Actions and Words
on January 2nd, 2024
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (James 2:... Read More

Building Men Over Memberships
on January 1st, 2024
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey eve... Read More

Communing With God
on December 31st, 2023
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. – James 4:8Many Christians today tend to focus on the externals rather than the internals of our spiritual lives. We get things upside down and that creates much confusion and frustration because we tend to focus more on serving God than communing with Him.If there is no intimacy with the Lord in your life, then the purpose of God in and through your...

Lean on God in Uncertainty
on December 30th, 2023
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5) When you are in the middle of a season of uncertainty, and have more questions than answers; do you find yourself wondering where God is in the midst of it all? Maybe you ask questions like, “God, where are you?” or “Do you really and truly care about me?” or “What are you trying to do?” Feelings of doubt, fear, and anxiety often ... Read More

God, Fix It
on December 29th, 2023
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. (Galatians 6:7) When your heart gets heavy and there is pain in your life, we pray, “Oh God, take away the pain. Take away the pain, now.” Sometimes, the answer to that prayer is different from how we want it. I really believe there are people who are reading this today, who are going through a desperate situation. They ar... Read More

Praying Instead of Worrying
on December 28th, 2023
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7) As I watch our country vibrate with all kinds of decisions that are being made and look at what is happening globally, I am heavy at... Read More

Faith In The Midst Of Trials
on December 27th, 2023
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” - Hebrews 11:1Let’s say you owe $100,000 and you went to your bank. You sat down with the banker and said, “I need $100,000, Can you take care of this issue?” The banker says, “Sure, I will be glad to loan you $100,000.” This is not a trial because you have a solution. If he says, “No, I wouldn't loan you 10 cents, bu... Read More

Working Out Your Faith Muscle
on December 26th, 2023
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. - James 1:2-4How do you build muscle in your body? You exercise, right? You work out. You push through difficulties and discomfort to strengthen th... Read More

Jesus Is the Messiah
on December 25th, 2023
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6) One of the greatest debates in human history has been whether or not Jesus is the Messiah. The word “Messiah” means “anointed one.” It is the description of the individual who the Jews were expecting to usher in the redempti... Read More

Wisdom in the Bible
on December 24th, 2023
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. (James 1:5)The Bible makes it very clear that if we ask for wisdom, the Lord will grant us wisdom. This is one of my favorite promises in all of Scripture. When we pray for wisdom, we can’t just expect God to grant us wisdom. We need to do our part. The best way for us to gain wisd... Read More

The Gift of Jesus
on December 23rd, 2023
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped. Rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. (Philippians 2:5-7) The word “doxology” comes from two Greek words, one which means “praise” or “glory,” and the other one which means “w... Read More

The Name of Jesus
on December 22nd, 2023
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, which means the Lord saves, because he will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:20-21) As soon as ... Read More
