Many of us forget that as Christians, we don't belong to this world. Our purpose isn't to please it or to seek wealth and fame, but to do God's will and win souls for Christ while there's still time. We must begin every day with Jesus so that HIS will is in the foreground of … Continue reading Peace and Confidence
Psalm 19:14
Reacting Badly!
Sometimes, things don't turn out as they should, and we react badly. Other times, we're mocked and humbled for standing for something and losing. But as Christians, let's not forget that we live in the foretold evil days before Jesus returns. We must pray fervently, study the Bible diligently, and seek God's direction in everything … Continue reading Reacting Badly!
When the Mind Wanders!
Many of us work in the worldly sector, where the boldness of others can influence our thoughts and words. As Christians, we have come out of the world, and we are supposed to impact the world's people, not them influence us. When we study the Bible daily and fill our thoughts with God's Word, our … Continue reading When the Mind Wanders!
Anxiety Attacks!
When stress and anxiety attack, even Christians can give in and say things we shouldn't. This doesn't mean we'll go to hell, but it does mean that we need to seek God more, ESPECIALLY during the attacks, so we won't say or do things we'll regret. The devil is out to get us, and we … Continue reading Anxiety Attacks!
What Words Really Say!
When provoked, many of us speak what's on our minds—revealing what's in our hearts. As Christians, we represent Jesus in all we say and do, and when we swear, curse, gossip, or judge others, we're no different from the world in their eyes. We must study our Bibles to fill up on God's Words and … Continue reading What Words Really Say!
Forgiven, Not Perfect
Being Christian means our sins are forgiven, but we are not perfect. We live in a sinful world, and though God's Spirit lives in our hearts, sometimes we ignore His instruction and say or do things we regret. God is faithful and forgives us when we repent, but our actions still affect others. This is … Continue reading Forgiven, Not Perfect
Training the Tongue
Many think becoming Christian means sinful habits will fall away, but that doesn't often happen. Our sins have been forgiven, but the body is used to this corrupt world and has to be retrained—and the tongue is often the greatest challenge. Old cuss words still want to roll out, so we must take control of … Continue reading Training the Tongue
We Are What We Say
Our words define who we are in our hearts. As Christians, we are God's ambassadors on this earth, and what we say reflects how others see Him. It's easy to get caught up in gossip and believe we're just sharing information, and it's equally destructive to speak badly and judge someone for what we think … Continue reading We Are What We Say
The Words We Speak
Christians often feel pressured to do what's right in this sinful world. This is why it's so important that the first thing we do each morning is to give God thanks and praise for the day and then ask for His wisdom, guidance, and compassion so that everything we say, do, and think is acceptable … Continue reading The Words We Speak
Our Words
Sometimes, even though we love the Lord, the words that come out of our mouths don't edify Him; they do just the opposite. So, how do we overcome this to make our words acceptable to God? We study the Bible and fill up on His truth! The Scriptures are life to our souls, and the … Continue reading Our Words
The Land of the Living
As Christians, we walk by faith, not by sight. We are surrounded by gossip and negative news reports, and many people live in fear because they don't know the truth—but we know the truth! Let's keep our hearts on God, our eyes in the Word, and our mouths full of praise so we can speak … Continue reading The Land of the Living
Words
The best start to any day is to greet the Lord with praise, give Him thanks for the day, and ask Him to live through us so that we can be the person He has called us to be. The people of this world are hurting and scared because they are looking to the leaders … Continue reading Words
Please, pass the salt!
There's a mineral that we use every day and can't live without. It gives life and we use it to accent our food, preserve food, bathe in, and even cleanse wounds. Spiritual salt is also crucial to life, and we must always be filled and ready to respond when we hear, “Please, pass the salt!” Jesus had … Continue reading Please, pass the salt!
Smile, God Loves You!
