The Apostle Paul wrote that the normal Christian life is full of uncomfortableness. Every day modernity seeks evasive Garden of Eden lifestyles of bliss. Heaven will be that good! But here — not so much. Sin has destroyed that for us, for now. We should not be surprised by pain and sorrows. As believers we […]
I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world. Yes!
I really liked this comment by Robert Burns – a good little twist of words on J.D. Farag‘s YouTube: What the future holds: (Read comments at end of this article. I have copied some to the FOR MORE section below.) robert burns 1 month ago: I would rather stand with God and be judged […]
This is natural for us so put it on
Because the true believer is enabled by God through the Holy Spirit (He resides in all who are born again) there is a lot of what is “natural” to us now. But we must “put it on” (verse 12 of Colossians 3:12-17).
Today’s “perilous times” right out of Bible prophecy
We are living in the midst of days foretold by prophets of long ago. Today’s “perilous times” are right out of the prophecies by Jesus Christ, and, the Apostle Paul, Isaiah, Daniel…. Read it and weep – joyfully: for what the Lord Jesus predicted… is happening right in front of our eyes. We are living […]
God takes care of sinners
We all sin. The allurements of the enemies of our soul entrap us with sin, saying, go that way. The message of Christ says, repent, turn this way. “I am the way, the truth, and the life….” We struggle not to sin. So, what kind of sinner are you?
Being wise in a very unwise world during these End Times
People in the world are becoming more and more unwise. Noticed that lately? Absolutely irrational, stupid and foolish. We need more of God’s wisdom from above.
Exposing a dichotomous heart
You do not have to get sinless to get saved, but God does require a fully committed heart. A dichotomous heart is a divided heart – not sold-out to Jesus. A “this-way-that-way-two-sided-heart” cannot be saved. What kind of commitment do you have to Jesus?
Yes I can – I can stand strong
I can stand strong. Yes. “God is my refuge and strength, an ever present help in times of trouble.” – Psalm 46:1
Perilous times are here
Technologies are like putting a blow torch to a fire! Our evil quotient is increasing almost daily, just as Jesus predicted.
The Christian’s mission of love every day
Sharing the blessed hope we have in Christ – THAT is our mission, every day, all day, anywhere, however we can, in love.
Act in love towards all peoples
Based on 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; Matthew 25:41-46; Hebrews 13:2; 3 John 1:5. Acts of love I can do… in Christ: I will be friendly, cordial, and gracious to all people, in all circumstances, even if I am miffed, or feel wronged. I will look-out for anyone being overlooked or ignored, and be gracious and loving […]
Concurring with the Devil
Scary thought: Have you thought of this possibility… that you might be agreeing with the Devil himself? According to the Bible, there are only two major players in the entire universe: God Almighty and Lucifer, God’s mightiest created angel, who wanted to be God, and fell from God’s grace, often called “the Devil”. Are you […]
Why do church
The local church is full of both (1) bible believing, born again believers and also (2) God-damned believers. Both the wheat and the tares are in the mix of those who identify with the Church. But one is not really of Christ. Which are you?
When I find myself in times of trouble, I turn to Jesus
Jesus is our answer in times of trouble. I am learning to cast it all on Him — knowing He cares about me.
Require Justice
Take the pledge for yourself: I will require justice. I will challenge injustice. I will examine myself. And if injustice is in me, I will confess it, repent of it, and change my ways. I will discern right from wrong – make judgements only by Scripture. If injustice is in my family, my neighborhood, my […]
What God Wants
Have you given any thought as to what God wants? What does God want from you? We are each unique creatures birthed into flesh by God. Life happens to us in seemingly capricious episodes of contrasting good and evil. Is your faith a true faith, a saving faith characterized by giving Jesus your love with “all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength”? That is what God wants. Don’t deny Jesus by your deeds.
Jesus will return soon, just as He left
The Bible says Jesus will return soon “in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” 10 While they were looking intently into the sky as He was going, two men in white clothing suddenly stood beside them, 11 who said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? […]
After you have suffered for a little while
Pain and suffering, sickness, dying – it’s all part of the curse of God on the world because of sin, because man chose evil over obedience to God. The Fall of Man brought all of this down on us. It will be done away with by Christ – when we get to heaven. But what […]
First, Apostasy, then Antichrist, then the Rapture
God is about to effect change – big time. He is about to say, It’sssss Time – for change. The Apostle Paul gave us the chronological order of how three events of change will go down in The End Times. Seems clear enough. To me that sort of settles any argument about the chronology of events to come.
Feeling insignificant?
It’s all so senseless looking, worthless, waste – and yet there is one ray of light, a hope for now, today, tomorrow
Even if you die, you will live
For the unbeliever – death is the portal to an instant appointment with The Judge, God Himself. For the believer – death is the portal to Heaven. “Even if you die, you will live”, Jesus said.
Choosing God’s greater wealth rather than passing pleasures
– Hebrews 11:39 “…they gained [divine] approval through their faith“… Moses, Abel, Cain, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Abel, Cain, Enoch, Noah, Sarah, Joshua, sons of Israel, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, the prophets, …women, …others. – Hebrews 11 *Read this chapter of “The Hall of Heroes of the Christian Faith” Do you […]
Staying Alive
The faithful have a faith that is staying alive day by day. Through all our struggles, we keep our eyes on Jesus, saying yes to Him and saying no to sin – following Him by faith.
When we face difficult times in our life
God is my hope, my encouragement, my confidence. When we face difficult times in our life, the follower of Christ finds hope and encouragement in the words of God to us – the Bible. God Himself is our hope, our encouragement, our confidence. “We overflow with confidence in His promises.” Romans 15:4-6 4 For whatever was […]
Do not fear, I will help you
God is a loving God, always with us, never away. He helps us in our time of need. Invisible, Almighty God carries us who follow Him.
At your wit’s end
“On God my salvation and my glory rest; He is my rock of [unyielding] strength, my refuge is in God.” – Psalm 62:7 Amplified Bible (AMP) At your wit’s end these days, with all that life is throwing at you now? Are you at the end of your wit? Well, that’s not hard to do. […]
The Good Fruit List
Wow. I want this. I want this inside my insides, streaming from my soul.
The Apostle Paul’s Criticisms
What’s the difference between a critical spirit – and the Apostle Paul’s Pauline criticisms (or Berean thinking). When is criticism okay?
Your useless way of life
I refuse to live a useless life. You know what I mean. A “wood, hay, and stubble” life (1 Corinthians 3:10-15). How about you?
Love forgives others
Love forgives. Plain and simple. Nothing less. Is your love acting, or “failing”? 1 Peter 4:8 Above all, have fervent and unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]. Got to have it: “have fervent and unfailing love”. Have it. Have […]
