The angels know who Jesus is. They knew who He was when Gabriel told Mary that she would bear a son, and they knew who He was on that Christmas morning, surrounding the barn in an angelic choir.

Our Insurance Policy!
God's grace is the epitome of insurance policies. In this world, we WILL experience problems (John 16:33)—health, social, political, marital, financial, and even climatic.

When we accept Jesus as our Savior AND Lord, we no longer belong to this world; we … Continue reading Our Insurance Policy!
Commitment!
Salvation goes far beyond the sinner's prayer; it's a commitment to Jesus! It's knowing that He freed us from the world's evil clutches and is now our Lord. It's submitting to His authority by turning from the world's system, studying the Scriptures, and having a relationship with Jesus. It's realizing that He watches over us, … Continue reading Commitment!
The Rich and the Poor
Society has always consisted of the rich and controlling and the poor and meek. Years ago, the rich were known as lords. If you were born into a family owned by a lord, you were that lord's property.

Salvation is Personal
One of the most powerful messages that we learn from King David is that we must have a relationship with Jesus. We need to learn about God but we can't stop there; we need to make it personal. When we study the Scriptures and pray to God and worship Him, His Spirit reveals His truth … Continue reading Salvation is Personal
God Speaks Through the Scriptures!
God tells us often to call upon His name, to come to Him with our problems, to cast our cares upon Him, and to ask anything in prayer and believe that He hears us and answers us.

Why Put on the Armor of God?
Some Christians think that they get filled with the Word of God so they can have the power to yell and scream at the devil and win battles with him.
