This is a day when we remember when our nation was attacked - 3000 of our fellow human beings lost their lives on American soil. Many were injured - physically. Scores of people injured spiritually at the loss of loved ones and co-workers. First responders whom we depend on to keep us safe put their lives on the line to save others. It was a gruesome chapter in our nation’s history. And, quite fra...  Read More

The Bible addresses how God has established nations and borders. In fact, the Bible talks about the exaltation of nations due to righteousness. He has also established civic authorities and entrusted the Church with praying for these authorities. We can love our country, recognize God’s purpose for our nation, and make sure we are loving Him first and more deeply. Scripture Passage: Acts 17:24-27...  Read More

We can be convinced that the demonstration of the love of Christ can affect human hearts to the extent that they will turn to our Savior. If we are walking in the power of the Spirit, allowing the Holy Spirit to walk and work through us, that Spirit - the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead - will make an indelible impression on a person’s heart. What a tremendous opportunity to be conduits...  Read More

As Christians, it’s important that we are confident in the Lord and convinced that the way of the cross provides the most excellent principles upon which people can build their lives. When we adhere to the teachings of Jesus, that means that we believe that His way is the only way to salvation. There are many who claim to hold the way to God, but those ways they embrace are truly counterfeits to B...  Read More

If we have been born-again by Jesus Christ, if we have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior, then we have a testimony, a story of what God has given to us. The spiritual reality of being saved, experiencing the new birth is a divine work in our hearts. And, even though it’s a common experience believers share, for each of us, we have come into it in different ways. And, with that testimony, we are ...  Read More

God has ordained the family not only from a biological standpoint, but ideally to provide a setting through which blessings can be transmitted to one another and a family legacy transmitted to future generations.  In a time in which families are feeling enormous pressures and family relationships have become fractured in so many instances, we can seek to recapture God’s purpose for our family rela...  Read More

The Bible teaches us about building our lives on a strong foundation. If we have been born again, Christ is now the foundation for our lives, but we have to be careful what influences we allow to dilute our faith or outright mislead us - that can happen if Scripture is not our guide. We hear a lot about deconstruction these days, which is the result of outright deception. We might think about reco...  Read More

We are described in Scripture as “a people for his own possession,” meaning that belonging to Christ will certainly make us different. You will find the word, “peculiar,” in the King James Version to describe the distinctive nature of the body of Christ. We have to be faithful to discern good from evil and make sure that the way we live our lives shows that we are unique. Scripture: 1st Peter 2:9-...  Read More

I believe that the Lord has given each of us something to say and has given us a voice with which we can accomplish His purposes.  That may be the spoken word, or it could be writing, or simply the way we live that communicates powerful Biblical truth.  We can depend on Him to speak and move through us....  Read More

Jesus doesn’t just want to make your life better - He desires to make us new. When we asked Him to be our Lord and Savior and were born-again, the old person, who we used to be, died, and we now have a new life in Him. He calls us in Ephesians 4 (ESV) to put off the old and put on the new. After we are saved, He undertakes a massive renovation process, building us up from the inside. We can depend...  Read More
