Encouragement

Satan Runs Faster

We all have areas of failure, whether it is noticeable by others or not. We all fall short of the glory of God, and fall to temptations. And it seems that Satan is right there, continuously telling us that we "cannot defeat him."

God, Are You Listening?

Have you ever prayed to God for something, only to be left wondering if God was even listening?

Forgiving Your "Dr. Mengele"

I think in almost everyone's life, there is at least one person you absolutely do not want to forgive. One person who has said something, or done something to you or someone very close...

Where did God Go???

Sometimes we feel out of touch with God, or we look at all of the terrible things happening in the world and ask how a loving God could let them happen... sometimes we wonder if God is really keeping His promises, and if He is still even there...

Trying Times

With gas prices around $4 a gallon, foreclosures on the rise, and the price of necessities such as food and electricity increasing, many families are struggling to survive. Struggling to keep food on the table, and a roof over their heads... and some families are at the breaking point, a point where they are waiting for the final notice on their home. A point where they are asking "how a loving God could let this happen..."

My Signigicant Other

Sometimes it seems our relationship with God is at a stand still, that we're not improving, or that God's just not there for us... sometimes it's easy for us to feel like giving up and moving on...

Something Special

Of all the ways God could have come to the earth as a man, why did He come as a carpenter... a nobody?

A Loving God

As we get closer to Valentine's day, there is a lot of talk about what love is, and how to show it. We talk about buying candy and flowers for our sweethearts, or a nice romantic dinner... but somehow the founder of love, God, gets left out of the picture...

Sowing in Tears

We are often able to focus on all the bad things that happen in our lives, the things that make us cry, mourn, and sometimes even question life and God's will for us... yet we often forget how blessed we are, and all the joy that God has brought into our life...

Milk & Candy

Milk contains nutrients vital to healthy bone development, and for a strong, healthy body... however we tend to consume more candy and pop in our diets than we do milk... just like we do in our spiritual lives

Stormy Seas

We all experience these types of storms, maybe not being in the sea and having waves crash against our boat, but we experience it in different forms. Here we are, sailing along in life, and then something unexpected and violent occurs. Maybe we lose our job, or worse, the loss of a family member... one of the hardest storms we face is depression... when we start to give up hope...

What Can I Do

There are a lot of problems in today's world; famine and hunger, illiteracy, homelessness, poverty, global warming, and even a lack of the Gospel being spread... but what can you do, after all your only one person right?

A Bitter-Sweet Devotion

Today is filled with grief and sorrow, as we remember those who were tragically killed in the Westroads Mall shooting...

Trust Him

You can not expect the unexpected, but by Trusting God you can be ready to overcome whatever life throws at you.

Tasks and Privileges

Our lives are filled with daily tasks, and sometimes even our Christian activities can become things we "just do." With all the work that surrounds us, and with our busy lives, how can we keep our focus on God and on our blessings...

1 John 1:10
[10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

John 14:15
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Matthew 22:37-38
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment.

James 4:7
[7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Romans 5:8-10
[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. [10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
