Jesus’ last words spoken from Heaven were, “Surely I come quickly” (Rev 22:20). And it won’t be long before He speaks once again—when He comes down from Heaven with a shout! In the meantime, the hearts of those waiting and watching for Him need to remain glowing hot, focused, and faithful concerning this our blessed…

Is Deliverance From Captivity Still Our Delight ?
As a child of God, do you continue on in life as if your deliverance from captivity of sin was just another occurrence, with little significance? Or is your “mouth filled with laughter” and your “tongue with singing?” This doesn’t mean that you necessarily have to laugh and sing out loud all day long, but…
Faith or Just Hope?
Is the object of our faith… just a hope that a plane will get us to our destination? Or do we place our faith in the pilot with his wisdom, training and experience… to get us to where we are to go as safely as possible? How often the child of God feels inadequate when…
A Lie in Disguise or Truth Unclothed?
We live our life as a façade. We have pretty curtains on the windows with a nice welcome mat on the front step, and at the same time, we surround everything with a massive wrought iron fence. Our doors are padlocked and dead-bolted, but the painted stucco covering the walls is magnificent. The front yard…
When Doing Good Works Has No Reward
This world is filled with people trying to make it in this life without God mostly through doing good works of some kind.

No Fence is Superior Than Jesus
A simple chain-link fence was all that separated me from the Great Blue Heron standing at the pond’s edge. Hoping for the “perfect shot,” I carefully inched closer, camera in hand. With each successive step toward the fence, the heron became more wary of my presence. I slowly raised my camera to the fence top,…
The Way to Greatness is “Wash my feet?”
“…He poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded. Then …Peter saith unto Him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? …Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.”…
Is Jesus the Focus of Our Faith?
Where is the main focus of our faith? Is it in the head of a religious organization, or maybe the person speaking at a church service? Is it in what is written in the Bible or our effort spent in reading it? Is it in the actions of an alluring individual healing the sick? Is…
Pushing Fear Out of Your Life
Whether it’s something small, like a pen running out of ink in the middle of an important exam, or something major, such as a bomb detonating on an airplane, there will be fear in our life. None is exempt from having this, regardless of age, background, standing in society, or physical location. Now fearing something,…
