No book in scripture gives us a practical look at the Great controversy like the book of Job. It opens, with God telling Satan: “There is no one on earth like him. For Job was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.” Job is also described as “the greatest man among all the […]
One of my favourite stories of the Old Testament is that of Naaman. He was on a journey to find His healing from leprosy. He first goes to the King of Israel – but that King is not the source of healing. Elisha hears about this visitor from a foreign land and invites the King […]
There are some religions that teach salvation as obedience to the law. Trying to achieve justification through obedience to the law is impossible for us. We have all sinned and broken the law, and when we try to keep the law, we keep breaking it because we have a sinful human nature. Our human efforts […]
One of my dear friends was laid to rest yesterday. It was a reminder to me that it’s time to live my dream. Have you ever been passionate about a dream or vision, only to have it never come to pass? It’s time to change that narrative. Scripture tells us that God has an appointed […]
European history tells us that In A.D. 410, barbarian tribes poured into Rome, ravaging and pillaging the city. In response to critics who said the rise of Christianity had weakened Rome, Augustine, bishop of the city of Hippo in North Africa, wrote the book “The City of God.” In this book, which became a major […]
Today’s verse says, “You shall not commit adultery”. These words of Jesus are especially relevant to our generation. With pornography freely accessible and sexuality of every kind on sale and unavoidable, on every device. And magazines that pander to lust defend their right to publish through freedom of the press. Such “freedom” is no more […]
God wants you to live completely satisfied in Him, but so many people have a misconception about what will satisfy them. Scripture tells us that when we hunger and thirst for righteousness, then we will live in complete satisfaction. You direct your hunger by choosing what you focus on. For example, if you focus on […]
Today’s verse is an amazing promise – when we seek God and serve Him with our whole hearts, He will hide us in His shelter when trouble comes. That means you can be so connected to God that you are invisible to the enemy! You are hidden in Him! No matter what is happening around […]
When faced with hard times, we often take off running. We run from our problems. We run from responsibility. We run from people we don’t like or have conflicts with. We run from our past. We run from anything that makes us uncomfortable. We don’t seem to face issues and deal with them, we take […]
We are halfway through the year, and I want to remind you that God has something new in store for you! His plan for your life is not for you to reach one level, get stuck and stay there for another 6 months. He plans to increase you, open new doors before you, and take […]
Do you know that God loves you so much today, more than you could ever imagine? Not only did He send His Son, Jesus, to pay the price for your sins so that He could have a relationship with you, but He also wants to lavish you with everything He has, and everything He is. […]
If you know me, you would know that one thing that really gets to me is Christians that operate on fear as opposed to faith. I declare that many people today live with less than God’s best because they’ve allowed fear to creep in and take root in their lives. Fear is the number one […]
Many people don’t fully understand what it means to forget the past. Do I do away with my history? Do I make myself vulnerable again? How do I forget something that’s happened to me?” Some of the biblical definitions of this phrase is to “disregard intentionally”, “to overlook” or to “cease reliving the pain”. In […]
I was talking with a teenager yesterday who said “it’s time to change.” She said, “I want to give my life to Christ.” We all have areas in our lives where we desire to see change; areas we know we need to come up higher, or addictions and strongholds we need to break. The good […]
Everyone is looking for good news. We always say “No news is good news,” meaning that at least we are not hearing bad news, which tends to come in urgent messages. But regarding Christ, no news is bad news. His story is filled with the spread of the good news of God’s salvation. We celebrate […]
It’s always a pain when communication breaks down. This is true not only in our human relationships but also in our relationship with God. The world is hungry for divine guidance, as we can see by the popularity of fortune tellers, channelling, and spirit guides. People look for communication with spiritual powers but do so […]
