Did you know the Bible says that when we were born, we were born into the devil's family and are all born sinners? Adam and Eve were the first sinners and since that time all mankind are born into sin. That means if you were to die today, without salvation through Jesus Christ, you would go to hell for eternity! But Jesus has a gift for us! He came to this earth, suffered and died, and rose again on the third day as payment for our sins. The only way out of eternity in hell i

It’s Friday! What are you doing this weekend? If a good movie fits into your plans, we recommend one of our favorites … 'Courageous'. Originally released in 2011 and now re-released with updated scenes, look and sound, this action-packed movie celebrates families and fathers. As four police officers face challenges on the job, they come to realize their number one job of fatherhood is the most challenging of all. The Bible is clear that the man is the head of the household, a

Fear. The word ‘fear’ appears in the Old Testament 307 times and in the New Testament 78 times. God knew we would be fearful so He gives us the assurance that He is our Rock, our refuge, our strength. If we are in Christ, we are safe in His arms. That’s not to say we won’t have trials or troubles … but if Christ-followers ask Him, He will carry our burden for us. Psalms 55:22 - “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to b

Songs are important to God … He put a whole Book of songs/Psalms in His Word. Singing praises to our Lord is something we will take into eternity with us. Our God is worthy to be praised! 2Samuel 22:4 - “I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.” Psalms 18:3 - “I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.” Notice the same verses (almost exact) from different Books of the Bibl

Life has many uncertainties and variables, making mistakes inevitable. Fortunately, there are some things you can learn from making a mistake, such as: reveals to us something we didn’t know helps us figure out what matters and what doesn’t teaches us more about others helps us value forgiveness invites us to make better choices There is nothing wrong with making a mistake as long as you learn from it and you don’t let it define you. Once you make a mistake, be determined to

Do not steal! If only one of the ten commandments were followed completely and by all, it would likely lead to world peace. The eight commandment is simple: Exodus 20:15 – “Thou shalt not steal.” This ultimately means: · Do not steal another’s life, · Do not steal another’s belongings, · Do not steal another’s freedom, · Do not steal another’s spouse, · Do not steal another’s dignity, · The list goes on and on, but simply put? DON’T

It’s Sunday. Is today your ‘holy day of obligation’? Time to put on your happy face and go listen to the preacher so you can feel good until next Sunday mornin’? Yeah, yeah, Jesus died for our sins. But let’s get to the part where God will prosper me, give me strength, and always be there for me? (After all, it’s about ME, right?) Friend, if you are gathering with the church because you think it is all about you, then don’t waste your time. Sure, Jesus died for YOUR sins and

Ask people if they believe in God and many will tell you “Yes, I believe in God.” Ask them if they are saved and many will also say, “Yes”, yet they have no concept of God’s plan of salvation or the sacrifice that Jesus paid to save them. It is not enough to believe in God (the devil believes in God!) and you don’t get to heaven without repenting and confessing that what you truly deserve is hell! Sanctification is an event, not a process. Tell me about God’s plan of salvatio

Do you have the courage to say, “I believe?” The power of paradox opens your eyes and blinds those who say they can see! Believe the unbelievable and come be God’s fool! When we in our foolishness think we are wise, God plays the fool and He opens our eyes. When we in our weakness believe we are strong, He became helpless to show we were wrong. Writer: Michael Card The way of Jesus doesn’t look wise to the world, but He is the best judge of who or what serves the purposes of

Ask anyone, “What will heaven be like?” and you’ll get a variety of answers. Of course, God, Jesus and the angels will be there. But the most important question is, “Will you be there?” The Book of Revelation tells us the walls of heaven will be of jasper and garnished with precious stones; the foundations of the walls were layers of precious stones; and the city and streets will be pure gold, like clear glass. There will be twelve gates, each made of one pearl. (Read Revelat

