What Will Become of the Meek?
Some people think that intimidating and shoving others out of their way during their course through life in order to assert their rights is the best way to get along in this world.

Are You Noted by Your Walk With God?
If you are a Christian, would someone be able to know you by your walk with God?

When Suffering is an Advantage to Us
When it comes to suffering, the Bible tells us of our need to be made pure. When people endure injustice, most will readily defend themselves.

The Cross—God’s Way of Victory
It’s the great desire of the Lord for every child of His to walk victorious in Christ. But we need to learn how to do this. The way of God is the way of praise and triumph, which is the best way. What we don’t need is to keep talking about our problems; what we do need is to…
Earthquakes, Sin, and Your Heart
Earthquakes are an interesting phenomenon. They come and go as the earth’s crust shifts around on its molten core. Their intensity varies from tiny tremors that barely register on measuring equipment to a full blown rupture that destroys whole cities or reshapes the countryside. There is a parallel here in regard to how sin impacts…
Raining Fire: A Legitimate Judgment of God
After the night’s dark fears have passed, the light of dawn breaks through, promising peace and happiness. But one particular day in a city called Sodom, dawn came with a vengeance and judgment no one anticipated. At the same time that daybreak lit the city, a fire-storm and destruction were coming together, ready to burst…
“Come Unto Me”
When people come to Jesus Christ, the very first thing they will discover is a deep, beautiful peace inside. They won’t be able to tell what the reason is for it, but they do know that they feel good. They are no longer running from God or fighting Him. Instead, they begin to really understand…
