What is the Biggest Test in Your Life?
"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." James 1:3-4 All of us have tests in life; things that occur that test and try us. For some, it's the test of patience and waiting. For others,...

There is a Blessing on Those who Believe
"Jesus said to Thomas, 'You believe because you've seen me. Blessed are those who haven't seen me but believe.'" (John 20:29) Doubting Thomas, like many bloggers here and people in the world, had a really hard time believing. If things didn't fit the category of "rational" according to his mind, he...

They were only asked not to do one thing. "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of...

Does God Listen to Prayer?
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him" (1 John 5:14-15). Of course God listens to prayer. He also answers prayer, but many times we...

Be Direct and Honest with God
"Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn't a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn't think of such a...

Can You Change those Around You?
“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and rich in love.” Psalms 145:8 We sometimes get frustrated with those around us. We seek to change them to make our own lives more comfortable and convenient. Did you know that becoming a better listener and not reacting out of fear and anger...

Preparation for Eternity
“ And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2 Critics of religion and spirituality often like to poke fun at Christians because of their view that...

THE CALMING
“How gracious he will be when you cry for help.” Isaiah 30:19. During times of stress and anxiety, there is nothing like finding your center and remaining calm. Truly, nothing can be solved well when in a state of panic or stress. It's best to let things settle down before making any and all...

Don’t Waiver in Your Hope
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23 We may be tempted to waver, to doubt, and almost give up, but we are advised to "hold fast" to our confession of hope. This hope isn't built on what we can do for God, but what God has...
