defeated at the cross. So when our faith is weak, we don't give … Continue reading Today is the Day!
He is Our Overcomer!
Many new Christians are deceived into believing that life will now be like Heaven—prosperous, successful, and with perfect health. But this is NOT what Jesus told us would happen. He said that because we live in a corrupt world that hates God and because we have rebuked the world to follow Him, we WILL have … Continue reading He is Our Overcomer!
The Modern World!
Today's world of modern technology and social justice has no place for God. Even as Christians, we expect God to give us what we want right away, and when He doesn't, we give up and turn to the world. God sees the big picture, and He knows what we're going through and what we need. … Continue reading The Modern World!
Taking Our Cue
It's hard to thank God for our few things when our eyes are on those who have more. But when we focus on what Jesus did for us on the cross and what He has in store for us through eternity instead of on material things, we won't be able to stop praising Him. We … Continue reading Taking Our Cue
Controlling Our Thoughts
The world we live in has compromised “good” with a lot of deception that looks good but is really evil. Matthew 7:13 says that there is a lot of sin in the world and that many people are heading in the wrong direction because of it. Many Christians stay away from the obvious sins of the world … Continue reading Controlling Our Thoughts
