Encouragement For Christian Living
As Christians, we humble ourselves and submit to the Almighty God. By submitting to His authority and following His commandments, we receive grace to overcome temptation, strength to endure trouble, and power to resist the devil and make him flee. Being humble doesn’t come natural to us and it isn’t always easy, but it is […]
A Prayer for Freedom “Raise your hand if you currently suffer from depression.” This was the instruction that the pastor gave as he stood in front of the congregation. The sanctuary grew quiet. Hands began to gradually rise and people started looking around. Some of those with their hand in the air looked a bit […]
When I think about who I am in comparison to who He is, it overwhelms me. I’m so undeserving of His love and kindness, yet He pours them onto me freely. He will withhold no good thing from me. At times I haven’t had much, yet I’ve never been in lack. As an earthly father to […]
We don’t “have” time for anything, we cannot “make” time for something, and we do not have to “find” time because it’s not hidden. It’s right here. We exist in it. Sure, these are just sayings that we use, but bear with me here as I try to make a point. Time is not something that […]
We love food. This can make fasting difficult for us, especially if we’re not used to it. However, it’s worth the sacrifice because spending time in prayer and fasting can be very rewarding. Through our time of abstinence from eating (or another type of sacrifice), doors can be opened, healing can rain down from every […]
As I lay in bed that night, somewhere in-between sleep and awake, I murmured these words out loud: “I’m not much. All I have is a willing heart, but I offer it to you.” Immediately afterward I fell asleep. The next day at church, the pastor got up to speak and He preached a whole […]
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed to God three times to make sure that there was no way to save us other than with His death on the cross. Just like any of us, He didn’t really want to suffer. Still, His prayers all ended with an affirmation that He was ready and willing […]
Have there been times when you’ve said, or heard someone else solemnly say something like: “Well, I guess all we can do now is trust God,” or “All we can do now is pray?” A lot of times when faced with a difficult problem, we turn to God only after we’ve tried everything in our […]
Leaving God to go back to the pleasures of this world,would be the same as leaving a table spread with a warm feast for a cold turkey sandwich. Doing so would leave us feeling unfulfilled, unsatisfied, and downright foolish. Still, sometimes when we see the “beautiful” and “successful” people of the world, we can be […]
Imagine this. You’re cleaning your room and as you pick up the broom and begin to sweep, your eyes slowly turn and look down at the floor. You pause and stop dead in your tracks as your eyes widen. Sitting there in the middle of the floor and possibly staring back up at you is […]
How many times have you gone online to check out the reviews of something that you were interested in, only to find the remarks so horrendous and frightening that it made you forget the idea altogether? Most likely, there have been a few times. Other people’s thoughts and conclusions seem to have a large amount […]
