We worry so much about being good enough for Heaven. Will i make it? Sometimes we jokingly just assume we are going to Hell because we know ourselves so well and feel we are NOT perfect. These are actually good thoughts to have because it makes us think. What actually is the answer? Well, the Bible tells us. There's no way on earth we are going to Heaven without HELP. Certainly we've all...

This is so basic! We are not supposed to be effective witnesses for Jesus is we can't even know for sure if we will even make it to heaven! Stop the bleeding! Read the Bible for your own sanity! The Scriptures will calm you down and you'll KNOW the simplicity of going to Heaven and not Hell!!!! This is one of the most dominating themes throughout the Bible is having a calm assurance that...

There is so much unbelief in our lives today when it comes to our own prayers. We are so confident that God will NOT answer our prayers we get a little arrogant about it. Somehow the idea is we want to argue with God over this when we get to Heaven. Some will even fight you over the right tobelieve that God will NOT answer their prayers. You can't blame them or even yourself IF YOU WON'T...

So many Christians stay so secretly upset over this basic truth. We have all in our minds scared the living daylights out of our selves because we stop reading our Bibles for our selves. Let me ask you. Would you ask someone to go to the doctor for you or would you go yourself? Of course not! You would go yourself. Well go yourself to the Bible and find out if there's a way for you to go to H...

The simple truth is fear! We are so afraid of tomorrow. This world as Jesus said is full of tribulation (problems what have you), but remember He said for us to be of good cheer meaning be happy. Well its impossible to just say you'll be happy when trouble comes and not have any way out, but that's the silly things we believe about God sometimes and it could not be further from the truth...

Our own unbelief is staggaring to say the least. We are no different than the persons in stories mentioned in the Bible. From Elijah's silly depression claiming he was the only Christian left all the way to Martha at the tomb of Lazarus telling Jesus that by this time Lazarus stinks. We are constantly fed a storyline in America that there is no God or if there is then Jesus is NOT the only on...

We are so ignorant of the Bible at times in our lives. We gladly give up simple truths of the scriptures just because someone says that it is not forus today. This is so embarrassing to be so ignorant. Do we not take time to research something a doctor may have said? Do we blindly believe anything our news media says today? I don't think so. We research what we hear all the time but when it c...

Its amazing to find out for yourself why all the stories about Abraham are in YOUR BIBLE. Some think it's only historical but that's only half the story. You don't have to be a preacher to figure this one out. If Galatians chapter 3 says you are blessed with faithful Abraham then it only makes sense to find out how he was blessed. Genesis 12 is where it all begins so see for yoursel...

Why were the multitudes following Jesus everywhere? Jesus was always making them glad. We have such a pessimistic view of the bible sometimes. For all we know, sometimes we believe God is just an unhappy God. That's so not right. When is the last time you heard children quit laughing. When is the last times you heard parents don't laugh at the funny things their little children and even...

Why not? What part of reading your bible taught you to NOT expect a miracle? As you will learn the bible NEVER said you couldn't have a miracle. Miracles are for you! John chapter 1 Jesus told Nathaniel "You'll see greater things than this". The very last verse in John's Gospel says that if everything Jesus ever did was written down the world itself couldn't contain t...

Yes He does! Jesus, His very Name means Savior! We have so limited our Lord. We've estimated Him today to be practically ineffective in our lives to save us from anything except HELL. Thank God we've not lost our faith in THAT, but oh there is so much more that Christ has made available for us. Our problem lies in our complete ignorance of the Bible. We claim we've heard every story...

Naaman was a leper in 2 Kings chapter 5 until he turned his worry into a MIRACLE. You can do the same thing. My suggestion is to read that story and realize for yourself you can have a miracle, too! How is it that Naaman's wife could have a little Israelite slave girl that KNEW Naaman could have a miracle and yet today we believe we CANNOT? See how far we've gotten ourselves from the Bib...

The Bible plainly states YOU have angels with YOU! It would do us good to stop complaining about being so helpless down here in all our problems as though God does not care. He cares more than you'll ever dream. Our trouble is unbelief. We grow up knowing more about the Religion of Evolution and the Religion of Atheist than we do about our Bible. How is that? Simple! We quit reading our Bible...

The Bible is on our side here concerning Heaven and getting there! We wind up continually condemning ourselves and coming up with all kinds of excuses as to why we should never be allowed to go there. Truth is Heaven is a gift and you're not going to earn it in the first place. Read the book for yourself and KNOW you're going! You'll have so much more joy in your heart KNOWING the t...

The easiest thing to do is believe God is NOT going to help you. It takes work to believe He is on your side and that He will actually HELP you. Ask yourself why you are so tempted to quit. Why aren't you just as easily tempted to "Hang in there"? See this is not a game. There are real forces out there trying to get YOU to just roll over and quit. The forces are trying to get you to...

This is NOT some new thing. Learning Jesus will heal you NOW is easily understood when you Search The Scriptures for yourself. If you just took the book of Matthew alone and read all 28 chapters which would probably take you only a couple of hours you would convince yourself of this fact as well. Trouble is... will we read the book of Matthew and find out? Unfortunately, many will NOT. Thats about...

We paralyze ourselves in our own thinking. Continually condemning ourselves for a seemingly major sin or even and occasional slip up is certainly not trusting in the One Who died to take all our sins away. We act as though Jesus will not forgive us for we won't forgive ourselves. Listen, we can't save ourselves. We have to have Jesus do it for us. You couldn't pay for a single sin b...

Once we get beyond our own unbelief that God wants to help us we discover you cannot out give God. The Bible will encourage you all the time that God will give you gifts. Some people think just the gift of Jesus is all we have but even then they don't understand the gift of Jesus. You can't just have Jesus and not have everything else. Everything came when the gift of Jesus came. No wond...

The Name of Jesus should be such a well known weapon in the life of every believer. Unfortunately it gets overlooked. When we read the Bible ourselves we will find out that the use of the Name of Jesus is literally spoken. Makes sense! Why have a name if you're not going to speak it. Jesus said to use His name in prayer and we would get what we asked for. Why did He spend time telling us this...

Faith matters and it matters to you. Without faith it's impossible to please God. Think about a friend or parent or a spouse. Does my faith matter with them? Yes is the only answer. How would people treat us if we had NO FAITH in anyone around us? Easy answer here as well. No one would want to be around us and no one would want to do anything for us! Wow! See how your faith in God is critical...

This should be our first area of personal confidence and happiness but many times we just can't believe the Jesus of the Bible is this way, but He is. The Bible is the key to understanding your own forgiveness not how you feel or how others treat you. The trouble is many times we self condemn ourselves because we have made mistakes after we have been saved. Not realizing the Devil is called t...

The Bible is a very important book for you. If there was ever anything magical in this world then its the Bible. People have all kinds of reasons to ignore it and never read it. From people who don't believe it even to those who claim they believe every word yet they don't take time to read it. God has promised if we'll but just read it then FANTASTIC things would begin to happen fo...

Jesus is always going to care for you no matter what. He is always there to immediately help you if you will but only believe. John 3:16 is based solely on your trust in Jesus alone to take you to heaven. You can't ever be good enough on your own to go there. No, you have to have help. That help is Jesus. The further you get away from the Bible the harder you will make things for yourself but...
