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 …

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 …

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, …

More than 2000 years ago, God came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ to walk among His creation.  Of all the religions on earth, Christianity is based on our Creator getting up close and personal with His very imperfect children. God’s love could not be more perfectly expressed in any other way than through the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. From the time of original sin, humans have disappointed God with their decisions………..our decisions.  But, with the advent of Christ dying on the cross, that sin does not have to condemn us, but allows us the glory of eternity in a place Christ referred to as “paradise.” When we accept Christ into our lives, when we accept the Holy Spirit into our hearts, we find new purpose …

Are you one of those people who are convinced God doesn’t exist? Maybe you think that Jesus lived, but He was only a prophet. Maybe you are not that person, but you know someone who is? Maybe you are really sure that God doesn’t exist, but you would not say that you are 100% sure. Maybe, you could say the same about your feelings about Jesus; you are sure He was just a well known prophet or philosopher and you are quite sure that He was not God in the flesh. You might even describe yourself as 99% sure. Heaven or Hell Christians believe that you must accept Jesus Christ as your Savior in order to go to Heaven. Christians base that belief on several passages in the Bible where …

Jesus told us that we would not know the moment of His return. Many academic theologians and others tell us that we should not bother to speculate about the end times because of this. Christ did tell us that we would not know the moment of His return, but He never said that we would not recognize the signs that His return was near. Those signs are discussed at length in the Bible.  There have been predictions about the end times over the years and many have been confident that the Rapture was near.  Many dates have proven erroneous and this has added to the general speculation by Christians and non-believers alike. The Reality Today Today, the world has a convergence of signs and prophetic events that have not been …

I found the information below on Evangelist Steve Hill’s website. What a great message to think about. God is so vast, so big, so awesome, that your biggest problems are small in comparison. For that reason, you should trust that God can handle them with ease. Read what Steve Hill says about this and who he quotes: How many of us take the time to stop and think about the big-ness of God?  Is there any problem or circumstance larger than the Maker of the universe?  Robert South, theologian from the 1600’s once wrote on this subject: “We have a very lame and imperfect conception of our great God.  And the reason is very clear.  We are forced to understand that which is infinite, after a finite manner.  Simply put: one …

A Christian and an Atheist were sitting side by side at a lunch counter. The Christian had no idea that the stranger next to him was an Atheist, but the Atheist could see the other guy’s Bible and knew that he was a Christian. It was late in the morning and the Christian was eating an omelet and having a glass of juice. The Atheist was having an early lunch and enjoying a sandwich and a can of soda. The two exchanged observations about the morning’s weather and then the Atheist asked the Christian how he could believe in God since he had never seen Him. He went on to state that the Christian never touched God or sensed Him in any way. Why would he have any faith in …
