Hope Is An Anchor

Hold on… pain ends! HOPE!

As long as we are anchored to Christ, we have hope. Hardships and trials may rock our boat but never our foundation… if Jesus is the bedrock.

The presence of hope in the invincible sovereignty of God drives out fear. ~ John Piper

If our hope in Christ has weakened, you can be certain the enemy has been at work. Doubt and fear will fill our hearts if hope wavers. If you…

Walking With Fear

“Sometimes fear does not subside and one must choose to do it afraid.” ~Elizabeth Elliot

I would like to say that my faith is so strong that I am never afraid, but that would be a lie. Some circumstances in life have caught me off guard and I permitted fear to hinder my faith. Panic and stress are excellent at ushering in feelings and chaos. The death of my mother, a recent job loss, and my…

Why Memorize Scripture?

There are many reasons why Christians should memorize Scripture. What first jumps into my mind is our desire to know the one we love. In worldly relationships, we want to spend all of our time with a newfound friend/love. We seek out ways to deepen the bond and build intimacy. This means a relationship requires an investment of tim

The Bible clearly states that the Word (Scriptures) is God.

We Are The Fragrance Of Christ!

When God created Adam and Eve, I believe His intention was to give them the capacity to enjoy the world He had created. The garden they were placed in probably had numerous fragrant flowers and plants, which must have provided incredible aromatic pleasures. God finds pleasure through the five senses, which He loving built into us.

The words of the Bible draw us to Christ in many ways, including…

Prodigals

Luke 15 speaks of God’s forgiveness and unconditional love in three different parables. The story of the prodigal son is as applicable today as when Jesus first spoke it to the scribes and Pharisees complaining about the company He kept.

“Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, ‘This Man receives sinnersand eats…

Is There Salvation For Man’s Tongue?

Close up of a tongue that is on fire.

Everyone has a problem with words at some point in time. Emotions get the best of us and reckless words spill out. A lack of self-control, impatience, or a focus on self is certainly fuel that can spark an unhealthy fire.

“Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a…

God's Voice

God’s Voice

The Bible tells us that believers can hear the voice of God. We recognize it, not so much as an audible voice but as an inner knowing. We perceive and grasp when our Master speaks.

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10:27 (NKJV)

Man cannot intellectualize or emotionalize the Gospel. It must be received and understood spiritually. Through faith, we enter into…

What Love REALLY Is

As Valentines Day draws near, the tradition of giving flowers, candy, or a card is probably on your mind. But what is love, really? Is it a box of chocolates, a special meal with a sweetheart, or something more? What did Jesus teach us about love?

When we read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a, we come to understand that LOVE has specific characteristics, which are demonstrated by godly deeds (thoughts,…

Does God Forgive And Forget?

Does God forget all of our sins once we have confessed and repented of them? Several Scriptures mention that God casts our sins from His sight and blots them out. Hebrews 8:12 even says He will remember them no more.

“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Hebrews 8:12 (NKJV)

“As far as the east is from the west, so far…
