Daily encouragement for Christians
From the archive: Have you ever been separated from a friend because of the changes you made in your life? When I started seeking Christ, a friend who had been a daily–sometimes twice a day–visitor to my home stopped coming. During that time I felt that she was rejecting me because I chose Jesus and […]
Do you ever wonder what we will look like in heaven? I read a pastor’s comment about caring for your body now because, in his opinion, the same body will be raised. You truly should take good care of your current human body–remember, the Spirit lives in that body with you. However, Paul explains very […]
“ADONAI (the Lord), God, said to the woman, ‘What is this you have done?’ The woman answered, ‘The serpent tricked me, so I ate.’” (Genesis 3:13) I wonder how many times I have been the deceived woman in the garden. I’ve been tricked into spending money on ideas to make big money fast. I’ve been […]
Do you ever feel so insecure about your relationship with Jesus that you doubt your acceptance in the kingdom? Would you believe me if I told you there is no one, not a human that ever existed, that has a better chance of entering into heaven than you? “God looks out from heaven upon the […]

Are we blinded from the truth because we allow our full attention to focus on the first “wrong” in an event? When Jesus saw a crippled man in a crowd, unable to get into the healing water, after asking him if he wanted to be healed, he simply directed him, “Get up, pick up your […]
It appears to me that most people have been using their free time lately to do things like binge-watch T.V. while binge-eating and drinking. It also seems to be a big joke to many. Does that behavior seem harmless to you? After all, most of us are supposed to be confined to our homes with […]
Exodus 4:10-13, 24-25 Our first instinct when God calls us is to come up with all the reasons we can muster that we will never be acceptable for the position.
