What is the point of praying if we almost never get what we want? Honestly, how many things you have asked for were given to you exactly as you have asked it? Maybe they would’ve taken place whether you have prayed or not? Such questions are natural. I’ve asked them myself. There wouldn’t be satisfying […]

John 9:2-3–And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.   Our human nature is so curious to know the reason “why”, […]

Do you go to God to get things or do you use things to get at God? The question is similar to: Do you work at a job to provide for your family or do you use your family to get better jobs? I don’t think anyone would like the answer, “I use my family […]

In reference to the recent mass shooting:  (Continue praying for our nation, and the tragedy of Satan blinding eyes to think we don’t need Christ more than anything else!)   John 6:66-68–After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.67 So Jesus said to the Twelve, “Do you want to […]

David was not chosen because he was righteous. He became righteous because God chose him. If we do not keep this distinction in mind, we muddle up the gospel and we become moralistic. God did not search throughout the earth and found the “man after His own heart” in David. God’s choosing him made him […]

2 Corinthians 13:4–For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God. If you think about the reason why pride is held onto by many of us, instead of allowing […]

As Christians, we must CHOOSE to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in ALL circumstances. We Christians alone have the option of rejoicing when things look bleak, of praying when we feel alone, and of giving thanks when things don’t go our way. That’s because we know this world isn’t all there is. There […]

John 1:49-50-Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” From my experience, the gratitude that has been shown to me from […]

I hate what this day represents. And at least on the surface, it feels like evil has won out. Rather than celebrating All Saints’ Day on November 1, we are celebrating Halloween. Rather than celebrating the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day, we are celebrating a big fat man with his reindeers. Rather than celebrating […]

Exodus 20:20-21–Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin.” 21 The people stood far off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was. If you had time while your parents were […]
