How, then, do we walk with God and grow closer to Him? Just as we do with our children, the most important way is by spending time with Him—listening to Him as He speaks to us in the Bible, and talking with Him in prayer. Just as human friendships wither and die if we never spend time together, so our relationship with God will grow cold if we neve…

Get the picture. Habakkuk lists all the evidence of emptiness and despair and sorrow in this world, a fig tree not blossoming, no fruit on the vines, the olive having no product, the fields yielding no food, the flock is cut off from the fold. There’s no herd in the stalls. It was just empty. Everything is empty and dry and barren in this world. Th…

About a hundred years before, at Jonah's preaching, the Ninevites repented, and were spared, yet, soon after, they became worse than ever. Nineveh knows not that God who contends with her but is told what a God he is. It is good for all to mix faith with what is here said concerning Him, which speaks great terror to the wicked, and comfort to belie…

In the past few weeks, people all around the world have become familiar with coronavirus (COVID-19), which has resulted in great fear and concern by many. And just when we think we have learned all there is to know about COVID-19, a new day comes, and we find out something else that results in even greater concern. Only God knows how serious this v…

Once we accept Him we are a p…

The topic will be “Managing Perceptions, Expectations, and Perspectives Godly" Perceptions and expectations are frequently inter-dependent. Often our expectations are the result of our perceptions. Sometimes our expectations, including the fail…

We know it's difficult for parents, spouses, friends, other family members, and churches to navigate relationships with individuals who identify as gay or lesbian. We love them and want what's best for them, but our faith clearly teaches that God designed marriage to be between a man and a woman. We want to love and understand them, to show them Go…

There are over 600 hate sites on the web, some specifically designed to attract children. Pedophiles and other sexual predators are also a lurking danger on the internet. An FBI agent posing as a teenage girl logged into a chat room limited to 23 children. The 22 other "youths" all turned out to be adults seeking improper contact with her. A man br…

Anxiety, worry, and tension are some of the most destructive forces we can face. They sap our strength and slowly undermine our faith, keeping us from maturing in the Lord (Luke 8:14). If we are to grow in our relationship with Jesus, we must discover God's plan for freedom from the crippling cycle of stress.…

Many Christians have this wrong idea that a Christ-follower has to be so accepting of other people that we would never stay away from them even if their presence in our lives is toxic and harmful; that we should always be there for them and help them see the light.

How to conquer the feelings of depression during the holidays

Suicide. The word has a frightening air of finality. Laden with hopelessness, despair, and tragedy, it is a word that everyone wants to keep at arms' length.
