Daily encouragement for Christians
“I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who trusts in me might not remain in the dark,” Jesus said. “If anyone hears what I am saying and does not observe it, I don’t judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.” (John […]
How well do you know history? Does the name Telemachus mean anything to you? In the early part of the fifth century, he took a trip to Rome. It was there that he witnessed a bloody battle to the death in the colosseum. Telemachus was a Christian monk who knew that premeditated murder was […]
Are you afraid of death? If you have given your heart to Jesus you have no real reason to fear death because it will never touch you. You have eternal life–already. Your soul is bulletproof. It’s secured by the Gatekeeper–the Spirit that moved in when you said “Yes” to Christ. The Spirit is a homebody–He […]
Have you noticed societies attempt to be all-inclusive so no one ever feels left out? Everyone who runs the race gets an award…what is the incentive to try harder? That isn’t the way Father designed things. He has an extensive incentive package for those who win the victory. Every one of us are born into […]
Resurrection Sunday is coming soon. Do you know the history of that event? It’s not just a Bible story, it’s humanity’s history. Jesus isn’t just a prophet or a good man who lived long ago; He’s the One who conquered death and hell. He was crucified on a cross […]
“There is no God besides me, a just God and a Savior; there is none besides me. Look at me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God; there is no other.” (Isaiah 45:21-22) Have you given Father the seat of honor in your heart? It requires you to get […]
“Rejoice in this, even though for a little while you may have to experience grief in various trials.” (1 Peter 1:6) Rejoice in what? That you are being protected by Father’s power until you have received your inheritance, gifted to you because Yeshua chose to suffer a bloody and horrendous death to pay the price […]
“He must become more important, while I become less important.” (John 3:30) Let that roll around in your mind for a moment. Does it encourage or discourage you? Some people have an issue even thinking that someone is more important than themselves. They are pious and self-righteous. They don’t need anyone else to make a […]
My dad raised me to believe that anything worth having is worth working for. I wonder if that thought was in Naaman’s mind as he traveled to Israel seeking a cure for his tzara’at (leprosy). After first being given no hope from the king of Israel, who declared only God could do such a thing, […]
I used to have a friend who said he might go to a church that didn’t preach hellfire and brimstone. He didn’t believe in the existence of hell; “If God is good he’d never send people to hell,” he’d say. A self-declared genius, my friend believed that the Bible is a fictional piece of work, […]
