The Bible is unwavering in explaining to us:
The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 14:2 Israel was selected as the nation of God: to deliver the message of salvation to all the peoples. Continue reading
hate – noun intense or passionate dislike
True hate is a dark emotion. To hate is to abhor, detest or loath. The heart of a hate filled person has usually been cultivated by some form of hate to themselves, which is what enriches the hate seed to grow. Students can learn to hate school at an early age because their elementary teachers are condescending instead of encouraging towards their work.
Families learn to hate others who look different, because elder members display contempt and distain for “those people.” Religious members may feel threatened, thus propagate hate, when they do not understand another’s beliefs. The word hate is increasingly scattered, fertilized, and grows uncontrolled in our day-to-day communication expressions. Continue reading
Our November election finish line is fast approaching. The 2015-2016 primaries remain far behind. The GOP Convention currently finishes this evening in Cleveland with Donald J. Trump being nominated as the Republican candidate.
And the Democratic Convention quickly follows in Philadelphia from July 25-28, where Hillary Clinton will accept their nomination.
There are those that believe Church and State should be kept far apart. I believe God gave us governing authorities for many reasons, though we are to always remember and acknowledge who reigns supreme. (And isn’t it a blessing in America we get to vote in our leaders?) Continue reading
Spending eternity in heaven (versus hell) is the goal all Christians aspire to. I certainly don’t want my eternal home to be a place of turmoil. Matthew 25:46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
I definitely desire eternal life over eternal punishment, don’t you? Continue reading
It helps to understand the necessity for thankfulness to our BIG God, by acknowledging the differences between Him and our little gods.
Our BIG God sent His Son to offer us salvation from sin. We are not saved from sin by living a “good life.” No, we are saved only through faith in Jesus Christ and the blood that He shed for us on The Cross. This is a truth that creates our BIG God. Continue reading
Accounts in the New Testament reveal the Good News being shared with mankind. And because Jesus conquered death through His resurrection, the Apostles now explained there is a new way to lead a God-Centered life. But the question at hand was: Why should the Jews and Gentiles desire to experience this new God-Centered life over their old established God-Centered life?
They must of had many questions about this new religious way of life.
Let’s see how the Bible answers these questions.

Big sales are happening this week-end encouraging customers to purchase gifts for Father’s Day. While my earthly father lived, I bought him items he wanted that matched his hobbies. But as I think about my heavenly Father, what can I give Him that He truly wants? Continue reading
Jesus was looked upon as a “Teacher” (John 13:13) during the last three years of His life on earth as He purposefully taught the Word of God to many peoples. But it is the fact that His teachings were extremely bold that should inspire us to make a clear decision about who The Man really is. Referencing Him as one who teaches does not measure up to the Truth of His being; and this simple acknowledgment will not secure for us our inheritable heavenly eternity. Continue reading
