Matthew 23:12, ‘Anyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and anyone who humbles himself will be exalted.’

Why not trust God always with our life and our salvation? He is the one that created us and gave us life. He gave us perfect instructions on how to live and if we follow Him, we will have true happiness, peace, freedom and prosperity.
No man or the world for that matter can give us the things that God can. God made promises to us that can not be broken and as long as we do what He instructs us to do, those promises will be fulfilled. (more…)

Most of us usually know at least one person who is in one of the stages of alcoholism. They may drink excessively, can’t control their drinking, has tried to stop repeatedly, goes on binges, or just has no control over how much they drink. We may even be the person we know, but will not face the fact that we have a serious problem and are in denial of the situation. (more…)
September 23rd, 2012 John P Jesus tells us to love one another as I have loved you. God also commands us to do so. Why? Because they both have unconditional love for us and as God is the creator of all of us, we should obey Him, love Him and all our brothers and sisters as well.
God gave us free will to choose what we want to do with our thoughts, emotions, and how we act. God also gave us instructions on how we should live, think and act towards Him and our brothers and sisters. (more…)

The kingdom of heaven: Luke 12:29-31, ‘But you, you must not set your hearts on things to eat and things to drink; nor must you worry. It is the pagans of this world who set their hearts on all these things. Your Father well knows you need them. No; set your hearts on His kingdom, and these other things will be given you as well.’ (more…)

It is a cold, dark and sometimes lonely place and it is called “Despair”. It’s a negative feeling of hopelessness, one that can cause us to think and/or behave irrationally. It can wreck havoc on our well-being and our emotional state. (more…)

Psalm 32: 1-2, ‘Happy the man whose sins are forgiven, whose sins are blotted out; happy the man whom God accuses of no guilt, whose spirit is incapable of deceit!’
In order for us to be forgiven for our sins, we have to repent. Our heart needs to be heavy and contrite where we feel the burden of our sins. We must acknowledge our sins by looking inward. It is not easy for us to look at our selves and do a complete evaluation of our defects. (more…)

God mentions a spirit in Genesis 1:2, ‘Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, and God’s spirit hovered over the water.’
Spiritual beings known as “angels” are mentioned in Genesis 3:24, ‘He (God) banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden He posted the cherubs (angel of the second highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy), and the flame of a flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.’ (more…)

There are evil spirits known as demons or fallen angels. These evil spirits are out to destroy mankind. They can influence the minds of man.
They all have different roles and some are more powerful than others. If a person is strong enough to overcome one of the demons, the demon may go out to gather others and come back for another attack. (more…)

There are many people who are skeptical about the Word of God, the Bible. They will say things like, “Prove it.” or “Since it was written by many different people it couldn’t possibly be true.” Gods Word is true and the Bible is true, you can prove it. (more…)

A nation cannot enjoy the blessings of God and also rebel against Him. God will withdrawal His blessings and curse the nation. (more…)

Ecclesiasticus 18:7-14, ‘What is man, and what is his grace? And what is his good, or what is his evil? The number of the days of men at the most are a hundred years: as a drop of water of the sea are they esteemed: and as a pebble of the sand, so are a few years compared to eternity. Therefore God is patient in them, and poureth forth His mercy upon them. (more…)
