Your Power As A Christian

Make Your Choice!

Make Your Choice!

Your life is formed from the decisions you make, your choices. And you get to choose the important issues in life. In life we have options and you get to choose what you want: and the decisions you make can either build you up or destroy you. God has presented us with another option, ‘Life’. Before Christ died, man only had one option and that was death. So you are to make your choice.... »

Don’t Look Back. Just Do It!

Don’t Look Back. Just Do It!

TIME is of extreme essence in our walk in life. This is why what we do when we feel something has gone wrong is very important. What do you do when you make a mistake? Do you sit and mull over it, or do you get up and continue winning right away? The fact of life is that what we do after an occurence is ALWAYS more important than the occurence itself. Time spent regretting is time completely waste... »

Faith vs Hope

Faith vs Hope

Central Truth: It takes a positive faith – a now faith – to get positive results. When Paul, writing to the Corinthians, said, “And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (I Corinthians 13:13), he was not inferring that hope and faith are not important. Each has its place, and one cannot be substituted for another. We cannot substitute love for hope. Neither... »

Diligence Rules – Motivational

Diligence Rules – Motivational

God values diligence in His people, as is shown by the numerous references to diligence in the book of Proverbs. Here are a few examples: Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor. (12:24) All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. (14:2)3 The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. (13:4) TWO EXAMPLES OF DILI... »

Making A Demand on Your Rights, in the Name of Jesus.

Making A Demand on Your Rights, in the Name of Jesus.

JOHN 16:23,24 23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ASK THE FATHER in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. In John 14:13,14 the Greek word for “ask” implies to demand as something due. In other words, we could say, “And whatsoever ... »

Shake It Off, And Step Up!

Shake It Off, And Step Up!

This parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule praying or whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together, told them what had hap... »

Carly’s Story

Carly’s Story

I saw a report on television not too long ago about a young girl who had severe Autism. Her name is Carly. For years, she had never spoken a word or communicated in any way. It looked as if she were mentally retarded. All through the day, she would flail her arms and have uncontrollable fits. At seven years old, the authorities tried to talk her parents into putting her in a special home. They sai... »

Authority in the Word of God

Authority in the Word of God

Jesus said, ”Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy: and nothing [nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing] shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19). Does the Church in this century have less authority than it did right after Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and seating at the Father’s right ha... »

True Christianity

True Christianity

Acts 20:24 But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God. It is the most important aspect of our lives as Christians that we express our witness for Christ outside the walls of the church. That is where hurting and despairing people are to be found. Sharing ChristR... »
