OUR EARTH IS VERY YOUNG
I'm not a scientist, but have read both sides of the controversy regarding creation versus evolution. I'm a creationist and believe God created the earth in seven literal days. I accept this by faith, as well as by evidence. Years ago I read a fascinating book by a physicist named Robert Gentry on...

DO YOU PRAY OR CARE FOR YOUR "ENEMIES?"
I've never considered anyone my "enemy." I have had issues with certain people who took offense to me and acted like enemies toward me, baffling me the whole time, but I've never gone around making those around me my enemies. I like to consider everyone around me my friends. I may not believe as...

DO YOU WORSHIP A FALSE GOD?
"How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?" Psalm 4:2 Often in the Bible we read warnings issued by God and His prophets to the children of Israel and to God's people who are worshiping false gods. In contrast to false gods, we have the "only true God." God calls Himself a "jealous God,"...

IF WE TRULY UNDERSTOOD GOD'S LOVE FOR US, WE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT PEOPLE
Friday and Saturday I had the privilege of hearing an excellent speaker named Ty Gibson, founder of Lightbearers Ministry. His sermons were annointed and he was able to bring the love of God through his presentations. As I listened, I couldn't help but realize that I do not fully grasp God's love...

WHAT PLEASES GOD?
What does it mean to be a man after God's own heart? This was a title given to David, in the Bible, yet David was an adulterer. Still, God saw past his sins into his heart which he knew wanted to please God. David had faith. Abraham walked with God, but in one instant he lied when asked if Sarah was...

DO YOU REALIZE YOU WERE WONDERFULLY MADE?
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." Psalm 139:14 God is the Creator and we are told in the Psalms that we are wonderfully made. The complexity of the human body amazes me daily. We have such resilence. There are so many details in the body that point to God's love for us....

IS YOUR SOUL AT STAKE?
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36 There's apparently the chance any one of us could gain the whole world, or material possessions in the temporal, and yet be lost in the end. I realize that some people don't believe anyone is lost in...

IF GOD IS LOVE, WHY AREN'T WE MORE LOVING?
Something I've noticed in my life of faith is how God continues to work on my heart and mind, as well as the circumstances around me to better shape me into what He wants me to be. In so doing, He reveals His ultimate character of love to me. God is love. This is the title used in the Bible to...

WHAT DOES GOD WANT FOR YOUR LIFE?
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Philipians 4:8 As I...

WHERE DO YOU FIT IN?
"He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy he will save." Psa 72:13 God's compassion for the poor and needy is strong and sure. When Christ was on earth, He spent His time with those who had the greatest needs. His compassion led him to reach out to those who had been...
