God is not religion. Religion uses God. Read the book of John and realize the sacrifice He made for us and the promise He has made. Each of us has the opportunity for salvation. You do not have to change your lifestyle but hang on because Jesus will change it for you and you will…

There are so many things happening in life that can easily provoke anger and resentment. It is such an easy emotion to give into and a very difficult emotion to set aside. And the crazy part is that the anger does nothing to remedy, nothing to calm, nothing to bring peace to yourself. It solves…

Why does a loving God “allow” bad things? Why is life still so hard even when I recognize and acknowledge my Creator? I asked those questions so many times throughout life. Sometimes in a very angry and even condescending way. I felt I had a right to question the motives of God even though I…

For many years I judged others to be good or evil. I felt when someone wronged another they were simply an evil person. As I study scripture and understand the fight for our souls I realize now that people are not evil but rather influenced by evil even unbeknownst to them. They may think they…

I wish I had taken the time to understand scripture sooner. I wish I had paid more attention to the “nagging” questions that I would ignore regarding my purpose and God’s intent.

I watched a sermon by Greg Locke where he made a very valid point. We have a two party political system in which to be democrat diminishes being republican and being republican diminishes being democrat. A very obvious division. Now look at religion. We don’t have two denominations. We have hundreds of denominations. To be…

It saddens me sometimes watching how we treat one another. I swear it’s like when someone likes you they leave you alone but if they dislike you they go out of their way to try and tear you down. I seen this playing out this last week with an individual and it just turns my…

So many believe we don’t really know what happens after death (as did I not know.) Yet as I read and explore that which I avoided for so long I am finding so much evidence that we do know. The Bible has been proven by science and by historical documentation. Eye witness accounts that have…

I am not where I want to be but I know I am where God wants me to be. I struggle day to day but remain thankful for what I have and most importantly where I am going. The world seems to be falling apart yet I am content knowing that the decline in society…
