In the spiritual realm, darkness represents evil, and light represents truth and righteousness. When we were lost in sin, we loved the darkness and were comfortable in it, but all of that should change when we receive Jesus Christ as Savior. "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." -John 3:20-21  Read More

We know quite well that being a Christian does not exempt us from trials and tribulations. We also know that the Lord preserves us through them all. "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." -Daniel 3:24-25  Read More

Being an intelligent person can be a blessing, but unfortunately, there are many wise fools in our world today.

In the heat of trial and tribulation, when our faith is being severely tested, we can be tempted to panic. We must be mindful to pray, and to pray in faith. "And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?" - Mar.k 4:37-38  Read More

It is okay to begin the Christian life with ignorance about God‘s Word, but it is not at all good to stay that way. "And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?"  - Mark 2:25  Read More

There’s only one way to escape the judgment of God for our sins, and that is by faith in Jesus Christ. When we do so, there There’s for us. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” -Romans 8:1  Read More

We know all too well that our flesh continually resists prayer. How much more challenging would it be if prayer were against the law? "Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime." - Daniel 6:10  Read More

We are really good at talking about faith when all is well, but our true faith is revealed in the moment of our most severe trials. Our Lord Jesus set the example for us. "He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God." - Matthew 27:43  Read More

There is so much that is wrong in our world right now with sin bounding and the righteous often suffering mistreatment. But God is on the throne, and He has always been. "The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting." Psalm 93:1-2  Read More

The Lord gave us bodies to last, but not forever in this life. As time goes on, they break down, and eventually, death comes. But that is not the end of the story. "And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body." - Romans 8:23  Read More

It is a blessing to have intelligence, strength, and abilities. But perhaps more importantly, we need to have an excellent spirit like Daniel.

The belief that all roads lead to God is false. It is a device of the devil to deceive people who do not know the Scriptures. "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour." - Isaiah 43:11  Read More