If you were to describe Who Jesus is to you, what words would you use? Who is He to you personally? The Book of Psalms (in the Old Testament) is a collection of lyrical poems by multiple authors. The psalms, or songs, encourage us to praise God for Who He is and what He has done; they illuminate the greatness of our God, affirm His faithfulness and remind us of the absolute authority of His Word. Some of the psalms name the author in the first line or title. David was respons

2Corinthians 12:9a - “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Ephesians 2:8 - “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” Once in awhile you need a song with a catchy tune that just makes you joyful, HAPPY! Today’s song is just that … so hit “PLAY” and dance in your chair or your car or wherever you are and sing at the top of your lungs. If you’ve got Jesus in your hea

The old saying, “Home is where your heart is” is certainly true from the spiritual standpoint. The Holy Ghost lives in Christ-followers, and Heaven (where God the Father and Jesus live) is our eternal home. Our hearts should be fixed on our Lord and Saviour and where we will spend eternity because this world is temporary, fleeting; we are just traveling through. But sometimes we get weary, beaten down from life’s storms. Friend, that’s when we need Jesus the most. Keep your e

Almighty God is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing) and omnipresent (always present), which is difficult for us to understand because He is spiritual and we are physical. The Bible records the promise of God’s presence and Jesus dwells in the hearts of spiritually born believers and believers dwell in Him. It is through Jesus we have access unto the Father. So how do we find God? Seek the Lord: With a pure heart and clean conscience 1John 1:9 - “If we confess

Are you one of those “C&E Christians”? You dress up nice and make your way into the church building on Christmas and Easter? You toss a buck or two in the offering plate because you feel guilty (that’s all they really want is your money, right?). But you leave feeling pretty good! and you vow to make it back again next year. Or maybe you’re a “shelf Christian” … you attend church service fairly regularly because that’s what you’re ‘supposed to do’ on Sunday; but at home, you

Who is Jesus Christ? Only the One True Authority, God’s Word, can define Who Jesus is, but in a nutshell, He is Christ, the Son of God. ‘Jesus’ (‘Yeshua’ in Hebrew) means ‘to deliver; to rescue’. ‘Christ’ (‘Christos’ in Greek) means ‘the anointed one’ or ‘the chosen one’ and the Hebrew ‘Mashiach’ means ‘Messiah’ … so Christ is really more a title than it is a name, although the Bible uses it both ways. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died on a Cross for ou

The celebration of ‘Easter’ is soon approaching, the day Christ-followers remember the sacrifice our Lord and Saviour made on Calvary’s Cross and was raised from the dead three days later… Resurrection Day. The world looks at ‘Easter’ differently … the Easter bunny comes and brings baskets of candy, and weather permitting, there’s an Easter egg hunt outside … some people might even make their semi-annual appearance at a Christian service, wearing their ‘Sunday best’ … it’s a

Here in America, you place your hand on the Holy Bible when you swear to tell the truth. God’s name is on our greatest monuments, and all our money too. When we pledge allegiance to our flag, there's no doubt where we stand. There is no separation, we're one Nation under Him. In God we still trust! He's the one we turn to, He’s the source of all our strength. 2Timothy 4:3-4 – “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall the

Russia’s invasion on Ukraine has been devastating, and is impacting the whole world. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been painted by many as the most evil man in the world. The suffering and death of innocent people because of his desire for power and control is inexcusable. There are even numerous accounts of Russian soldiers surprised to learn they had been sent to war! The Bible tells us in the end times, there will be wars and rumours of wars. Matthew 24:6 - “And ye

The apostle Paul often used the analogy of running a race when he was teaching. As Christians, we are running a spiritual race. In Acts 20, Paul is speaking to the leaders of the church in Ephesus, telling them how important His ministry for the Lord is and he wanted to finish his race strong. In 1Corinthians 9:24, he reminds the church at Corinth that everyone runs in a race, but not everyone wins. Not everyone understands it is a spiritual race we're running. Christ-followe
