Don’t Elevate Your Spouse to God
When people fall in love, they often say to each other that they will never ever hurt each other and never break each other’s hearts. I’ll just say right now… Don’t make promises to your partner that you can’t keep. The reality is that you WILL hurt them at some point (especially if you […]
Auld Lang Syne: The Past Is Behind You
The song “Auld Lang Syne” originated in Scotland, composed as a light-hearted drinking song. The lyrics celebrate reminiscing with old friends the memories of the past, sharing a drink for good measure. Nostalgia can be an enemy to growth, because if we revel in our past we cannot let go. As Christians we should […]
DOGS AND SWINE
Matthew 7:6: “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” In Matthew 7:1-5, part of Jesus’s famous Sermon on the Mount, the Lord tells us not to judge others in the sense […]
THE BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF INCLUSIVITY
One big topic in today’s politically correct, morally corrupt landscape is inclusivity. According to secularists and apostate Christianity alike, inclusivity means accepting people regardless of race, gender (or lack thereof [!!]), religion, or sexual orientation—unless you are a Bible-practicing Christian or white or both, of course. The very fact that such discrimination exists means […]
Resurrection Day
“Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.’” — Matthew 16:24-25 reveals that death makes us […]
Peace of Life
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27 Having faith in everything but Jesus is like being on life support pleading for someone to pull the […]
Die to Your Desires
Sometimes we desire things that are not of God, however God often places certain desires in our hearts. How do we know which of our desires are of God and which ones are not? If we are intentional about submitting ourselves in the will of God, we shall pray that the Lord’s desires become […]
Ascension Day: The King of Kings takes His Throne
In Hebrew numerology the number forty represents a probationary time, or a time of trials. To the Jewish people, this numeral is sacred and means a new age or generation will follow 40 years. In fact, a full-term pregnancy is a duration of 40 weeks (about 9 months) and that is indeed a trial. […]
REMEMBER THOSE WHO ARE PERSECUTED
1 Thessalonians 5:17: …pray without ceasing,… Hebrews 13:3: Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2: Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, […]
CHURCH THEATER
2 Timothy 4:1-5: I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they […]
Love makes the World go Round
Problems occur everyday. It’s hard to go a day without ever coming across a problem. Problems are hard to solve but it’s easy to dodge them. Within this whole week, I can’t imagine a moment of time where I didn’t have a problem. I understand the meaning of ‘life happens’. You can have […]
Confessions From The Girl Who “Has It All Together”
Don’t underestimate the support that your “good kids” need. Don’t forget to be an open ear to the ones that make good grades, the ones that are over-achievers, the ones that “do everything right”, the ones that “have it all together.” Often those are the ones that struggle with imposter-syndrome and depression the most. […]
Are you a Fisherman or A Fisher of Men?
When you think of a Fisherman, does a rough and rowdy sort come to mind? I used to think of men that cuss like sailors and sing a shanty as they drink. They spend their days casting nets and comparing their catch of the day. But today, I see that fishing takes great patience […]
THE TESTIMONY OF NATURE
Many people, even a number of believers, are so busy with their lives that they seldom if ever take time just to notice the trees, the grass, the clouds, the sun, moon, and stars—nature itself. Secular science has turned the story of nature into a litany of lies about evolution and a collection of […]
PERSECUTION
In the United States, for a long time it was usual to think of persecution as something that happens in other countries. Many thought that persecution of Christians would not happen here in the land of the free and the home of the brave. In the past several decades, however, this attitude began to […]
Listen
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice. Proverbs 12:15 As people we have to always look to the Source, God, for what’s right and what’s wrong. Not look to this world, not YouTube, not your job, not social media. While it’s […]
Breaking Free From People Bondage
The definition of bondage is “the state of being a slave.” One of the privileges of being saved by the Lord Jesus Christ and a child of the most-high God is that we have the power within us to be set free from bondage. Since I began law school nearly two years ago, the […]
Chasing the Serpents into the Sea
What is the difference between a disciple and an apostle? A disciple is a student under a schoolmaster, and an apostle is a student that has graduated and is sent out (chosen) by the teacher to share wisdom through the knowledge they gained, to do works by faith, and to establish churches (Ecclesia) along […]
Are you a Believer or a Fan of Jesus?
In the Holy Bible there is mention of woman that touched the hem of Jesus’ garment for healing, three different parts of scripture in the book of Matthew and Luke are told from a different perspective. Luke 8:43-46— “Now as a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all […]
APPLYING THE WORD OF GOD
Psalm 119:105- Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. In this well-known Scripture passage from the Psalms, the writer is, in plain terms, extolling the benefits of the Word of God. Clearly he has seen how to live a life that is pleasing to God by […]
