1 Corinthians 15:1-3 “Now brothers, I want to clarify for you the gospel I proclaimed to you; you received it and have taken your stand on it. You are also saved by it, if you hold to the message I proclaimed to you — unless you believed for no purpose. For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures”
Our life gets so busy and It is so easy to get caught up in the daily tasks, planning, and logistics

Are we all a ‘doubting Thomas’?
In the Book of John 20 these verses detail the resurrection of Jesus and beginning in John 20:24 it shares the story of Thomas (called Didymus) a disciple who wasn’t present when Jesus appeared to the other disciples after His resurrection. When the others told him that they had seen Jesus and that He was in fact alive, Thomas declared that only would he believe Jesus had risen from the dead if he was able to personally see Jesus himself and

“Enjoy life with the wife you love all the days of your fleeting life which has been given to you under the sun” Ecclesiastes 9:9 CSB
Contentment is the key to a happy marriage. When asked what makes us contented in marriage, we inevitably point to things our partner does, or is, that please us. When asked what makes us discontented, we indicate what they do, or are, that displeases us. We focus on what’s right or wrong about them, making ourselves happy or unhappy. But con

We read in Genesis 30:21, 34 and Genesis 46:15 about Dinah who was Jacob's only named daughter from his marriage to Leah. She grew up in a home with ten older and two younger brothers. We learn about her family struggles that likely stemmed from two sisters that married the same man. Dinah’s mother Leah and her sister Rachel were rivals for Jacob’s love and Leah always had known that Jacob had a deeper love for Rachel than he had for her. We are not told in this story how

In Psalm 27:4-5, David writes, "One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in His temple. For He will hide me in His shelter in the day of trouble; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will lift me high upon a rock."
What a beautiful reminder that even in the midst of chaos, we can always find refuge in God's presence. When the

One of the most beautiful verses in the Bible can be found in Isaiah 30:18 KJV “Therefore the Lord is waiting to show you mercy, and is rising up to show you compassion, for the Lord is a just God. All who wait patiently for him are happy.” What a beautiful picture this gives us of our God, the One true God over the universe, The Sovereign King over all creation is literally “waiting” even longing to show us mercy and compassion. It gives the view that our Heavenly Father

God instructs us to love everyone John 15:12 and try to get along with others Romans 12:18; Hebrews 12:14. Yes we should be shining examples of God's love. However we were not told that we must impress everyone and in fact we are instructed to worry more about impressing God, not man 1 Thessalonians 2:4. We were not told that every person will be pleased with all we do or say. Worry more about pleasing God by following Him in all we say or do. When we begin to focus on imp

Today is election day in the United States. It represents a pivotal time for people here and even around the world where United State’s policies touch lives. A time where the American people voice their decisions by coming together to shape the future. Determining what course leadership and policies will take for years to come. This is a time when we should be calling for peace, wisdom and integrity. It is essential that we seek God’s divine intervention, His power and His

"Walking worthy" Ephesians 4:1-3 “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
The word worthy gives us the idea that we must “match up” or meet certain standards with our actions and our words. Our appearance and actions on the outside should match the conv

What is our relationship with Jesus Christ really like? We wake up every day and thank God for a new day and we spend some time with Him in prayer. We then do our bible study, devotion or what ever form of study into God’s word we are doing at the time. We may ask ourselves every day what our relationship with Jesus Christ is really like. It is a way to self examine where we are in our own Christian life. It is so easy to get off course in our relationship with The Lord Je

It's incredible to think about how much God cares for us. As we reflect on Psalm 139:17-18, we are filled with awe and gratitude: "How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you."
These verses remind us of the vastness and preciousness of God's thoughts towards us. Each morning when we wake, His presence is with us, His love surrounding us, and His thoughts more n

What is our responsibility after we get saved? Once saved we do not become perfect. We never were and we never will be. We have all made mistakes and some of us have made what we would consider huge mistakes. However, to God sin is sin James 2:10. By the grace of God we have been forgiven when Jesus touched our hearts, convicted us of our sins and we confessed our sins to God and with a humbled heart we then asked for forgiveness and invited Jesus to come into our heart an

We don’t reach the highest point of our relationship with Jesus Christ at a time when He blesses us. The highest point of our relationship with Jesus Christ is when in spite of the world we see, in spite of what we feel, in spite of what we are going through we put our trust in Jesus Christ and we maintain our desire to fulfill the will of God in our life. Healthy or not, happy or not, suffering or not, rich or poor we know that our God, our Lord Jesus Christ has a plan

It is so easy for us to find ourselves being part time Christians. We have all been guilty of this. Jesus is a full time Savior. He is there for His children 24/7.
How could we have ever chose to only seek Him part time?
How could we have ever chose to only lean on Him part time?
How could we have ever only chose to honor, obey and try to please him part of the time?
How could we have ever only had partial faith in Him and for only part of the time?
How could we have only

In the hustle of daily responsibilities and the spiritual battles we face in ministry, it's vital to pause and reflect on the powerful promises God has given us. Romans 5:9-10 reminds us, "Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life."
