Living in Denial!
Some Christians reject medical reports. They believe God wouldn't allow them to become ill, even though Jesus warned us in John 16:33 that we would face tribulation in this evil world. We must use wisdom, acknowledge that something has attacked us, and pray about it so God can heal us or direct us to someone … Continue reading Living in Denial!
Because He Cares
It's hard to find peace in this chaotic world when rules and values keep changing. We don't know who to trust anymore. People don't share the same ideals, and the values we cherish as Christians are being mocked as outdated or, worse yet, biased. We must focus on the things of God, on Jesus our … Continue reading Because He Cares
Words of Comfort
Jesus warned us in Matthew 24 about the evil in the world that would precede His wrath. People would turn from Him to serve evil, choosing lawlessness over peace as wars, rumors of wars, and unrest surround us. And the prophet Isaiah (5:20) said that in these days, good and evil would trade places. All … Continue reading Words of Comfort
Believing Without Doubt
Faith is the confidence we have in someone or something, believing without doubt what's been promised.

Patience, Persistence, and Prayer
Sometimes, family or friends need help. They don't know the Lord, but we love them and do what we can for them. They accept our help with open arms, but don't want to change to improve their situation, and we feel as if we're wasting our time with them. But doing good in the name … Continue reading Patience, Persistence, and Prayer
A Friend For Life!
When we know Jesus as our Savior, He fills us with His Spirit, and He NEVER leaves us. He comforts, leads, and teaches us in the things of God through His Word.

The Onus is On Us!
Many believe that accepting Jesus as their Savior is all that's needed to be a Christian. But that acceptance is merely the beginning of our new life in Christ; now we must study the Bible to know Him and all that He accomplished on the cross for us, what He has prepared for us in … Continue reading The Onus is On Us!
The Joy in Waiting
Waiting can be exciting when expecting something good, or fearful when anticipating something bad. This world is spiraling into sin, and many wait daily in fear for what lies ahead. However, God is still in control, and He's about to pour out His judgment on this sinful world, but before He does, Jesus will call … Continue reading The Joy in Waiting
What We Say and Do!
When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we become new creatures in Christ; we want to follow Him, not the ways of the world. We study the Bible to know Jesus and what He did for us on the cross—He pardoned our sins, sparing us from God's wrath on sin, freeing us from the bondage … Continue reading What We Say and Do!
The Mention of His Name!
The best part of being a Christian is knowing that Jesus loves us. There are no conditions, no criteria to follow, no finances required, and no training necessary. When we realize we are sinners doomed for judgment, and that Jesus, the Son of God, is the Savior who came and took the punishment on the … Continue reading The Mention of His Name!
The Lookout!
As Dean Martin once sang out, everybody needs somebody some time. In this evil world, there are times when it's not easy to endure daily living, let alone trials and struggles. As Christians, God wants us to look out for one another and help the hurting brother or sister from turning to the world for … Continue reading The Lookout!
Stand for Truth!
This chaotic world has an explanation for everything, convincing us that it's all under control. They say it's progress as the world seeks global peace, but it's really a world rushing into God's judgment because of sin, deception, and lawlessness, just as the prophets said would happen in the last days before Jesus takes His … Continue reading Stand for Truth!
Love is Binding!
There's a difference between knowing about Jesus and actually knowing Him. I may be fascinated by the perks and benefits of a certain career, but until I commit to it, become educated and skilled in it, I am merely a wannabe. It's like that with Christianity. We may know ABOUT Jesus, but it's not until … Continue reading Love is Binding!
Calm in the Storm
It's hard to stay calm amid the storm. Many pray and say they're trusting God to get them through, but are overcome with anxiety when the answer doesn't come right away. As Christians, we MUST remember that God has our situation in His hands and WILL answer us, but in HIS way and timing because … Continue reading Calm in the Storm
Grace is All We Need!
Salvation isn't a gradual transition from sinner to saved. It's yes or no—we're saved, or we're not. We're filled with God's Spirit, or we're not. We're covered by His love, or we still belong to the world. Salvation is a commitment to Jesus, accepting Him as God's Son, who gave His life on the cross … Continue reading Grace is All We Need!
Never Give Up!
It's the heartfelt conviction of Christians to pray for the salvation of loved ones, yet many of us are discouraged when we don't see any change. We must remember that God sees the big picture, including hidden details that need to be dealt with before the final breakthrough comes, AND that the devil is working … Continue reading Never Give Up!
