  • Ephesians 6:17-20 – The Whole Armor: Helmet and Sword Pt. 1

    And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in ope...
  • God Is Working for Your Good

      Even in the middle of your hurts, habits, and hang-ups, God is watching over you. When King David says, “Surely your goodness will pursue me,” he’s not saying, “Surely only good things are going to happen to me!” He knew as well as anyone that bad things happ...
  • God’s Love Is Always with You

    Like goodness, God’s unfailing love follows us in life. King David says it pursues us! Picture a parent following a little kid around and picking up after the child. When we’re struggling with hurts, habits, and hang-ups, God comes right alongside us, helping to pick up our messes and...

  • How Do You Forgive?

      Nearly 60 years ago, five American missionaries headed to the rainforest of the eastern Amazon in Ecuador to make a second visit to the Huaorani tribe, which anthropologists said was the most vicious, violent society on the face of the earth. They had a culture of killing, and studies show...
  • Forgive Because You’re Forgiven

      The Bible says there are three reasons you have to let go of your past and the people who’ve hurt you, and the reasons have nothing to do with whether that person deserves it or not. You have to forgive those who’ve hurt you because God has forgiven you. Colossians 3:13 says, ...

  • You Don’t Have to Forget

    “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28 NIV). You’ve heard this phrase over and over: “Forgive and forget.” There’s only one problem with it: You can’t do it...
  • Your Life Is Shaped By Your Thoughts

      “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think” (Romans 12:2a NLT, You cannot become all God created you to be until you understand the five factors that influence your identity. The first two are chemistry (how you are made) and connections (your relatio...
  • A Proud Father

    You are a child of a proud Father (1 John 3:2; Matthew 3:17), not of the “Disappointed-Dad-in-the-Sky”. You are in Christ and not under condemnation (Romans 8:1). Therefore, do not continually return to your sin out of shame. Don’t run from the Father and hide from him because you ...

  • Mercy Not Sacrifice

    In Matthew 9:13, Jesus says to his disciples, “Go and learn what this means; I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” The Jews of the Old Testament had many rules about what was required in case they sinned. There were specific sacrifices r...

  • God’s Love

    Defining love is difficult. It is emotion, action, thought, feeling all rolled together and prioritized above everything. True love like that of a parent for a child will stop at nothing to protect and care for the other. This is what is so powerful about the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 8:3...

  • A Deeply Personal Relationship With God Will Bring Healing!

    Many people who are suffering from unhealthy behaviors and emotions can see how they began to develop earlier in life, often during their childhoods. Perhaps they were raised without a strong parental background. Or perhaps they grew up in an abusive situation. Maybe they have a past, which continues...
  • Light In The Darkness

    Are you afraid to go in the basement with the lights off? Or take out the garbage late at night? Most of us have an inherent fear or uneasiness about the dark. Isn’t it interesting how with the lights on, the same basement is not scary, and there is no fear walking down the driveway in the day...
  • Burying the past

    As God no longer associates us with our old sins, so should we put the past behind us. With our old sins now buried in the grave, as pictured by baptism, we should not go back and dig them up. Considering the symbolism involved, this would be akin to grave robbing. For some, such grave robbery in t...

  • Jesus Christ’s perfect love and sacrifice

    The incredible truth is that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Even more amazing is that God loved us when we were still sinners; we were still under the death penalty when He...
  • How is sin forgiven?

    Sin is the transgression of God’s sacred law (1 John 3:4, KJV). The penalty we all have earned for sinning is death (Romans 6:23). This cause-and-effect relationship is absolute and automatic. The penalty of death must be paid. We cannot jump out of a 10-story building, futilely trying to bre...

  • The Bible

    Just a little informationThe bible is written in 2123 languages, the old testament was written in Hebrew, and Aramaic. The new testament was written in Greek. It is the most published book and more bibles are stolen than any other book. Although it is impossible to obtain exact figures, there is li...
  • Leaving guilt behind

      Thankfully, God does not keep a scorecard with good deeds on one side and bad ones on the other. Our slate is wiped clean of every sin if we confess and repent of our sins and ask for His forgiveness. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleans...
  • Forgiveness of Sin

  • The Devil has already lost

    The Devil has already lost. But the Devil is trying to take as many with him as he can, apparently just to hurt God. And however much the Devil succeeds in doing this, God hurts -- like a parent does over losing a child. This sort of spite is very much in keeping with the Devil’s character. Sa...

  • Understanding this Book of Books p2

    We live in an age of skepticism, and we live in an age that is lacking in truth. Let’s face it - many people do believe in God, and to believe in God, that in itself is a major step of faith. There are many people who are atheists, and don’t. To believe in God is one big step, but let&rs...

  • Build Each Other Up

    Do you know people who always have something positive to say about everyone. While they are bringing up the most favorable things about everyone, they are making themselves look good at the same time. In Romans 14:19 Paul says, “So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build e...
  • Grace

    “Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16 NIV) Grace means God’s doing for us what we can’t do for ourselves. The Lord promises us this help just when we need it in an...

    (Lk 15:1-7) "What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?" In the parable the shepherd goes out to search for one sheep--the very least that can be numbered. So if there had...

  • True Repentance and The Purpose of Confession

    Repentance in the Bible means turning back from the wrong faith to the true faith, and for the righteous, it means acknowledging one’s wrong doing and coming back into the light of the gospel. If you are a sinner now, you should make a confession like this. “Dear God, I have sinned and ...
  • Forgiveness

    Jesus had much to say about forgiveness. In the practical, everyday spiritual warfare we all experience we are wise to know the Jesus’ words. His words give us unshakable confidence that Satan and his demons can have no part of us when we stay anchored to Him.   I have not come to call ...

  • Who shall separate us

    Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35, 39
  • You do not have to show off.

    In Matthew 6:1, the Lord says, “Be careful not to carry out righteous deeds to show off to other people. Otherwise, you will not be rewarded by your Father, who is in Heaven.” This means we should not show off our righteousness to others in our religious life. These words are for both th...
