I don’t like rituals and religious duties.  What I do like are things that are in line with what the Bible says and that remind us of the goodness of God.  One of those things is communion.  Although many may think of communion as a ritual or something we’re supposed to do, if we understand [...]

One day a man came to Jesus and asked the question, “Which is the great commandment?”  Jesus replied with a very interesting answer: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like [...]

We all have to deal with challenges and difficulties on a regular basis.  Although the challenges we face are often similar to those faced by many others, we can clearly see that some people grow stronger and better through challenging times, while others grow weaker and bitter.  What is the reason for this? I believe [...]

Wisdom!  The Bible tells us it’s the principle thing.  It tells us that with wisdom, we’ll have success; without it, we’ll fail.  The Bible exalts wisdom greatly and we’re told it’s more valuable than ANYTHING we can desire.  It also says if we lack wisdom, we can ask God in faith and He’ll give it [...]

As you live your life in this world of stress and anxiety, never forget that you have God Almighty ready to help you any time that you want His help.  Before He left the earth Jesus gave us this promise in John 14:27: “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And [...]

Spring is in the air!  This time of year is known as a time for new love.  Many today are looking for perfect love…is there really such a thing?  I believe there is but it’s extremely hard to find.  In fact, there’s only one example of it in recorded history.  It happened when God chose [...]

Have you ever considered that praise and worship may be our highest expression of faith in God?  When we make a choice to praise God at all times, especially in the midst of difficult circumstances, we are truly showing the level of trust we have in Him.  God’s Word tells us that faith without action [...]

Have you noticed how much society and the world around you wants you to focus only on what you see?  This is especially true when it comes to your own life.  The message is: “Looking good is far more important than actually being good.” This message is constantly communicated through the internet, television, radio, movies, [...]
