We have an assortment of amazing stories that we can find in the Bible, which all contribute to the overall narrative of God's interaction with humanity.  We find flawed individuals, sinful people, whom God uses to accomplish His purposes.  And, above and through it all, we find that we have a perfect Savior who perfectly executed God's perfect plan and became the perfect sacrifice for our sins.  ...  Read More

We grow in our faith as we allow the Holy Spirit to speak to our hearts through His Word - the proclamation of truth can be a powerful force in transforming our minds, thinking Godly thoughts, rejecting the ideas of the world, and walking in Christ's power.  We should powerfully contend for the truth in our lives.   Romans 10 tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.  In...  Read More

Today is known as Tax Day, the deadline for filing federal income taxes, and where applicable, state income taxes.  And, as it's been pointed out, when we owe taxes to our governing officials, we can actually celebrate God's provision - because He has blessed us with income.  Kinda changes the focus, doesn't it?  And, our taxes actually go into governmental coffers in order to hire employees who w...  Read More

Sometimes it seems that innumerable topics of speech are fair ground and perfectly acceptable in public settings.  But, let a Christian speak about his or her faith, and all of a sudden, there are issues.  Implications.  Loss of livelihood and dignity.  So many subjects to discuss, but one can sometimes be off-limits.  But, we know why, don't we?  They don't want to hear about and accept God's aut...  Read More

We are fortunate as Americans, even though there have been challenges, to have a Constitution that provides for free speech and freedom of religion.  However, there are not only officials in the U.S. but in other countries as well who have a different idea about these cornerstone freedoms.Take Canada, for instance.  As The New York Post published recently, from a Fox News piece: Bill C-9, the Comb...  Read More

Even though we have professed Christ, have been born again, and have the Spirit of God living in our hearts, we are prone to what has been called, "spiritual amnesia." We are prone to forget what God has done for us.  And, I believe that we are in a season in which God is calling us to remember Him - as a Church and as a nation.  We need Him day by day, and we must be careful that the cares of thi...  Read More

The observance of Easter and the events surrounding it give Christians an opportunity to not only reflect on what our Savior experienced for us, but to share it with the world. Realizing we possess the power of the Holy Spirit, we can depend on the Lord to display His glory and truth to His people as we testify to His greatness and love.  In Psalm 40 (ESV), we can read these words:7 Then I said, “...  Read More

God is intent on getting His message out - He has provided His Word for us, and Bibles are available in many nations of the world: legally in many places, illegally in others.  He uses His people to speak to others about Jesus.  And, throughout our nation, Christian radio is a powerful force and available to an overwhelming majority of Americans.  Psalm 67 states:1 May God be gracious to us and bl...  Read More

As people dedicated to Christ, following Him in whatever role He calls us, we can reflect His very presence.  That includes that call to be husbands and wives, mothers and fathers - the Holy Spirit is available to empower us to demonstrate God's strength and guidance and provide strong examples for our families.  Deuteronomy 6 (ESV) states:4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.5 You...  Read More

We recognize that our Savior suffered and died so that in Him we can be set free from the power of sin and death.  Because of sin, we deserved to die, but because Jesus was the perfect substitute for us, He took our punishment on the cross and was victorious because death could not hold Him.  But, the Bible tells us we are not exempt from suffering.  1st Peter 4 says this:12 Beloved, do not be sur...  Read More

It's called March Madness for a reason - players performing at their highest level, clutch plays, buzzer-beaters, and an expectation of the unexpected.  Our lives can seem like sea of madness, with chaos, pressure, challenges, and daily decisions to make, but in the midst of madness, we can abide in the peace that passes all understanding, that comes from the Lord.  Philippians 4 (ESV) shows us ho...  Read More
