Almighty God is our Authority and High Power. He established the government and appointed our founding fathers to write our country's laws ... based on Christian values. Our allegiance is first and foremost to God. Lord, in the face of all adversity, keep us united, free and strong. Romans 13:1-2 - "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth th

Have you ever had an ‘Ah-ha’ moment? When you discover something that has been in front of you all along and you finally see it and grab it? That describes many people’s pathway to God. Maybe you've been saved for awhile and you've strayed away; you know you need to 'get right' with Him ... whatever the case, you know He’s there, you hear Him knocking, yet choose to ignore it, deny it or to simply not answer. The reasons for not answering usually boil down to a feeling of unw

When you think about blood, what comes to mind? Many people associate blood with pain or injury, but blood is not only essential to our physical life, it's essential to our spiritual life as well. Blood=Life. Just as there is no substitute for blood in the human body, there is no substitute for Jesus and His gift of shed blood for our spiritual birth into life eternal. The shed blood of Jesus is the atonement for our souls; without it, there would be no remission of sin, no a

The Bible tells us that when we are born again (spiritual birth), we are the Temple of God and His Holy Spirit dwells in us. Before Jesus ascended back to heaven, He also told his disciples that God the Father would send the Holy Ghost to teach us, and that we should walk after the Spirit, not after worldly things. John 14:26 - “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembr

If you are a Christ-follower, you’ve probably heard about the Mark of the Beast. God's true Word says the mark will be IN the hand; many versions (NKJV, ESV, NIV, NASB, CSB and most others) change the word “in” to “on.” In 2014, Pat Robertson’s 700 Club FALSELY told listeners that the new microchips inserted in the hand for identification are not the “mark” of the “beast,” because they are not ‘on’ the hand, but ‘in’ the hand. God's Word ... there are so many different 'versi

Our youngest child is getting married today! What a joy to marry your best friend, with a lifetime of love and memories ahead! In the Bible, marriage is used to represent the union between God and his people. Isaiah 54:5 - “For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.” Ephesians 5:25 explains how the marriage union represents the love of Christ to His children, the same l

Christ-follower, don’t bear your burdens alone. Tell Jesus your trials. He will help you … He cares for His own! Philippians 4:6-7 - "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." When worldliness calls, when you're tempted to sin, call on the name of Jesus. Tell Him your troubles.

When the clouds roll in and you can feel the winds try to shake you; when you feel the waters start to rise, Christ will set your feet upon a rock so you won’t be moved. Fear won't hold you when your feet are on the Rock. Psalms 40:2 - “He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.” When you feel your hope about to break, cling to our Saviour’s unchanging grace. Soon you will see the morning Light a

All my life, God has been good! Whether I'm on mountains high or valleys low, He's been good. Friend, God is for us, not against us. Let's hold to the plans He has for us. When we're broken, He will help us if we just call on His Name. Knowing this truth makes me want to sing wherever I go! Romans 8:31 - “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Psalms 104:33 - “I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God

Got your bases covered and your destiny in control? What are you gonna do when you hit a slick spot in the road? Turn to Jesus. He’s been waiting for you. Repent and confess, Jesus will do the rest. He will set you free and make you new. 1John 1:9 - “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” When you become a spiritually born child of God, you are a child forgiven! Your soul will be set free! You’ll b

T-G-I-S … Thank Goodness It’s Sunday! Has it been a rough week? Are you looking forward to meeting with God, hearing a message from His Word, worshiping Him and praising His name? Take some quiet time alone in prayer and prepare your heart for an encounter with God; grow in intimacy with Him so you will always be ready to share the hope of Jesus with others! 1Peter 3:15 - “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh

Is fear screaming out your name? Are you feeling like you’re losing the fight and wondering if God is even listening? Don’t lose heart! Others have wondered the very same thing. Psalms 66:17-20 – “I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy fro

Christ-follower, do you ever find yourself dreaming, wondering about what heaven will be like? Do you long to breathe the air of heaven, the place where pain is gone and mercy fills the streets? Imagine how amazing it will be to finally look upon our Lord and Saviour Jesus! There will come a day when all will bow before Him and death will be no more. Romans 14:11 - “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God

All too often, we're quick to point a finger and judge things from our point of view. And oftentimes what comes out of our mouths causes trouble. Proverbs 21:23 - “Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.” It is wise to watch what you say; life will be ‘good-er’ if you do. 1Peter 3:10 - “For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:” Everyone has weaknesses and makes m

It is doubtful that we can fully understand the Love of God. God’s Love is ‘agape’, a sacrificial love that voluntarily suffers inconvenience, discomfort, and even death for the benefit of another without expecting anything in return. Christ-followers are called to agape love through Christ's example. Ephesians 5:1-2 – “Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrific

Jesus is my everything, He is my ALL. Here’s a powerful reminder - “Christ is the Bread of life; He is the Rock of salvation, and His promises are as honey to pious minds. But those who reject Him as their Lord and Master, must also lose Him as their Saviour and their reward.” ~Matthew Henry Psalms 81:13-16 – “Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 15T

Psalms 139:14 - “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” The Supreme Court’s recent opinion recognizes that “abortion presents a profound moral question” and “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion.” They ruled to “return authority to the people and their elected representatives.” The world seems to want Americans to think the Sup

Christ-followers, are you and your children ready to stand with God and His Word? Are you ready to stand and proclaim the law of Love and liberty? The Bible is our Constitution; The Word of God is our Decree (declaration). We stand upon the Rock ... Jesus Christ. 2Samuel 22:47 - “The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.” Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee and we beg Thy blessing upon us, upon our families,

Everyone has days or times when they feel all alone, but if you are a spiritually born child of God, You are not alone! Don’t believe the deceiver … don’t let worry and fear have a hold on you! God said He wouldn't leave you, and He won't! He’s right by your side ... He’s your Protector. Psalms 91:1-6 - "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in hi

Ever wonder what it must have been like to be Mary, only a young teen at the time, to give birth to the Saviour of the world? She might have prayed these words to the Father: "I have traveled many moonless nights, cold and weary with a babe inside, and I wonder what I've done, Holy Father, for You to have chosen me to carry Your Son? Do You wonder as You watch my face if a wiser one should have had my place? But I offer all I am for the mercy of Your plan. Help me be strong."
