  • Thank God for Unanswered Prayers!

    I am so glad that God will overrule my prayers at times, because I have prayed for things fervently, believing they were the will of God, and they were flat-out wrong. I am so thankful that God said no to those prayers.

  • He Knows

    God can actually use persecution and hardship in the life of a Christian. Jesus said, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you . . ." (John 15:18–20).

  • A Promise No Christian Wants to Claim

    Persecution shows itself in many ways. It can show itself in the martyrdom of a believer. It has been estimated that since the early church was formed to this present day, millions and millions of Christians have been martyred.

  • Have You Lost Your Light?

    Awhile back I went to Starbucks with my friend, Marty Goetz. And Marty ordered a low-fat, decaf latte.

  • It's a Big Deal

    In Revelation 2, Jesus warned the Ephesian church they had left their first love. We may wonder, Is it that big of a deal to leave your first love? It is not as though the Ephesians did something really bad, such as murdering or stealing or committing adultery.

  • The Patience of God

    The Lord's seemingly slow reaction to sin often puzzles believers. Why doesn't He immediately punish those who violate His principles? The succinct answer is found in 2 Peter 3--the Lord is patient so that all people have an opportunity to repent (v. 9).

  • A Full Life

    How should I live my life on this earth? What purpose does God have in mind for me, now that I have received His Son Jesus Christ into my heart?

  • An Everlasting Love

    We may think sometimes that we must do certain things to merit the love of God. But what we need to remember is that the love of God is consistent, and it is persistent. God says, "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you" (Jeremiah 31:3).

  • As Good As Done

    I am amazed at how people will get all worked up over something like the Mayan calendar or will listen to some self-proclaimed prophet or guru, yet they will neglect the Bible, which predicts the future not once, not twice, but hundreds of times with 100 percent accuracy.
