We have entered into the suffering of Jesus Christ to the Glory of God. We suffer that we might enter the fullness of God. The joy of serving God comes when we are obedient. Baptism is an act of obedience; Holy Communion is an action of your faith. II Timothy 3:12

"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." Our pain is the devil's pleasure. What the devil uses to hurt us, God uses it to help us. ...

You don't expect to find gold in a silver mine if you do. It is unexpected. Walking down the street, you don't expect to find money. When you do, what is your reaction? Learn to respond and not react to life's problems. Obstacles are always coming. Be prepared to deal with them as they come. Sometimes the best decision is not the right decision.

Learn to recognize the tricks of the enemy. The devil specializes in making the wrong things look right; ...

You don't need an application or a resume to start work. The new life in Christ is of a different structure. It is a transformation through the new birth, from PHYSICAL life to SPIRITUAL life. From Eternal Damnation to Eternal Life. We must become spiritual to be a witness for the Lord.

Are you suffering from a power outage? We must stay connected to the true vine and follow Jesus Christ. When we follow afar off, the light gets dim. We ought to let our little light shine everywhere we go. If the light goes out, we walk in darkness. In a world of darkness, you will stumble. If you fall, get up and keep going. Obstacles are sometimes hard to overcome. Sin not only makes our light dim but causes a power outage. Keep your power built up through prayer. Read the Wo...

Because of human nature, the appetite for sin is unquenchable. There is a craving effect never satisfied. If you are going to overcome sin, you must first realize what sin is and what the force of evil will do to your life. Sin is evil; the benefits of sin will cause you to die physically and spiritually. A man born once will die twice.

The natural man will die twice; the spiritual man will live forever. In the Bible, St. John 3:3 "Jesus...

Tomorrow always sounds good to get things done. Do it today. Life and time are not friends. When you spend your time doing nothing, nothing is what you get. The work of your hands should be productive. There is no work or reward in the graveyard.

Two hands can build a house; it takes a good heart to make a home. You must have a foundation to build on. Life is the foundation we build on. You should work today as if there is no tomorrow. You can not re...

Life is hard enough without the baggage we pick up along the way. A heavy load will hinder your success. Be careful don't let others drop their load on you. It is a daily struggle to walk upright. Avoid unhealthy relationships; be a good friend. You can't help a drug addict if you are an addict. Addiction is the beginning of many problems. Anger and bitterness hinder recovery. For some people, you have to love them at a distance. Just because you don't hang out with them does n...

The Bible is the Word of God revealing Jesus Christ as the Son of God and God the Son. Jesus and God are One; Jesus declares God as the Heavenly Father. God is our Creator and Keeper. God spoke all things into existence; God was there before there was. It was God that said, "Let there be." And the heavens and the earth were created by the Son (the Word). The Holy Spirit of God was active in the work of creation. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are eq...
