A Solution That is The Problem

by PH

Have you noticed this curious habit of human beings? When facing problems, we often turn to the very thing that caused the problem in the first place. For example, an alcoholic loses everything because of his addiction. He then turns to alcohol to ease his pain. A woman is sorrowful over her obesity. And yet […]

As 1 devotional-true boldness

by LD

Good morning everyone, 2 Corinthians 3:11-12-For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory. Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, If you were to define your personality would "bold" come to mind? Usually we associate boldness with "loud" or "theatric", […]

Still Only Asking God for Stuff

by PH

One way we know our children are growing up is when they ask, “Mommy (Daddy), what do you want me to give to you?” When they are little, they never think of giving their parents something, but only receiving. My children at 6 and 4 have not yet asked me that question. I guess we […]

The Cost of NOT Following Jesus

by PH

Jesus said some very uncomfortable things. Such as we must deny ourselves if we are to follow Him. Or that we must lose our life in order to save it. Or that we must walk the narrow path. Or that we are to love Him more than we love our children or spouse. Or that […]

As 1 devotional-How patient are you?

by LD

Good morning everyone, 1 Thessalonians 5:14-And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. One of the most consistent tests of our faith is living a life full of patience. Day in and day out trying to exemplify a heart and mind that does not […]

The Way to Heaven

by PH

Every religion has one thing in common. The concept of heaven. Whether it’s called Nirvana, Enlightenment, or Celestial City, they are all referring to this ideal state after this life. Christianity is no different. We believe in heaven just like all the other religions do. But there is one difference. That is, in Christianity, the […]

Unfairness of God

by LD

In my haste out the door this morning, I forgot to post this devotional until now… There is certain unfairness about our salvation. I’ve been a Christian since age 17. I never drank, never smoked, never slept around. I stayed pretty clean all my life. And yet, someone who’s been living like hell, who used […]

As 1 devotional-A “valentine’s type” of love for Jesus

by LD

Good morning everyone, Matthew 13:20-21-As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. If […]
