A REBUTTAL AND A MARVEL
You sometimes may hear a fellow believer say, “The Bible says that in the last days you won’t be able to tell the seasons apart.” With all the hype about climate change, this statement seems to have gained in popularity in the last couple of decades. But where do people get this from, and […]
The Battle of the Mind
Sometimes the thoughts we keep stored in our minds can lead us to sin, we overlook those thoughts because no one can hear them and we quickly try to brush it away or get stuck at what to do. Some of you may even get afraid because you’re aware that God is listening and […]
Earthly Parents and Our Heavenly Father
Parents: You are not God, so don’t even try to be. I’m going to start this out really matter of fact: You WILL fail your kids. You WILL let them down. You WILL disappoint them. You WILL hurt them. Humble yourself before the Lord and accept that. Every Christian knows that we, as humans, […]
Church is a Sanctuary NOT A Social Club
A Sanctuary is defined as a safe space for non-secular practices such as praise and worship. Boundaries are drawn to separate the ways of the world from the ways of God. Although a church goes beyond brick and mortar, the Bible includes strict plans of how a church should be constructed including the dimensions […]
OUR IDENTITY IS IN JESUS
So many times, people define themselves by what they do for a living or what they do for fun. Others find their identity in what people say about them or in mistakes they have made. For those like myself who have a criminal record, identifying with the things that have been said about me […]
FOR THOSE WHO WILL NOT REPENT
God’s love is phenomenal. His mercy is great. That is reassuring to know. But the Lord also knows that there are people whom, no matter what He does to reach them, just will not repent of their sins. They continue to drink, fight, curse, carouse, practice sexual perversion, endorse abortion, practice racism, steal, rob, […]
Set the Record Straight
This life is a journey we must all endure. We were all created with a capacity to overcome. We are all born champions. I look at the little children who have overcome cancer. Their little bodies can’t handle the pressure of a disease such as that but yet one day victory is theirs. And […]
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 […]
