We're at that time of year again, writing Christmas gift lists as we count down the days until Christmas morning! Gift exchanging is fun, but we can never give anything as valuable as the gift God gave us: Jesus, our Savior!

Matthew 21:22
Surrender and Trust!
God gave us the Bible so we can know Him and have it as our guide for life. Though written by men, EVERY word is inspired by God! Every prophecy to date has come to pass, exactly as foretold. God does NOT change. His Word does NOT change. He is the same today as He … Continue reading Surrender and Trust!
Prayer is Not an Option!
A relationship takes two. God speaks to us through His Word—the Bible—and we talk to Him through prayer. If we're going to have a relationship with Jesus, we must study our Bibles to know Him and spend time in prayer to communicate with Him. We can praise Him, talk about our problems, tell Him how … Continue reading Prayer is Not an Option!
All I Want for Christmas!

We must study the Bible to know God, His ways, and His will. Then, we can give God our issues, knowing His … Continue reading Our Limited Mindset!
The Stolen Promise
Why don't some prayers get answered? We're told in 1 Peter 5:7 to give our problems to God and in Proverbs 15:29 that He hears our prayers. However, many don't understand that we have to BELIEVE that Jesus is our Lord and WILL do the things He's promised AND that we must surrender it all … Continue reading The Stolen Promise
Believe It!
Many people are confused about what we can ask God to do for us. Some believe it's His obligation to give us everything we ask; others are afraid to ask Him for anything. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we become God's children, and like any earthly father, when we have a need, our … Continue reading Believe It!
