Daily encouragement for Christians
Woe to me! Have you ever come into God’s presence and had the reality of your sin hit you so hard that all you can do is say, “Woe is me!?” Isaiah knew that feeling well. He was given a vision of the Lord high upon his throne. “S’rafim [Seraphim] stood over him, each with […]
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 […]
Are you so connected to Jesus that you will blindly follow Him just by His voice? I long to be in the group He is describing when He says, “They never follow a stranger but will run away from him, because strangers’ voices are unfamiliar to them.” (John 10:5) I wish I could say that […]
One of the books on my current reading list is the Book of Revelation. Many people avoid this Book because they don’t understand it or because it’s scary.

Do you believe that everyone who trusts in God will go to Heaven? Is it enough, can it be that simple–just believe in God? No, it isn’t enough, it isn’t that simple. Jesus said, “Don’t let yourselves be disturbed. Trust in God and trust in me.” (John 14:1) Some people stop at God, they skip […]
Have you ever felt that Satan was hindering you from completing a task for the Lord? Chances are yes if you ever put your heart into it. Many people, unfortunately, do not believe in things they cannot see or rationalize. The forces of the unseen, spiritual world cannot be overestimated. The battle is raging already […]
Do you have an addictive personality? I know many people who do but some don’t realize it. I once had a boss who told me that, “Christians just trade one addiction for another.” He preferred alcohol and another drug or two. He did not appreciate going to service the homes of Christians who barely let […]
King Nebuchadnezzar had it all. He ruled over the entire world. God had so blessed him that He had given the king complete control. Until…pride came over him. “Twelve months later, as he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Bavel [Babylon], the king said, ‘Bavel the great! I built it as […]
