Eternal Security
by Curt Dodd on September 20th, 2025
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. (1 John 5:13) Eternal security is very, very important. You need to know that you know that you know Christ. You need to have confidence that, “There is nothing that you could ever do to earn salvation.” Likewise, “There is nothing you could ever do that would ever take away yo... Read More

Seeking Godly Wisdom
by Curt Dodd on May 31st, 2025
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) Do you know where you get wisdom? You get it from the Word of God. Wisdom is the Word of God applied practically to your life to show you how to live. Therefore, when you accept Christ, you are coming to Him who is completely wise. He has all the wisdom you need to take... Read More

Feed Your Faith
by Curt Dodd on May 23rd, 2025
Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? (Romans 6:16) I love the story of an old Indian chief. He was introduced to Jesus Christ as Lord of his life by a missionary on his reservation. He turned from sin and placed his faith in Christ. M... Read More

Dependence Leads To Peace
by Curt Dodd on November 18th, 2024
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:7Scripture tells us that we are to be dependent on the God who gives peace. True peace is only found when we become God-dependent, not self-dependent. My mind can easily wander into dark places, and it doesn’t take much to trigger my anxiety, especially when I see situat...

Praying To Remind Yourself
by Curt Dodd on September 5th, 2024
You are my strength, I watch for you; you, God, are my fortress, (Psalm 59:9) Prayer is an ongoing conversation with God. Praying without ceasing should be the default position for every believer as they live moment by moment. Many of our prayers are more self-reminders than news flashes for heaven. This prayer is the same. The psalmist is verbalizing in prayer a fresh commitment to the Lord to l... Read More

The End Is Near
by Curt Dodd on July 23rd, 2024
Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (Matthew 24:32-35)... Read More

Do You Love God’s Word and His People?
by Curt Dodd on July 23rd, 2023
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. – 1 John 5:13John wrote his three epistles so that you and I could know without a shadow of a doubt that we know Jesus, we understand the gospel, and we have a personal relationship with our Savior. If you read through first John, the author gives us seven questions to answer. The... Read More

Praying in God’s Will
by Curt Dodd on November 12th, 2022
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him. (1 John 5:14-15)There is a well-known passage of Scripture in the Book of Matthew that says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ...
