We have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God. But God, the Father, sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to be our advocate and satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. If you truly believe and trust in your heart, and receive Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, “Jesus is Lord,” you will be saved and spend eternity with God in heaven.
Living the Christian life is not an easy life and not for the faint hearted either. It’s a road laden with never ending problems as we see in 1 Peter 5:8 which says “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” But with the support and the love of Jesus we can overcome any life problems.
When God stopped the flow of the Jordan and the children of Israel crossed the river on dry ground, they were commanded to pick up stones from the riverbed and set them up as a memorial (Jos. 3 & 4). No one, including the unborn generation, was to forget this […]

As the year wraps up in a few hours, it is time to step back and reflect to be better prepared for the New Year. Do not seek to relive the past, whether pleasant or painful. Do not waste time and energy regretting or savoring the past. Take only the […]

The experience of being in a new place where you are different from everyone else and lack the language to communicate can be unnerving. The same is true when we find ourselves in predicaments from which we cannot extricate ourselves. The greatest need in such times is a friend who […]

We celebrate Christmas because of what it signifies. Apostle Paul says, “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst” (1Tim. 1:15). We all must come to the place that Paul got to and claim the […]

Christmas is here whether you are ready or not. How is one supposed to prepare for Christmas anyway? As Christians, Christmas is not so much about what we do, like shopping, decorating, exchanging gifts, visiting family, caroling, and so on. Christmas is much more about stocktaking of our response to […]

When we are thankful for what God has done for us, the world takes notice, as happened to the Israelites, “When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said […]

A good farmer begins by preparing the land and planting the best seeds of whatever crops he wants to harvest. The Biblical saying that you reap what you sow is a law no one can reverse. If you want to reap corn or oranges, you plant corn or oranges. If, […]

“I have nothing against God,” a brother declared. What a profound statement to make! Not many of us can sincerely repeat that statement from our hearts. Although we know God’s character that He is good, Loving, caring, perfect, kind, gracious, and the list goes on, yet secretly, we charge God […]

The facts, first. Death was literarily nonexistent until the fall. Death is both spiritual and physical and separates us from God, our Creator. It was introduced as the sentence for sin. Jesus Christ offered Himself as the substitute who redeemed us and paid in full the penalty for our sins. […]

We ask questions, and everyone does that often because we do not know or understand something or want to challenge a particular situation. Generally, we will not ask questions about things we already know. God is Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent; that is, He knows everything, He is present everywhere, and […]

Two personalities are interested in you, and each of them desperately wants you to serve them. The two personalities are God and Satan. God and Satan are not in competition with each other since Satan is a creature of God and under the power of God, but each of them […]

Independence is a cherished value today. Kids want to do things without the interference of adults; adults, and even seniors do things and are agitated when anyone gives unsolicited advice. Dependence is considered an admission of weakness or failure. In our culture today, where everyone must be a winner and […]

“Be imitators of God … as dearly loved children and live a life of love …” (Eph. 5:1-2). God’s invitation to imitate Him is an unscalable challenge to every one of us. Who can imitate God? We failed the test of keeping the Ten Commandments, and God graciously set them […]
