I’ve asked, and I am positive you have too: “How long, Lord?” The scripture is very clear. God Almighty has a holy plan and is perfectly working that plan, including acting in the perfect time. Including acting at the right time for you and me! Jesus was born in the fullness of time. (Galatians 4:4)…

EVERY challenge, no matter whether minor or miserable, is an opportunity to respond God’s way. Don’t ask “Why?” Ask “What?” Ask “How?” What do You want me to do? What opportunity are You giving me? How can I serve You in this? How can I use this to make You known? Remember, Christian, God is…

We underestimate God. Understanding and trusting God, having a settled belief that He is working His holy plan in everything, including what affects you, is critical to peacefully and righteously living each day. What is more: The day ahead of you has been specifically God-made. You (that is, Christians, those have received Jesus Christ as…

Someone tells you he or she loves you. Should you believe it? There are a minimum of 4 criteria to examine before believing/relying on a promise: Someone told you he/she loves you. Who is this person? Does this person have good character? What has he/she shown in the past/present about who they are? Can you…

Whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 John 5:4–5) YOU*, child of God, believer in Jesus Christ, you who have received Jesus Christ…

God created us. We are accountable to and dependent on Him. We are definitely human with all the gifts and frailties of humans. We are sinners, having rebelled against our Creator. And yet. God sent His Son to save those who repent and believe. For those who have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior,…

God loves you* and me* because He chose to love you (and me). God chose us before  the foundation of the world. (Ephesians 1:4) God chose us before we had done anything good or bad. (Romans 9:11) God doesn’t lie (Titus 1:2).  God doesn’t change (Malachi 3:6; James 1:17). God has no second thoughts! Once…

We were created for God’s glory. Which means we are to glorify God. (See Created for God’s Glory) The first step is to repent and believe in Christ. Salvation is essential. Until a person has received Christ as Lord and Savior, that person and God are enemies. (Romans 5:10) But! Once we are saved, we…

Humans were made to glorify God.* Everyone who is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, even whom I have made.  (Isaiah 43:7) Some, though, have rejected God. (Romans 1:18-32) But some of us have repented, and have believed in Jesus Christ and the God who…
