To Inherit or Not to Inherit

The reason I write about the topic of this article is that people have been deceived into thinking it’s okay. With some of the other things in the list in the Bible passage below, people KNOW they are wrong things to do, but sometimes do them without even realizing it–or they slip from time to […]

Be a Light

But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. Ephesians 5:13 Just think – if God hadn’t designed the moon so that it would light up when the sun shone on it, then we wouldn’t see it at all, would we? That’s how it is with believers. He shines […]

A Willing Heart

We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also. 2 Corinthians 6:11-13 God doesn’t forcefully take anything from us in this age of grace. That would be […]

Different Drum

Wonder why I keep beating the same drum about how children of God should behave like it if they are serious (and not call themselves by His name if they’re not – 2 Tim. 2:19)? Because in the Bible, God gave us a picture of what it means to belong to Jesus. When we are […]

Your Team

As I write, baseball and softball seasons are in full swing. Earlier, people picked the members to play on their teams, put in countless hours of practice, and so on. Perhaps some who previously played for one team are now playing for another. Things change constantly in this world, including in sports, so we never […]

Set Free

When I felt this message beginning in my heart a few days ago and began to write it down, I didn’t have an idea yet what I would call it or when I would finish it, but God did. So here we are celebrating Independence Day in the United States once again and here is […]

The Way is Hard

Question: If it’s so EASY to get into heaven that all we have to do is claim to believe in Jesus, then why did He say that the way is EASY that leads to destruction and HARD that leads to eternal life? It almost seems like there’s more to this, doesn’t it? What is hard […]

Be Angry and Do Not Sin

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,  and give no opportunity to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27 People prefer to only remember Jesus by how mild mannered and loving He was, but there were times when He did get angry. Can you name the two times that […]

The Narrow Door

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” Matthew 7:13-14 This is just TOO important to be “too busy” for. PLEASE don’t be distracted by the world, enthralled by the […]
