Many people feel that they don't need God intervening in their lives because they have it all under control. They are educated, have an amazing career and a great social life, and they credit their "success" to their own initiatives and labor. However, their success should really be labelled: the Success of a Loser. Why a loser? Because without Christ … Continue reading Success of a Loser

Gratitude or Love
As Christians, we are supposed to love God, but how many of us actually know why we love God? Sometimes we get confused between the gift and the giver and we tend to value the gifts and the promises more than we value the actual One who gives them to us. So we need to … Continue reading Gratitude or Love
What Good is the Bible?
Often when Christians try to convert non-believers, they quote verses of Scripture hoping to prove that God is real and alive today. But sadly, to someone who doesn't know God and who has never read the Bible and who attributes the sorrows and tribulations of this world to an uncaring Creator, the Bible has no value. So what good … Continue reading What Good is the Bible?
Yay Me!
We read in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." But too often we interpret this to mean, "God is giving me the strength to be all I can be." We're encouraged to make our choices and then ask God to bless us and give us the strength and ability to be … Continue reading Yay Me!
Yes, God Hates Some Things!
The impression of God in this new age is that His only character is love. He loves everyone, accepts everything and has made a home in Heaven for all of us. We're led to believe that if we are a real Christian then we, too, will love everyone and accept everyone as equally loved by … Continue reading Yes, God Hates Some Things!
Christianity is not about ME!
The best decision anyone will make in their lifetime is to receive the salvation of Christ. Unfortunately, many people think that now, with Jesus on their side to ward off the evils of this world, they can be all they want to be and have all they desire. But they have it all backwards. Christianity is … Continue reading Christianity is not about ME!
Who are the Children of God?
There's an attitude spreading across the globe today that wants us to put our differences aside and live as one big multi-cultural family under God. It says that regardless of what we call Him, we are all God's children. Well, God does love everyone, but we are not all His children. We ARE all related biologically, but, we are … Continue reading Who are the Children of God?
Salvation Can’t be Assumed; it’s Personal
Many people assume they're saved and believe that when Jesus died on the cross He became automatic salvation for everyone. However, if they believe that, they don't know what salvation is or why it was provided on the cross! It's not an automatic reward to be assumed; it's a personal gift from God that must … Continue reading Salvation Can’t be Assumed; it’s Personal
From the Cross to King!
Most Christians know that our sins were nailed to the cross with Jesus on that dark day many years ago. But do they realize the full impact of what actually happened that day? The destiny of mankind was forever changed as Jesus rose from the Cross to be King. When God—Yeshua—created the garden in Eden, He … Continue reading From the Cross to King!
The Sting of Death
No matter how careful we live our life or what diet regime we adapt to stay healthy we will all still die sometime. And far too many people have no idea where they’re going when they die. Many assume they’ll go to Heaven; others live in constant fear of the sting of death! Death is nothing … Continue reading The Sting of Death
Truth or Comfort Zone
Much of “Christianity” today has digressed from a commitment to follow Christ to an “everything goes” attitude that gives false spiritual security. It’s a “new age religion” that says we can do our own thing and know that God loves and accepts each one of us just as we are now. It’s no wonder that this deception … Continue reading Truth or Comfort Zone
The Tragedy of the Missing Parachute
So often in life people take things for granted. Some assume that their way is the right way and they aren't willing to change and yet expect good results. Others know that they should act on certain issues now but they either, render a callous attitude and put it off until later, or do nothing … Continue reading The Tragedy of the Missing Parachute
Walking a Thin Line
The earth is being filled with “Christians” as the day of Christ’s return draws near. Some of these people are genuine, born-again believers, but most of them don’t even know God. They are captivated by a doctrine that speaks of universal love and heavenly blessings. The gospel they learn from says they were … Continue reading Walking a Thin Line
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

Our world is quickly racing toward convenience and short cuts in almost every facet of life.

These conveniences require little effort and almost no thought … Continue reading There Are No Shortcuts to the Cross
The Fear of Death
I love to share the gospel of Jesus with everyone and lead people to Him so they can be saved. Many people think that when Jesus came to earth and died on the cross that all people are just automatically saved, but this is not true. He did die for everyone, but each person must come … Continue reading The Fear of Death
Who do you follow, Jesus or Someone Who Proclaims to Know Him?
Choosing to be a Christian is the most significant and valuable decision that a person will ever make in his or her lifetime. There are a million different crossroads in life that bring people to this decision, and unfortunately, just as many false doctrines that will lead them away. If we are going to make … Continue reading Who do you follow, Jesus or Someone Who Proclaims to Know Him?
Are Heaven and Hell Real?
Most Christians accept that there is a Heaven and assume that they’ll go there when they leave earth, but many do not believe that there is a hell. Some of the new-agers believe that for unsaved people hell is here on earth, and for those who DO know Christ, then their Heaven is here on earth. … Continue reading Are Heaven and Hell Real?
Have You Made Your Reservation?
Many Christians think that going to Heaven is an automatic destination for them when they leave this world, but this is not true according to the Bible. Heaven is a promise to those who have made their reservation while they’re here on earth. Have you made yours? Heaven is mentioned over 500 times throughout the … Continue reading Have You Made Your Reservation?
