When writing his letters throughout the New Testament, Paul always identifies himself as an Apostle, called by God. This is found throughout the New Testament with James, Peter and Jude, as well. Everything they write about from there on out is based upon their identity of Christ.  You can build your identity around any number of things today. But, there is real power in a God given identity....

Are you experiencing JOY in your life currently? One way we can have more JOY is to look at how a poor widow lived. Looking at Mark 12:41 Jesus observed people put money into the treasury.

She loved God and truly gave the mo...

In Luke 13:1-5 Jesus was asked a series of questions. He didn't get into a theological discussion. Rather, he teaches us about repentance. The lesson we get from Old Testament punishment or current suffering is not why is God so unfair. It is about what it mean for you to repent. Jesus is a holy judge and while we all deserve death for our actions, He gives us mercy and grace. The challenge for us...

What comes to mind when you think about loving others the way Christ calls us to? When you think about this do you think about caring for the less fortunate and lonely?

This is what Jesus did and what He encourages us to do as well.  What can we learn from this devot...

People have different attitudes before they go to the Dentist. One is to prepare a whole lot ahead and clean one's teeth thoroughly. The second attitude is, "I pay the dentist to clean my teeth, so he can do it." Is that how we view our relationship with God? Do we need to get ourselves right first or allow God to cleanse us? We need Him. As we worship we allow Him to do the righteous work in us.&...

Why do we believe in spiritual matters? What evidence does a person have for that belief? We all have doubts some days and ask ourselves where God is.

One may ask, "Was this coincidence or God?" Faith in God needs sufficient evidence....
