Are You Starving?
All of us know what it's like to be hungry. You get that sensation or need for food. What if you only ate once a week? Would that fill you up and satisfy your hunger? No. Eating should be done daily to feel physically satisfied. The same is true on the emotional and spiritual levels. You must...

A Walk of Faith
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 Faith is one of the most powerful substances in the world. It's what creates change in one's life.

COME LET US REASON TOGETHER
"Come let us reason together." (Isaiah 1:18) God calls us to reason with Him. He created us with both logic and with emotions. He understands our need to understand things and our need to discuss problems. Reason is a tool of the mind. One does not suspend reason to believe in God, anymore than one...

The Call to Love God
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” (Matthew 22:37) Love unites us to God. Hatred is like a cutting force that separates us from God. Jesus Himself compares hatred to murder. This is because Jesus can see where the seed of hate ends....

The other morning, I got an email from someone who asked: "I want to ask you a question, how to pray effectively and ask God for Miracles then miraculously get what I want?" The question shows that this...

COMING OUT OF DARKNESS
Many people live complicated lives and have, themselves, become complicated emotionally and psychologically. As a result, layer upon layer builds up around them, like a net; trying to get to the heart of that person can sometimes be tough. The layers, after time, form walls and few people can bring...

FINDING MORE TO LIFE
“I am going away to prepare a place for you.” ( John 14:2 ) As all of us get older, we seem to be racing against time. There is a feeling that something isn't finished yet that we must accomplish, but most of us don't know what that "something" is. As some examine their lives they can’t help but...

IS THERE A WAY TO KNOW WHO IS SINCERE?
We all meet people who claim to be believers or followers of God, but is there a way to know for sure? The Bible tells us, "By their fruits, ye shall know them." Judging a person's heart isn't right, but you can often know a lot about a person through their actions. I believe love is the strongest...

Do not be Anxious for Tomorrow
"Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. The Lord's loving kindnesses indeed never cease, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness." Matthew 6:34 As we stop to examine our...
