Message Title: Prepared For Thieves

Hello My Friend,

Did you ever stop to think just how cunning and organized thieves are? They appear helpful, blend in with everyone, yet the entire time they are planning their attack. Thieves take more than just possessions, they take identities, lives, and even innocence away from people. It aggravates me, when the media and government tell all the world about the weapons we have and our strengths and...

Hello My Friend,

Jesus Christ came to earth not only to make a way for the sinner to be saved from hell and His judgment, He also came here to show man that they can still live in the world and remain godly.

Message Title: When Jesus Returns

Hello My Friend,

While we all have to endure some suffering from time to time, God truly loves all people, after all He created every single one of us. It is truly uncomprehending to understand the love of God for His creation, yet out of the billions of people He created from the time He created man, millions will flee and reject Him. Still, no matter how many reject Him He is faithful and true to wait ...

Message Title: The Deep Things of God

Hello My Friend,

Thousands of people preach about God's Word every day, the sad thing is that the majority of them have no clue as to what they are saying. Why and how is that possible? Three reasons, they are not saved and using their own wisdom to instruct them, they are not reading God's Word personally, or they are just going by what others who do not know God's Word are telling them. “Howbeit we...

Hello My Friend,

In the blink of an eye Jesus will be here and when He does all will know that He truly is the Savior and judge of all. Why hasn't He returned yet? God is longsuffering in that none should perish, meaning He does not want to see anyone end up in hell. The word longsuffering means to be patient, not easily provoked, while God could send Jesus in an instant, He is patient, not willing to destroy th...

Message Title: Under The Gospel

Hello My Friend,

As we read through the Book of Isaiah we learn of great prophecies, some of which came true already, some have yet to be fulfilled. The privileges we have under the Gospel are far greater than any under the law of Moses, although the same Gospel for was preached under both Testaments, we are truly blessed to only have to turn to our Savior for atonement and redemption from the horrible fate...

Hello My Friend,

There are thousands of movies and documentaries that portray Armageddon or the rapture, I imagine they have been making them since film was invented.

Hello My Friend,

Every day, saved, born again Christians struggle climbing the mountains that they put in front of them. The strongest Christian can fall, our salvation does not exempt us from the sin nature that we fight with until the day we lose our flesh. However, God has not forgotten them, His hand is still stretched out to help anyone climb their mountain and reach the top. “But if we ...

No greater love has anyone shown than Jesus Christ to give His life as a sacrifice for all mankind, Jesus died for everyone, past, present, and future. Why?

All Christians want to see God's blessings upon their lives, we long for prosperity, security, necessities, and the occasional desires.

Jesus Said, quoting from the Book of Deuteronomy, “It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” - Luke 4:4.

Hello My Friend,

You will often hear the phrase “Fear the Lord” or “Fear God” in some form throughout the Bible. Many people, including Christians, misunderstand what it actually means to, “Fear God.” A lot of people have actually walked away from God or refuse to let Him be a part of their lives because they are told to, “Fear God.” So, what does fearing God mean?

Hello My Friend,

As Christians we are taught to love those who hate us, be kind to those who deceive us, and take care of those who hurt us. At the same time we are also taught to separate ourselves from those who are wicked. So, how are we to show kindness to one another, especially when someone has wronged us, yet remain separated from them? Grace. “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to ...

Hello My Friend,

The tongue is the most powerful tool a person has, for example, most businesses receive their customers by word of mouth, the more people that talk good about it the more the business excels. However, if you get just one person saying something bad about it, even if it is not true, it can destroy it. A lying tongue destroys trust in another person's word, just one conversation can do e...

Hello My Friend,

As I read the Scripture for today a word came to mind, fornication, it's not something I enjoy talking about, if I could avoid it I would, but just like every other subject that God wants us know about, this one has to be addressed sometimes too. It's a very touchy subject because it brings about personal conviction like no other sins, especially when it comes to living God's way. Whil...

Hello My Friend,

A proverb is a short sentence, often repeated, expressing a well known truth or fact, I often think of proverbs as graphic images, a picture with a quote that says a simple, but powerful message. Graphic images are the key to selling everything and anything, but to get the message we must first look at the picture. When I first began reading the Bible through I did not always see the pictures...

Hello My Friend,

God may have chosen Israel to put His name out there as the one and only Living God that blesses those that trust in Him, but they were to be the example for the rest of the nations to follow. Whenever I see the name Israel in the Bible I put my own country there because just as Israel was blessed when they trusted God so is every other nation. Likewise, if the nation rejects God it gets j...
