IS IT AN INSULT, A CORRECTION, OR AN ENCOURAGEMENT?
Have you ever experienced a moment of peace and relaxation in your life, where you feel so joyful, singing to the Lord, or meditating on His goodness? That moment may not even be a long one. For instance, you might have experienced a brief peaceful moment in the Lord, whether it is when you are…

ARE WE TRULY FREE IN THE LORD, OR ARE WE EXPERIENCING ANOTHER KIND OF IMPRISONMENT IN HIM?
In Luke 4:18, Jesus Christ said, “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind to set the oppressed free.” The title question above originated from the…

THE ALL-TIME SATAN’S TRICKS THAT ALL CHRISTIANS SHOULD KNOW
There are countless treasures in being in God’s presence. In His presence, there are treasures that you cannot find anywhere else. They are simply priceless. I will focus on one of the treasures we get when we are in the presence of God. Once you start spending time with God consistently, one of the things…

IS GOD ASKING YOU TO WAIT ON HIM, A LACK OF HIS ABILITY TO DELIVER?
It is strange to think that even when dealing with God, we must wait sometimes. We tend to question how this is even possible because we know Him to be All-powerful. Can’t God do whatever He wants, whenever He wants, and with whomever He wants to? I once thought that the word ‘wait’ would be…

WHEN JESUS STEPS INTO A ROOM
I know these may not be the best examples to use, but they are the ones that best fit what I am trying to say. Having said that, there are two movies that most of us, if not all of us, are familiar with: “Casper”, a 1995 American Supernatural film by Brad Silberling, and the…

GOD AND INSULT
I remember observing two people having an altercation in which one person became increasingly agitated, using a variety of provoking words, while the other person remained calm and quiet. When I asked her why she didn’t defend herself against such disrespect, she said, ‘You don’t have to dress up and show up to every party…

GOD DOESN’T CALL THE QUALIFIED, BUT HE QUALIFIES THE CALLED
Often, we feel overwhelmed when we don’t know what to study as a career, especially in 12th grade. We want to pursue the right career because every college class we take must count toward our career goals. Nothing is scarier than taking a bunch of irrelevant courses in college, not knowing what you want to…

I DESERVE TO BE HERE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. PLEASE GIVE ME A FAIR CHANCE (ABORTION)
This article is not to judge anyone who has had an abortion, nor is it to judge anyone who is planning to have an abortion. Its purpose is to help us better understand God’s perspective on the matter. It is one of the most difficult articles for me to write about, but I am led…

A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF MATTHEW 24:14 “AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED IN THE WHOLE WORLD AS A TESTIMONY TO ALL NATIONS.”
There is not a day that goes by that we mustn’t take a moment to celebrate Jesus for His intentionality, discipline, and consistency in bringing us the Good News of the Kingdom of God. Had He given up on His assignment to save the world from sin, we all would have already perished. Jesus must…

LET’S DIG A LITTLE INTO 1 JOHN 4:4: “GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD.”
Sometimes we can get caught up in just reading passages of Scripture without taking the time to meditate on them to see the depth of God’s Word to us. I don’t know how many times I’ve quoted Bible verses and realized years later that there is more to the Biblical text than I originally thought.…
