If you have ever wondered how Christians could believe that a little old grandmother who sacrificed her whole life for her family but did not believe in Jesus would still end up in hell, it’s because you do not understand the concept of sin. You probably think sin is doing something bad. But it is not. […]
Is it possible that we have missed a miracle (or miracles!) of God right under our nose? Perhaps in things that we thought, “I guess she wasn’t that sick,” or “What a coincidence!,” or “I don’t understand how that came through!” Jesus did miracles at times that seemed not to be miracles but of natural causes. Jesus […]
Isaiah 6:9-10–And he said, “Go, and say to this people: “‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ 10 Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; I think we all had a time where we listened to the same instructions over […]
If Jesus was not good for your business, would you change your business? Or would you ask Jesus to leave? When Jesus commanded demons to go into nearby pigs, they committed mass suicide. And those who made a living raising those pigs suddenly lost their source of income. If you didn’t know, it was unlawful […]

Do you feel hungry for the word of God? Does the word of God (either written or preached) feel like food to your soul or something that you have to endure? I was talking with a young lady and she was commenting on how she believes only a few in evangelical churches are truly saved. […]
Isaiah 53:3–He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Today my family will celebrate my closest aunt’s life in a funeral service in Detroit, Michigan. What the Bible calls the “sting […]
I am reminded everyday, actually several times a day, that I’m a sinner. Without Christ, I have no chance of ever being accepted by God nor be received into heaven… It is not false humility in attempting to earn your sympathy. I’m telling the truth. My heart knows that I’m a sinner deserving death and hell. But when […]
Matthew 10:34-36-“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. If we consider all the turmoil […]
