It's hard to rejoice in the Lord when going through rough times. So, we must discipline ourselves to read our Bibles and be reminded that God is not our problem; He is our only hope for the answer. It's the devil who wants to kill and destroy us, and when we cry to God and … Continue reading Don’t Blame God!

From Gloom to Hope!
Most people of this world are heading into God's judgment because they've chosen to serve their unquenchable desire for sin rather than God. Others don't accept the changes but feel defeated and alone as they face a gloomy future. But we who know and love Jesus as our Lord and Savior are hopeful because He … Continue reading From Gloom to Hope!
The Problem Solver!
We don't solve weighty problems by agonizing and focusing on the negative side. As Christians, we know the devil is the force behind them, and the more we focus on the problem, the more he's glorified, and the more he'll keep going. We have to acknowledge the situation and immediately give it to Jesus—and not … Continue reading The Problem Solver!

We'll have peace and joy in our hearts despite … Continue reading Smile Anyway!
No One is Greater!
The devil is set to steal, kill, and destroy us with problems, but Jesus came to give us abundant life—John 10:10. Many live in defeat because, even though Jesus defeated the devil at the cross (John 3:16), they haven't accepted Him as their Lord and Savior who set them free. As Christians, let's encourage others … Continue reading No One is Greater!

But Christian joy fills our souls with unconditional delight because we know what Jesus has done, is doing, and will do for us. He's greater than our problems and has made way for … Continue reading Unconditional Joy
Like a Glass of Water
We can view life like a glass of water—half full or half empty. When we focus on our problems and pains, we're overpowered by hopelessness and defeated by doubt. But when we see the good in life DESPITE our problems and pain, we have hope and joy. Jesus said we'd have tribulations in this life … Continue reading Like a Glass of Water
Life IS Good
Sometimes, it's hard to see the good things in life. But as Christians, we must discipline ourselves to see the good because life IS good despite our surroundings. We live IN this world, but we no longer belong TO it. We can take all of our problems to Jesus and trust Him to lead us … Continue reading Life IS Good
Rejoicing in the Storms!
Every day, we learn of more global disasters and senseless deaths, and it's getting scary! As Christians, we live in this world, but it no longer lives in us because Jesus redeemed us back to God, and He is now our Lord. Our hope and joy are in Jesus, who's not only prepared a great … Continue reading Rejoicing in the Storms!

The world is exploding with sin and corruption, and it's getting worse every day. There's no place on earth where we can hide from it, and that's scary. But as Christians, let's remember that we live IN this world right now, but we belong to God, and Jesus IS watching over us. Let's not view … Continue reading No Place to Hide
Smile, God Loves You!
