Hebrew 13:9-10– Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. The writer of Hebrews is conveying to these Jewish believers, that living a godly life by distinguishing what “foods” you should and should not eat […]
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 […]

How a person handles fame says a lot about that person. At the least, it reveals what that person truly values. If he changes so that he would keep getting attention from the people, you know that he values his own self more than anything else. However, if he is still the same person and does […]
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 […]
