When Jesus was here on earth He brought some of His disciples to a mountaintop where He unveiled His glory and met with Moses and Elijah to be encouraged for what was coming. That light of Christ that shone through Him is inside those who follow Him and if we allow His light to shine in and through our lives He can use us to bring others to Himself.

God specializes in using messed up families to fulfill His purpose in the world. When we make a decision to follow Jesus, we can share that with our families and set a precedence for the family we lead. Choosing to follow Him brings us immediately into His family.

The devil’s mission is to steal, kill, and destroy, plotting to keep us from getting out of this world alive. The truth is, there is life after death, eternal life with God forever, but there are so many people that don’t even know about it or think they can have a chance at that life. While we are here, we should be spreading the Word and fighting against the devil’s lies to help get as many peop...

Salvation secures us from being lost forever, separated from God. Once we’ve received it, we can then give up our lives for the sake of following Christ and gain heavenly rewards that we can have to offer Him in eternity.

The Bible very specifically points out the hypocrites who teach one way to live and live themselves in a completely different way. It’s one thing to do the right actions, but it’s a whole other thing with greatest importance to have a heart relationship with God and follow Him so that out of that comes the fruit of our lives.

There are plenty of stories in the Bible of God’s people who felt overwhelmed and wanted to quit the work that God had called them to do. We can all face those times when we no longer want to keep struggling and fighting, but God just wants us to come to Him because He is not done with His work in us.

We can study the Bible all we want, but until we are given eyes to see through the Spirit we will not be able to truly see and know God. In order to grow deeper in a relationship with God we must ask Him to reveal Himself to us through His Spirit in Scripture.

When we first become Christians it is important that we receive pre-digested milk, breast milk, from other older believers. But after awhile we need to learn to nourish ourselves so that we can help feed and grow other new Christians. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The only way that a person can be a truly great leader is if they are already following someone else, most importantly Jesus Christ. We, as Christians are called to be leaders and make disciples, teaching those who are following to do the same. This command of discipleship and leadership must be the focus of the Church, otherwise everything else gets out of focus and does not have much purpose. To...

Knowing the Word of God and believing in it are two different things. When we believe it, God’s power through Scripture transforms our lives and we have hope in salvation and our lives bear spiritual fruit. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

There’s a difference between saying sorry and meaning it only for a short time and being truly repentant for our actions. God always offers grace, mercy and forgiveness, but we need to not take it lightly. When we are convicted of our sin we need to be sorrowful, repent, and change our behavior.

We need to start by believing that God is for us and not against us, then trust Him in any difficult situation.

The Word of God has the power to work in us surgically to expose our hearts and the things in us that are sinful, and His Word renews and redeems us. Rather than running from the Word for whatever reason, we must find ourselves in His Word to live a life of sanctification and obedience to Him.

There are monuments set up to remember soldiers who gave their lives for a cause during battles fought here on earth and it is good for us to remember them. We also must keep in mind that there is a constant battle going on for our souls and Jesus gave His life to win that battle for us if we choose His side.

When we ask God along the way before taking any steps in a relationship, He will guide and direct us to the blessing of marriage the way He intended for it to be.

God’s desire is that everyone would know Him so that we could all live with Him forever. Sadly, not everyone will choose to follow Him, but for those of us who do we can anxiously await our King who promised to come back for us. While we wait it is important that we tell everyone we can about Him so that they have an opportunity to come with us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https:/...

Rather than worrying about our jobs, home, money, family, or anything else, we must spend time worshipping Jesus and knowing Him deeper so that we can be filled with His peace.

When we become Christians, it’s as if we are spiritual babies. As we grow in our spiritual life we reach a point of adolescence where we begin to do things on our own. The more we develop an adolescent rebellious attitude the worse off we are in the Body, but when we continue to grow we can help the Body of Christ be taking responsibility and doing our part in the work together.

Jesus paid the ultimate price for our freedom so that we could get out of the inevitable death sentence that sin brought to us. In order to claim this freedom we must first admit that we are guilty and in need of Him. Once we admit that we are dirty with sin, only then, through faith, can He make us clean.

What we need to understand is that we are not owners of what God has given us, which is everything, but rather we are stewards of it. When everyone gives what God calls them to give, everyone is taken care of. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

When we read the Gospel message that Jesus came to earth, lived, died and rose again, it sounds foolish to believe such a story. However, for those of us who hear that story and put our faith in God because of it, the Gospel changes our lives. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Many people believe that there are many different ways to get to God and that Jesus, as written about in the Bible, is just one way. The Bible is the only true Word of God that points out that Jesus is the only way to God. If we want to be in relationship with God, we must come to terms that the Bible is truth.

There are so many stories of people in history and currently today that have been persecuted for the sake of their faith in Jesus and their unwillingness to relent on that stand. We live in such a cushy culture that lures us into sitting on the sidelines instead of fighting for what Christ called us to. We must be willing to take a stand for Jesus, no matter the cost.
