Faith is central to the life of a Christian.  We must believe that God is the creator of the world and the King over all creation. But we must also believe that Jesus is Lord, and that God has raised Him from the dead. Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord […]

I had an uncle who told everyone he met “I love you”.  He was sincere and felt that we often don’t tell those close to us that we love them.  In reality, we should love everyone we meet.  God loves everyone in the world so much that He sent Jesus to the earth.  John 3:16 […]

As we travel through life, we can be proud or we can be humble.  We are taught to be clothed with humility.  1 Peter 5:5-7 “Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for ‘God resists the proud, but gives […]

We have a wonderful, marvelous God.  He loves us.  1 John 3:1 “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” He is for us.  Romans 8:31-32 “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? […]

There is a spiritual war going on within us and around us. Ephesians 6:10-12 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against […]

All of us have within ourselves the conflict between the flesh and the spirit.  The apostle Paul wrote about this conflict in Romans 7:21-23 “I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.  For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.  […]

As a Christian, you are a follower of Jesus Christ.  You have made Him your Lord and you seek to do His will.  But you find there are times when you do contrary to His will, and other times when you don’t do the good that you know you should.  Well, don’t feel alone.  Every […]

Our God wants us to depend upon Him for strength and not upon ourselves.  I am not talking about physical strength but strength in character. In many societies, independence and personal strength is seen as a virtue.  As Christians, we also want to be strong, but our strength is not in ourselves but our strength […]

As Christians, we all have faith in Jesus Christ.  How did you come by your faith?  Someone had to tell you about Jesus and share with you the word of God.  It could have been your parents or a friend or someone at a church you attended.  I have heard of some who found a […]
