A word of encouragement to be ready when Jesus returns: Please don’t buy it if the devil tries to sell you the lie that children of God can enjoy their sins just as much as the rest of the world. Our old nature loves to hear it, because its just plain easier to go along […]
Not Under the Law (or “The Emperor’s New Clothes”)
This article was updated August, 2018. For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, […]
Light and Salt (or Stand Up for the REAL Jesus, the TRUE Light of the World)
Please don’t think that to be a “nice” person or “good” Christian that you have to accept the ways of the world when they go against the moral values taught in the Bible. Really – God made some people in the wrong gender of body, or He made a mistake when He made genders at […]
How to Live in Your Last Days
I personally believe for many reasons that we are in the last days before the return of Jesus, but it doesn’t really matter if I’m right or not. None of us knows when our own last moment on this earth will be, and so we should be living as though that could be at any […]
A Regular Person
Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag […]
The Eclipse
These are dangerous times we’re living in. Not because we’ll be harmed by today’s total eclipse (August 21, 2017), but because of the risk we take when we let anything obscure the Light of the world from our view. Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me […]
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 […]
