It has become quite common to talk about heaven like it was some remote destination that we will go to in the distant future. However, if we read the Bible, we will get a completely different picture. Heaven is described as the dwelling place of God. As He has always lived, the space, home, or... Continue Reading →
The Only Friend
We set one foot in Heaven the moment we begin to walk through our day along with our Lord and Savior. It often happens when our scene here on earth looks the bleakest. Finally, we stop counting on ourselves, our strength, and our wisdom. It may be a painful turn for us to make. But... Continue Reading →
Within Reach
It is just like our wonderful and mysterious God to place the most powerful and helpful things available to each of us, just within our reach. We do not have to be the cleverest scholars out there to figure out where we are heading or where we came from. We do not need to feel... Continue Reading →

It usually happens when we are tired of following what other professed believers are doing and saying, and we drive ourselves into an... Continue Reading →
To God Be The Glory
Sometimes our religious fervor reaches a point where we feel the need to glorify God. Perhaps He has done something for us that we are extremely grateful for or saved us from some painful situation.

God Instead Of The World
