Life on earth is short compared to eternity. Many don't realize that this world is the beginning and that we'll continue to be ourselves throughout eternity. In Heaven, our minds and bodies will be perfected, and we'll live in a new world with a refreshed nature and always be in God's presence. In hell, our … Continue reading Our Future

Living in Grace
The greatest decision we'll ever make is turning from the world and accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior!

We need … Continue reading Living in Grace
The Rocky Road
The road we travel in life can be rocky and unsure, but we can make it when we're following Jesus! Christians are forgiven of their sins, not perfect, and we all have problems to overcome.

The Great Reward
Many people have no idea how much they need Jesus now and what they'll face without His salvation later! This sinful world is about to enter the Great Tribulation—God's judgment against sin.

Jesus is the ONLY Way to God
Sin separates us from God because God is Holy. He doesn't love us any less; we just can't come into His presence—and that includes going to Heaven when we die. So God became flesh and lived among us and then died on the cross to take those sins away from us and rose again to … Continue reading Jesus is the ONLY Way to God

Who Gets to Throw the First Stone?
There is only a fine line between Christians and the world at times when it comes to attitudes.

We are all on the same level until we get to … Continue reading Who Gets to Throw the First Stone?
Our Sins and the Cross
The full impact of what was accomplished on the cross at Calvary is often not fully understood by many Christians.

The Humility of Prayer
As Christians, we all come to God in prayer with our needs and desires because we believe that He will deliver us from our sorrows, heal our bodies and bless us.

The Object of the Cross
As Christians, we all know that Jesus is the Christ who came to take away the sins of the world. But did you know that salvation is not just a general observation— that it’s really personal? Did you know that YOU are the reason He came—and that YOU were the object of the cross? Jesus came … Continue reading The Object of the Cross
Christians Are Not Perfect: We are Forgiven!
As we travel forward in our Christian walk we realize that not everyone along the way is in the same place as we are in our personal relationship with God.

Some were once back-sliders, but are now back on the path, … Continue reading Christians Are Not Perfect: We are Forgiven!
What does it Mean to be Saved?

Giving Thanks
Today is Thanksgiving Day to many of us, and it's a day that's designated to celebrate all the things we're thankful for in our lives.

We’re not perfect, we’re forgiven!
One of the most humiliating trials Christians can face is eating their own words at the cost of embarrassment and disgrace. As Christians, we grow in our knowledge of the Word and in our understanding of God and His commandments, and as we develop a close relationship with Him, He becomes our reason for living. Yet … Continue reading We’re not perfect, we’re forgiven!
