Let Go And Let God

When Jesus walked the earth and preached, he spoke about love–the need to love our God, love one another, and love ourselves. Next, he talked about forgiveness. Forgiveness is a vital part of our Christian faith. Unfortunately, many of us hold grudges against others who may have harmed us in some way. As Christians, we are obligated to forgive anyone who may have hurt or harmed us, but we are not...

People have many excuses for not going to church. Whether they find it boring, dislike themusic, or get nothing out of it, attending church is still a requirement in our Christian faith. Thegood news is, there is a simple solution. In many cases, the problem isn’t going to church itself,but rather going to the wrong church. Just like with restaurants, clothing stores, or supermarkets,it’s simply a...

When it comes to greed, it seems that no matter how much a person has, it is never enough; they always want more. Those who genuinely believe that owning the most expensive home, driving the most luxurious car, and wearing only designer clothes made from the finest materials equate to success and bestow a sense of power are mistaken. True happiness is achieved only when we are loved and appreciate...

Each of us will achieve many accomplishments in our lives. When we accomplish something, it’s perfectly fine to feel happy, but first, we must thank the Lord because everything we achieve in this life would not have been possible without the Lord granting us life and blessing us with the unique qualities that define us. Before we allow pride to take over, we need to “Drop the Ego." In the Christia...

Most of us, while navigating our daily lives, tend to concentrate on what we want, what we lack, and what others possess that we do not. We rarely, if ever, consider what we have; worse yet, we neglect to thank the Lord. We all have many reasons to be grateful, yet we allow our minds to dwell on negative thoughts about our deficiencies and overlook the importance of appreciating what we do possess...

Jesus is always there for us 24/7, and we can reach out to Him through prayer anytime we wantabout anything on our minds. He also watches over us throughout every day of our lives. Whenwe accept the premise that “Jesus watches us all the time,” we never feel alone, we never doubtourselves, and we never worry about dealing with a problem or making a difficult decision. Because Jesus watches over us...

All of us face difficulties in our lives. The truth is, we are meant to experience challenges. It is how we strengthen ourselves, and in many ways, it’s also how we strengthen our faith. However, what we don’t typically see is that “with difficulty, there’s opportunity” because we focus strictly on our challenges, often missing the bigger picture. When faced with difficulty, we should reach out to...

As Christians, we have all been blessed with a magnificent tool to use, and that tool is prayer. But just like any tool, we have to use it properly, or it will not work. We hear too often people saying things like, “Oh my prayers are never heard,” or “I tried praying, but it was just a waste of time.” We must ensure our prayers are heard—not by yelling, but by being 100% focused on what we are pra...

The phrase “Walk with Jesus” is a powerful concept to embrace. Simply put, it means keeping Jesus with us in our lives at all times. When we feel Jesus' presence, we truly experience a profound level of ease, happiness, and peace of mind. We know that when Jesus is with us, there is nothing we can’t handle because the Lord is there to help and guide us. Tune into this podcast and let Art explain h...

Too many of us get so caught up in the day-to-day routine that we never take a moment to appreciate the gift of life that the Lord has given us. We wake up, race to work, put in a full day, race home, have dinner, maybe rest for a short while, head to bed, and start the next day over in exactly the same way. The truth is, one thing is seriously lacking: we don’t enjoy our lives; we simply live our...

Each of us enters this world with a mother and a father, and many of us have siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Our relationships with our families can vary greatly; some of us are very close, while others may feel distant. It's common to hear about disputes between siblings or to have an aunt or uncle who isn't liked by the family. However, as Christians, God’s laws and commands are clear: we...

We all have moments when we make judgments about others. We assess how someone is dressed, how they behave, what kind of car they drive, and other superficial aspects. While this tendency might seem minor, it often escalates when we share those judgments with others, which quickly turns into gossip. Both judging and gossiping are not only inappropriate but also contrary to Christian values. The ke...

As humans, we all have doubts. We doubt ourselves, we doubt others, and at times, we doubt our faith. Doubt can lead us to negative emotions such as worry, stress, or fear. But when we are doubting something, we have a choice: we can allow our doubts to consume us, or we can turn to Jesus. Tune into this podcast and let Art share with you how, as Christians, we can eliminate our doubts by turning...

