As Dear Children

There is little in this world that can bring out the joy in a person’s heart quite like a little child. The Internet is inundated with videos of babies and toddlers doing sweet and funny things. I can remember when my daughter was little. Each day was special. Whether it was watching her play with

I Know Whom I Have Believed

When we go about making decisions in our lives, it is good to have confidence that we have made the right choices. That is certainly true when it comes to spiritual decisions. While there may be repercussions for making the wrong choices in secular matters, the consequence of making the wrong choices in spiritual matters

War Has Been Declared

It certainly is appropriate to describe the life of a Christian as one that is involved in spiritual warfare. “This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare” (1 Tim. 1:18). By becoming a Christian, we chose

When God Rejects Worship

What do you think when you hear the word worship? You might be surprised that not every one will have the same thoughts. The word “worship” literally means, “to kiss toward”. In other words, worship should include actions that show my love and affection to God. While there are those who attempt to worship other

Trusting The Lord

Jesus is not your average man. Yes, He is known as the Son of man. That indicates His humanity. Yet, He is also known as the Son of God. That indicates His Deity (John 5:18). It is correct to identify Jesus as God (John 1:1-3). He is one of three that make up the Godhead

How wonderful and encouraging it is when a person chooses to become a Christian. That person has come to the decision that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Also, that person has decided to change his thinking and his life. He is so confident in his faith that he will verbally acknowledge such

Abraham’s Seed

In the course of history, few men have been esteemed higher than the man named Abraham. The Bible states that he was called the “Friend of God” (James 2:23). That was due to his great faith and obedience, which can easily be seen by reading, “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out

The Lord Stood With Me

Sometimes fighting the good fight of faith can seem like a lonely war. Considering that the “few” are the ones that are saved, that means that the “many” are not on the side of righteousness (Matt. 7:13-14). In other words, Christians are greatly outnumbered by those in the world. Unless one has the proper perspective

Three Times

I would like to believe that no matter what man does to me, I will not deny that I know Jesus. I imagine that is how Peter must have felt at one time too. However, Jesus knew better. Before His crucifixion, Jesus explained to Simon Peter, “…behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he

Christ, Our Life

I am deeply concerned that some do not understand the dedication that it takes to be a faithful servant of Christ. It is the Lord, Who said, “…If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Self-denial is an absolute necessity for
