It’s important to remember that God is a God of love. He loves his children; humans. There is evil in the world, but that evil does not come from God. It is safe to say that most of the people killed and injured in Las Vegas were Christians. It is a common characteristic of country music fans. This may lead many to wonder; why did God allow his followers to be injured or killed? As humans, we can’t know the answer. Our understanding is limited. We just know that it is important to accept Jesus Christ as Savior so that me may enjoy eternity in a place he referred to as “paradise.” (Heaven) Pray for healing for those hospitalized and injured. Pray for God’s peace and comfort for the families …

28 Coptic Christians Murdered in Egypt
It would be far better to be able to always report on the news of joy that is part of accepting Jesus. Unfortunately, we live in a world where radical Islam is determined to snuff out the world’s Christian population. Twenty-eight Christians, who were on their way to a monastery to pray were attacked and killed by Islamic fighters. This follows large attacks in Egypt against Christians in the past six months. Read the story here.
The 7 Leading Persecutors of Christians Worldwide
This article lists the seven leading persecutors of Christian people worldwide. According to the article, “215 million believers face intimidation, prison—even death—for their faith.” That is one out of every 12 Christians in the world. This is not reported in the press. It shows their disregard for the Christian community.
Have you been told that Christians are bad people?
It’s not uncommon for many younger people today to believe that Christians are bad people. Christians are thought to be intolerant or “haters” or thought to have closed minds. If you are one of the people who thinks that way, did you ever consider what Christians do for others on any given day? A large percentage of the hospitals in the U.S. were started by, and funded, by Christians and Christian organizations. There is no doubt that tens of thousands of lives have been saved in these hospitals. Christian Contributions to America Christians started many of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the U.S. Institutions like Harvard were started to train pastors. Christians also started many of the organizations that are best known for feeding the hungry and clothing …
New President – hope for Christians
With the inauguration of a new U.S. president, I pray that the persecution of Christians in America, and around the world, will end. We know that in countries, where Christians are a minority today, the persecution will continue. But, there is hope that this new president, will work diligently, to go after those who would harm Christians because of their faith. In America, where the Founders were Christians, and where the founding documents all referred to God, I am hopeful that the anti-Christian narrative will be dampened. With a new administration, that looks to the Christian God for guidance and wisdom, the country has a better chance to allow the good work of Christians to prosper and go forth. It is my prayer, that when public figures express their faith …
Are you someone who doesn’t believe in God?
For a Christian, it’s hard to even ask that question. But, for many people today, our culture has instilled this idea in many people’s heads that they should not believe in God. As many Atheists will ask; “Where is your God………I don’t see him. So, you believe in a fairy tale?” There are two better questions to ask yourself that might help you understand why you believe you don’t believe in God. The first is the Atheist’s question. To someone like me, that question is silly. I look around me at the trees that clean our air, the sunshine that creates chlorophyll to allow plants to live, the birds who find food every day, the changes in a woman’s body as it prepares to protect and nourish a new baby …
Christian Couple in Pakistan to be put to Death
This happens every week across the Middle East and in Northern Africa and in places like Pakistan. Innocent Christian people, losing their lives to people of intolerance. Christians face intolerance in America also, but it doesn’t result in a death sentence. In this case, it’s because of a text message, a message the Christian couple says they did not even send. Read about it here.
Rev. Billy Graham’s 95th birthday
This is news of joy. Billy Graham, the pastor who has probably led the most people to Jesus Christ, turned 95 on November 7th. Humble as always, he didn’t think people even remembered him.

God; He cares for you
In 1 Peter 5:6-7, in the NIV version of the Bible, we are told: Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. There are two things you can take away from this verse; one is that the most mighty being in the universe will lift you up in due time. If you have problems, He will lift you up. And, something that is just as reassuring, is that you can cast your anxiety on him because HE CARES FOR YOU. That last point is very important. You are His creation and he loves you like a parent. If you need to unload some anxiety that is lowering your quality of life, …
