Daily encouragement for Christians
Do you have too much stuff? Listening to the radio I heard it said that twenty-five percent of Americans with a two-car garage cannot park inside because their garage is used for storage. Another thirty-three percent can only get one car inside, for the same reason. I think about all of the storage units people […]
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 […]
What is the greatest desire of your heart right now? Does it have anything to do with Father? I know that His greatest desire is that His children acknowledge Him not only in word but in action. 1 John chapter 3 stresses that God’s people will follow Him and be righteous people without sin. “No […]
“They were at supper, and the Adversary had already put the desire to betray him into the heart of Y’hudah Ben-Shim’on (Judas) from K’riot.” ) Jesus knew what was about to happen. He also knew he would soon be returning to the Father, who had already given all authority to His Son. It was His […]
Have you ever called a friend who was physically suffering to be told, “I’m not very good company today?” That was the answer I heard years ago when I asked a friend if she was home. Her body was being taken over by cancer and she was in pain. She assumed I simply wanted to […]

Do you own a television? Most people in the United States would say yes. If I had to get rid of one major item in my home it would be the T.V. Many unnecessary issues in life revolve around the screen. There are disagreements over what to watch. The watcher’s become irritated if someone wants […]
Do you have a need to know how everything is going to work out? I was speaking with a young man who had a serious financial issue with a short timeline to avoid a huge loss. Every idea he came up with was shot down and the clock was ticking. In my attempt to help […]
Are you anxious about the future? Do you worry about having enough food or money? Perhaps you are concentrating on the wrong things. If you have not realized how different Father’s way is from our own, take a look at Matthew 6. If you want a reward from Father in heaven, don’t seek recognition for […]
What does the Bible really say about judging others? Jesus knew all too well what it was to be judged. In Mark 2 alone he was judged for healing a paralytic through forgiveness of his sins; eating with sinners and tax collectors; for failure of his disciples to fast, and for picking heads of grain […]
