Sometimes, we can't understand why things go wrong in our lives, and we get frustrated trying to figure it out. This is why Jesus told us to cast our cares onto Him—because He DOES know why and He DOES have the answer. Sometimes, it's just the world trying to hurt us; sometimes we've caused the … Continue reading Why?

The Perfect Way
Tribulations are part of a Christian's life. The details are different, but the pain and anxiety are the same, and Jesus is our ONLY hope! He leads us in the way He wants us to go, but sometimes we think God is unfair and blame Him for our sorrows, for allowing certain situations. We forget … Continue reading The Perfect Way
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!
The Gift of Envy!
Many Christians wish they had the faith of their mentors. They hear of miracles and blessings and crave that kind of faith but don't know how to get it, so they survive each day on the gift of envy. God gave each of us the gift of life through the death and resurrection of His … Continue reading The Gift of Envy!
Technology: the new God!
Technology is a god to many. It's convenient, gives instant access to almost anything, and wealth and power to those who worship it. Most don't realize this is Satan's plan to keep us from seeking God, but we who know Jesus and read the Bible daily see the Truth. God hears and answers our prayers … Continue reading Technology: the new God!
Be Ready for the Answer!
When our world crashes down on us, it's easy to lose hope and give up. But that's precisely what the devil wants us to do, so he does all he can to keep us from looking to God for the answers. But despite the devil's attempts, God's promises are true, and when we love Jesus, … Continue reading Be Ready for the Answer!
Learning to Trust!
Many of us don't trust people we can see, let alone God who we can't see. We give our problems to God but continue to stress over them. We know in our minds that He is God, but we lack the faith to trust Him as our Heavenly Father who loves us and answers our prayers. … Continue reading Learning to Trust!
Peace Amid Problems
In this corrupt world, getting peace amid problems without answers is hard. But, when we trust God, as He's told us to do, He gets us through AND with His perfect peace. As Christians, we can't let the world control us; we must keep our eyes on God and TRUST Him to get us through. … Continue reading Peace Amid Problems
Amazing Peace
Many of us will face overwhelming challenges today. Whether work-related or personal, some things can crush us, causing us to panic and become defeated. But as Christians, we don't need to be defeated because God is our Lord, and nothing is impossible for Him! And when we give our issues to Him and trust Him … Continue reading Amazing Peace
Be Bold, Not Afraid!
Christians are God's ambassadors in this world. It's our job to tell people about God's soon-coming wrath upon this evil world AND of Christ's salvation to escape it. When we get to Heaven and don't see loved ones or friends there because we were afraid of being mocked or humiliated if we told them, we … Continue reading Be Bold, Not Afraid!
Commit and Trust
Often, as Christians, we pray about something, and when the answer doesn't come, when and how we expect it, we give up. We think God didn't hear, doesn't care, or wants us to struggle through it alone. But Jesus said to give all of our cares to Him, so when we pray, we must humble … Continue reading Commit and Trust
The Impossible
We often try to solve problems using our own skills and ideas. But sometimes, we don't have what it takes to get the victory through them, and we're defeated before we get started. But as Christians, we should never be defeated because God is watching over us. He's told us to give HIM our problems … Continue reading The Impossible
Shielded by Faith
The world sees the Bible merely as an old book; Christians know it is the voice of God! We read in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that men were inspired by God to write the Bible, and in John 14:26, that God's Holy Spirit teaches us His Truth. The world's people will never understand the Bible (1 … Continue reading Shielded by Faith
A Better End
Our first reaction to an unexpected problem is often negative because we think we know what the end result will be. But if we give it to God and TRUST Him with it, we'll see that God may have allowed it to happen to give us a BETTER end result. When we give our burdens … Continue reading A Better End
Life to Our Souls
Most people don't trust God because they don't know Him. But Jesus made way for us, and as Christians, we can draw close to Him when we study the Bible and let His words become life to our souls, spend time in prayer and worship, and praise Him for His love and faithfulness. God's ways … Continue reading Life to Our Souls
How to Walk
The Bible is filled with promises of things God will do for those who love and trust Him. But sometimes, when we encounter problems, it's hard to ignore them (that we DO see) and trust God (who we DON'T see.) So we must study the Bible to know God and His Words for us and … Continue reading How to Walk
God is Faithful
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. In faith, we step into an elevator and trust that it won't fall, and we drive our cars and assume we'll arrive safely. Yet, when it comes to God, many of us have no faith in Him because we don't know … Continue reading God is Faithful
Feeding Our Minds
Our minds are like computers; they take in information and program our responses. When we focus only on the chaos and unrest of this world, we'll fill up with its problems and respond with fear and anxiety, like the people of the world. But when we study the Bible to know God and fill up … Continue reading Feeding Our Minds
Learning to Trust Him
Sometimes, we'll ask God to help us with something or give us something, and the answer we get is not what we expected. We get angry that God didn't respond to our wishes, or frustrated that He didn't care, or discouraged that He either didn't hear us or chose not to answer. But God DOES … Continue reading Learning to Trust Him
Not Ashamed!
As Christians, it's easy to talk about God within the church congregation or in small church gatherings. But how many of us talk about God to people outside of the church, to those who don't know Him, to those in stores or at businesses whose obvious mindset is not on our Lord? This is when … Continue reading Not Ashamed!
