There are those who believe the Church prevents them from eternal damnation and there is some truth in this belief. A sincere adherence to the doctrinal tenets of the Bible will save those who follow its teaching. However, there must be sincerity in that belief system. We shouldn’t attend Church to get a get-out-of-jail-free card. We must develop a sincere relationship with Jesus, not for the purpose of taking out a Fire Insurance policy, but because we truly love hIm

It seems like the more we lean on education, the more we become devoid of wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to make sound decisions through knowledge and experience. We don’t need to be extremely intelligent to be wise. We just need to draw on experience and sound judgement, and this judgement and experience come from what has been instilled inside us.

To know God is to fear Him. This fear does not mean to be terrified of Him, but to be in awe of Him in a profound way,

Do we think of ourselves more, or do we think of ourselves less?  To be united with Christ, we must be self-less.  We must think of ourselves less when considering others. 

When we are united with Christ it brings about a solidarity that is true to the nature of God. God wants us to think of others more than we think of ourselves. It brings about humility and shared spiritual values. 

We want to be Christ-like, therefore we should show tenderness and compassion toward others

We should never take things for granted. We have a powerful enemy that is in every aspect of our lives. The enemy comes “…to steal, and to kill, and to destroy..” (John 10:10) the works of God. We are God’s handywork, and because of this, we are targets.

We must Pray without fail. Prayer changes things and it changes situations, so we must continue to pray without ceasing.

James tells us, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16b).

When we confess our sins, the Bible says that “He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9). We must maintain a relationship with the Lord and study His Word and be with other believers, to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Spiritual Power can come when we are around like-minded believers, when we pray together, something extraordinary happens. It says that God inhabits the praises of His people. “Where two or t

When things get complicated, we may have a tendency to want to stop because of the difficulty that is being experienced. Giving up has never been an answer to a solution. It is through consistency that great things are accomplished. The harder the challenge, the deeper the satisfaction; and the stronger the sense of achievement.

“God did not give us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and self-discipline.” (2 Timothy 1:7) With the help of the Lord, we can scale any m

Most people are struggling to find their purpose. We can live our entire life seeking what we are here for. Some resort to mind expanding drugs trying to gain insight into what their purpose is.

We all are here for a purpose. Finding that purpose is a deep search into what God has set aside for us to do. We are not here to do our own thing. We are not free to determine the direction of our fate. Our direction is determined by God. He directs us in whatever we do, f

The reality that the Blood of Christ has the power to forgive sins stems from the Mosaic Law. Once a year, the priest was to make an offering of the blood of animals on the altar of the temple. This was done for the sins of the people. Heb. 9:22b says, without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. The Blood of Jesus was the ultimate life giving sacrifice that permitted all sins for everybody to be forgiven. The sacrifice of animals provided a temporary coveri

When we decide to follow Jesus, we are not accepting a life of comfort and ease, free from hard work or major worries. To follow Jesus means to deny yourself, and take up your cross, and be a disciple of Jesus. Jesus’ disciples were mocked, talked about, slandered for their beliefs. And they were told to love their enemies, do good to them that persecute you.and pray for them that spitefully use you. Following Jesus is difficult. It means to let go of this life and pr

We all have experience and have been surrounded by pressure from all sides as we journey through life. We have no notice that these unwanted hardships are coming, they just appear seemingly out of nowhere. These difficulties and hardships that come upon us suddenly and unexpectedly, gives us a true reality that in this world we will have tribulation, but thanks be to God that He has overcome the world. So we rest in our troubles because He who we Trust has

I often wondered how Obedience is better than asking for mercy and forgiveness for some trespasses we did or for walking contrary to God’s law. When we sin, it says in I John 2:1, that we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. Roman 8:34 says that He sits at the right hand of the Father forever making intercession for us. Hence, when we sin our sins are covered because the blood that Jesus shed was for the propitiation of our sins. If we do not sin a...

We often wonder about eternal life. Those who are striving to inherit this life wonder if they are doing the right things to achieve eternal security. This eternal life is given to us who trust Jesus. We can’t buy it, we can’t work for it and we can’t take it. It is a Gift.

To receive this Gift, we must follow Jesus and accept Him as Lord. Jesus is Lord and Savior, He saves us from our sins. He redeemed us from sin so that we will have the gift of eternal life. Matthe

Sometimes we have a problem following Jesus’ commands. He asks us to do things that seem puzzling, and He does this without any reason why. To have Faith in Him, we must have Faith in His Word. If He said do this or do that we shouldn't question His motives, “Just Do It”.

Jesus encountered a man born blind. He exercised His Messianic powers and spat on the ground, made clay out of the saliva and anointed the blind man's eyes. After he had done this, he ordered the man to w

Have you ever been in a difficult situation, where the walls are closing in around you and there is no escape? We pray and pray and God is silent. There is no help from anyone and our closest friends have turned their backs on us, and we are all alone. Do we doubt God? Do we say God has forgotten us or He is not concerned about us?

God wants us to stand on His Word. He is The Great I AM, The All Knowing, All Loving God of the universe. He will never leave us nor forsake us.

I have tried mightily to understand why so many people are being unalive by other people. We have no right to take another person’s life into our own hands and to do away with it. This act of malice does not come from the Creator. Jesus wanted us to follow a new commandment. He said that we should love one another as He has loved us. It may be a level of hate that has risen in our society that has consumed us and taken over our Godly way of thinking.

There is so much ki
