Living Faith

We are blessed and have so much to be thankful for. This Veterans Day show your thanks to those who have sacrificed so much, and while you're at it take a moment to that God for His abiding presence in your life as well!

Have you ever wondered how many there are around us who speeding down the road of life, without giving even a thought to what is waiting around the corner? Probably more than we realize.

We’ve probably all learned that most of the time things aren’t really as bad as we might make them out to be. When pain comes to our lives, it’s never more than we can bear, when we are asked to face difficulties of various sorts, we never have to do it alone.

Sometimes we can get so enamored with the world that we forget who we really are...children of KING!

Everybody is looking for something...but are you sure you are looking for the right things?

There is no doubt that winning and losing is important, but what never discover is that the criteria for winning is far different than many realize!

In our spiritual journey we have no GPS indicating heavy traffic and detours. We don’t know how much further we have to travel. We don’t know the day or the hour that we’ll come into the presence of God, but we do know the direction—through following Jesus.

All too often we allow the peace that God brings us to be disrupted by the circumstances of life. For some reason or another we seem to forget that God, the One described as Almighty, has our back.

As a Christ-follower, I know that my decisions, all of them, have in more ways than I often realize, far-reaching implications. More so than anything else they paint a clear and accurate picture of who I really am.

It’s true that 21st century man has demonstrated an insatiable desire to know more, to experience more, to be more it isn’t working. Despite all the advances of our world, there is a restlessness continues to dominate both the heart and mind of many.

Sometimes we may feel ashamed when we are reminded that that God sees everything about our lives, but in spite of whatever we might have in our past God wants us to know that He loves us and that His forgiveness is for us

Jesus came to make forgiveness and eternal life possible for everyone, no matter who we are or what we’ve done. He came for the broken and the lost because God loves all of us the same.

Skeptics of our faith in Christ have been with us every single day since the time of His resurrection. But we take great comfort in knowing that even a world full of skepticism what they say doesn’t make the truth any less true.

Jesus called on His followers to let their light shine before men, but how do you do that? The answer may be easier than you think. And it starts with just being who you are.

Ever had someone in your life that you just couldn't forgive? The story of Chris Carrier might make you think otherwise.

Jesus said we are the light of the world, a light that is so powerful that it can stop the forces of darkness in its tracks. Is it shining in you?

We might sometimes think we need a superhero to rescue us from our enemies, from unforeseen calamities, even sometimes from ourselves, but wouldn't we simultaneously want our hero to be someone with whom we can identify?

As we move closer and closer to the end of this age and the attacks on God’s faithful by the forces of evil grow stronger and stronger it becomes imperative that the character of Christ is seen in each of us.

Although most people probably wouldn’t say it out loud, deep down there may be more than a few who think of God is out to get them, just waiting for them to mess up so He can meet his divine quota for punishing sin.

Frequently questions relating to knowing God’s will come to our minds. Answering that is not as easy as you might think, because people are looking for something more than clichés or some pat answer.

Have you ever noticed how everybody seems to be chasing something? It might be a job, or someone’s attention, or some kind of creature comfort—it doesn’t matter what it is, we all have something that we keep at the forefront of our mind because it is a priority for us.

This is God’s fight, so we faithfully stand in God’s strength, with God’s armor, and we can stand firm because we rest in the Lord.

How many times have your actions been geared toward currying favor, rather than being your response to someone you love and care for?

The Greek philosopher Plato (who lived 400 years before Jesus) said, "we can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark, but the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." I think he was on to something
