Have you made your new year’s resolutions yet? Even if you have, allow me to guide you in them. How about having these three goals for 2019? 1) Draw nearer to God. 2) Be consistent in exercising my faith. 3)Stir another’s love toward Jesus. “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of […]

The visible world is a parable of the bigger and better invisible world. A parable is a physical and familiar device used to describe the spiritual reality which is currently invisible to us. Jesus used these “parables” often. For example, the parable of the prodigal son which describes the father-heart of God. However, I believe […]

“I’m sorry but you will lose it…” A dentist told me about a tooth for which I went to see her. She took some x-rays and told me that I will eventually lose it. It would be the 4th tooth I would lose. I guess I didn’t inherit my mother’s good teeth. She’s pushing 80 […]

God had a choice. It’s either doing nothing and letting us all go to hell, or doing something that would cost Him dearly. It would have been easier to do nothing. He has given us the law, and we failed to live up to it. Therefore, it is right that we suffer the due consequence. […]

The Bible is not the only thing you can look to know how awesome God is. You can also look at what God has made. When God appears before Job and reveals His power to him, He alludes to these things: 1. The earth and its nature. 2. The universe and its stars. 3. The animals […]

Why do so many people believe in the prosperity gospel, which says if you trust in God, He will give you health, wealth, and prosperity in this life? I contend that it is because they want control and a sense of safety. The prosperity gospel (which is no gospel at all) existed long before this […]

Before the year is out, take time to jot down all that God has done for you to remind yourself of His goodness. In multiple places in the Bible, the author remembers how God chose the nation Israel, led her through the wilderness, provided for her even in the midst of her rebellion, gave her […]

How have you denied Jesus this week? You didn’t? Are you sure? Peter denied Jesus without knowing. The religious leaders of Jesus’ day denied God without knowing.
