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!

Discarding Values!
The world discards values and humility as it destroys the family structure. It enforces rights to children they can't perceive, and encourages professionals to replace God.

Submit to God!
When Jesus told us to ask Him for anything, it wasn't just about material things. We are God's children living in a corrupt and evil world, and we need His help to overcome a conniving devil who wants to destroy us.

Misplaced Confidence!
Many Christians put their trust in a person, thinking they're following God. They find a pastor who teaches according to their desires and put their trust in him.

To Be Like Him!
Many work hard at trying to be Christians. They struggle between following diverse church rules and standards and accepting the ever-changing laws of rights and morals. But true Christians obey only one set of rules written by God in the Bible and follow only one Lord, Christ Jesus. God's Spirit lives in us, and as … Continue reading To Be Like Him!
Revealing Faith!

It’s Not Impossible!
Many of us doubt God's power because we don't know Him. We tend to bring Him down to our level, forgetting that He's the Creator of everything living! He's Almighty, all-knowing, and ever-present.

Believing is Seeing!
Many of us say we have faith, but without works, it's idle words. When we pray about something and have faith in God for the answer, we'll wait expectantly to receive it, prepare for it, look for it, and be at peace like the birds waiting for their food because we know it's coming. But … Continue reading Believing is Seeing!
A Measure of Faith!
Christian faith is not a magical formula and cannot be bought. It's trusting God because we know Jesus as our Savior.

God has given us the privilege to know Him AND the responsibility to study (2 Timothy 2:15, 3:16) and meditate on His … Continue reading No Excuse For Ignorance!
It’s Who Controls the Mind!

But Christians serve the God of Heaven, and to know Him, we must fill our hearts and minds with the knowledge and wisdom that God has given … Continue reading It’s Who Controls the Mind!
One Drop at a Time
Contrary to modern teaching, faith in God does not just happen when we become Christian. We aren't suddenly filled with faith that moves mountains.