"Do Unto Others as We Would Have Them Do unto Us” is the Golden Rule and, in many ways, is the basis of our Christian faith. Unfortunately, most Christians do not think about it, primarily because they are caught up in their busy lives. Imagine what the world would be like if we all lived by the Golden Rule. Tune into this podcast and let Art share his insights on how we, as Christians, can incorp...

We often hear the phrase, “Keeping Jesus in Our Hearts.” But what does it truly mean? Essentially, this phrase serves as a metaphor. Simply put, when we make it a habit to reach out to Jesus through regular prayer, His presence becomes close to us. In this way, we are effectively "Keeping Jesus in Our Hearts.” Tune in to this episode of “Let Go and Let God,” where Art explains that embracing this...

Being a Christian is not an easy path; it is a choice we consciously make. Once we make that choice, we are obligated to follow the laws and commands of God. If we only follow certain laws and commands that suit us, we risk practicing a “Do-It-Yourself” religion. Unfortunately, our Lord does not recognize those who take this approach as true Christians. Tune in to this episode of “Let Go and Let G...

In today’s busy world, we face numerous temptations that can be overwhelming. The moment we go online, we can easily access websites related to gambling, pornography, and opportunities to cheat on our spouses. Throughout the day, we may encounter temptations to steal, embezzle money from the office, take advantage of someone, or engage in behaviors that are unacceptable according to our Christian...

We all experience moments of worry. Some people worry very little, while others worry quite a lot. Worry is an emotion, and it can be challenging to manage. Whether you are concerned about an important job review or whether your mortgage refinancing will be approved, those who tend to worry often find themselves unable to stop unless they learn to "Worry Less, Pray More." Instead of letting worry...

Throughout our lives, we’ve all heard stories of individuals who went to their graves refusing to forgive a relative or friend for the wrongs done to them. We’ve also encountered those who say, “Hell will freeze over before I ever speak to that person again.” However, if we choose to live a Christian life, there is no room for refusing forgiveness to those who have wronged us. But what should we d...

Loneliness is a challenging emotion to navigate. When it is temporary, we typically move on without giving it much thought. However, when loneliness lasts for an extended period, it becomes much harder to cope with. We may feel lonely for various reasons, such as living alone, losing a spouse, or relocating without family or friends nearby. Regardless of the cause, the feeling is the same: a deep...

What brings enjoyment from hearing unkind words about others? We chuckle at stories about the overweight janitor whose pants are always too tight. We laugh at comments about the secretary with a very dated hairstyle, and we smirk when we hear about the teacher who comes to class every day dressed in the same suit. Why? Because we are “Giving into Gossip.” What’s sad is that gossip can be fun and e...

We have all heard the phrase, “Being Empowered by God,” but what does that really mean? Empowerment involves being given the authority to act, but when we are empowered by God, we are not only instructed to take action; the Lord makes it happen. Once He commands it, there is no stopping it. Tune into this podcast as Art explains what it means to be empowered by God and how, as Christians, we are e...

As humans, we are all unique and lead different lives. Each of us has been blessed by our Lord with talents, attributes, opportunities, and many other qualities that enable us to live the lives we have. Unfortunately, we often take these blessings for granted and focus more on what others possess that we do not. As Christians, it is essential for us to express gratitude for what we do have. Tune i...

As Christians, we are all "Ambassadors of Jesus." In the Bible, the term "Ambassador" refers to an official representative of a king or government. Jesus is the King of Christianity and the Son of God, and as His followers, we are called to embody His teachings and principles. Join us for this podcast where Art will explain what it means to be "Ambassadors of Jesus." Discover how, by embracing thi...

Our faith does not have to be complicated. While it is true that there are 613 laws and commands from God, we really only need to focus on five key ones. Tune into this podcast as Art discusses how we can be good Christians by “Keeping a Simple Faith.” Discover what these five important commands are and how to apply them in our daily lives. Join us for this episode of “Let Go and Let God” to explo...
