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 […]
Have you ever been so into someone or something that you didn’t care what others thought? Maybe you were in love and your friends were making fun of you, but you couldn’t care less what they thought? Maybe you were working on a project that consumed all your energy and time including sleep and food? […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.

If […]

Good morning everyone, John 1:14-And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. I had the privilege of seeing a young man this weekend playing basketball who I couldn’t recognize because he may have been […]
Have you been immobilized by choices? Certain important choices were laid in front of you and you didn’t know which one to choose? Isn’t it ironic that what we suppose will give us freedom actually ends up binding us? Do we not think freedom is having a choice? Doing what we want when we want? […]
What is it about our culture that is so afraid of getting old? We are obsessed with looking young and feeling young – cosmetic products, diets, plastic surgeries, photoshops, etc. We like nothing more than a stranger mistaking us for someone much younger… To the world, this is only natural. Getting old is equated with […]
