We can not reach God on our own. But God, for some unfathomable reason, reached down from His heavens, and made a way for us to reach Him. Jesus left His lofty realm to become a common man, reaching into our world through birth as a baby. By this, He provided a way to bridge the vast chasm that separates mankind from Holy God.
Imagine This
Imagine this: You yourself are observing God from a special vantage point, seeing things onfold – back in the day…. The God of All There Is, on His throne, governing all that exists, all of which He Himself created, has just created the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve. Your ancestors. And they […]

Ambassadors
An ambassador “represents” something or someone or some belief. God has us here to represent Him. Who you representing?
Our Dying and Death
The Bible tells us that God determines the number of our days. When it is His time, He takes us home. Our death date is already known by God.
A New Creation
Can you explain to someone else what the Bible requires for salvation? Paul wrote to make sure we know.
Who We Are
Who we are matters. What we say we believe, matters less. This is easy to understand. In a court of law, does it really matter (at all) that the killer says he did not do it, if the dead body is found with his DNA on it and three credible witnesses say they saw him […]
Imagine Your Evil – Unrestrained
The Holy Spirit restrains evil. For now. But the day will come when those restraints will be loosed.

I’m Cool With That
I’m cool with that…but, is God? You want to be cool with that, or cool with God?
Only God Himself
Only God Himself is real. All other gods are a sham – not able to save you from your sins.
The Importance of Evidence
Evidence of the truth of the gospel of Jesus is presented to us in many ways. If you fail to grasp a hold of the truth, it is only because of your failure to look and believe. The evidences are all over the place! If it happens right there in front of you – do you believe it? However, something that happened before we were born – has to be shown to us by evidences. What does it take for you to believe something is true?
Don´t Let It
We do not HAVE TO let sin reign over us. If you are born again, the next basic choice is to choose to sin or choose to obey Jesus.
If I Were To Let Sin Reign In My Body
If I were to let sin reign in my body, then — what a mess. But I don’t let it. I am not “these things”. I am strong in Him. Only in Him.
