Troubled times fall on us all. We lose something we are not prepared to lose. And our lives come to a screeching halt. Our spirits plummet out of control. We lose the desire to fight. The dark times show us we need help. While we were on top of the world, we didn´t need to... Continue Reading →
When to Witness
Some preach that it is the Christian calling and duty to get out there and convert others to their beliefs.

Physical to Spiritual
As long as we see our lives as only physical, the Holy Spirit hasn´t yet begun to teach us about God and His ways.

The Correct Order of Our Existence
Our Creator made us for Him. We should be fully enthralled with Him and walking closely with our Savior. The Bible instructs us toward no other way to be. Being religious cannot cover our need to come into contact with God. Read of Christ´s dealings with the Pharisees for proof. They had their beliefs. They... Continue Reading →

Our Emergency Today
It could be dark forces, or it could be our fallen hearts. But someone is tampering with our chances of ending up with God. If we fail to see any urgency to right ourselves with the Lord, we have our proof. Each of us needs the Savior. And we need Him today! The moment we... Continue Reading →
Learning to Wait on God
We may only take a few steps toward the Lord before discovering He works to a different time clock. His timing and ours are not the same. He sees with perfect clarity and works to a separate agenda from ours. But, if we are serious about following our Savior, He will lead us into His... Continue Reading →
