What if you knew Jesus would come back in less than 20 years? Would anything change in you? Would you start seeking Him more and building a right and righteous relationship with Him? Or would you just relax knowing you had roughly 20 years before you give your life to Him? Would you stay calm or would you worry? Would you live still in sin or would you repent and leave it all behind to follow Jesus? Would you laugh at the one who told you this or would you take their message as a warning? I can say for a fact that not one person knows when the coming of the Lord Jesus will be here. When He will finally return to reap His harvest and to separate the lambs from the goats. Matthew 25: 31-32 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats." Did you know that the mark of th...

I know many of you have heard of "WWJD" (What Would Jesus Do?). But in all honesty, how many times do you actually think this phrase and act accordingly? Do you actually think of this phrase before doing something that might be bad?  I can tell you that most of us won't do this and we don't care for repeating this phrase before doing/watching/listening or playing something. We just think "oh that was a different time He in."  That statement though it is true can be very tricky.  Well let me ask you this. Do you know what sin is? Can you explain to someone what sin is without quoting the 10 commandments? Well let me explain what sin is. Sin is not WHAT you do, but instead WHO you do it against. Here's an example: Let's say we take a lie. Now a lie doesn't seem so bad right? We all lie. So let's say you lie to a little 5 year old kid. What can that child do to you? Nothing! They have no authority to do anything. ...

So this subject might be a little touchy but i feel it needs to be told. I was talking with a friend about a week or so ago and i told her a little bit of God. I'm not sure how the conversation began but we started talking about religion and how we both are not into religion and how we view God. Well my friend (let's say her name is Sarah) started telling me that God is love and she believes that her relationship with God is a good relationship. So i started explaining to her that God is not only love but He is also Holy. She agrees to this so i go on. I tell her that God is perfect and when the Angels in heaven should praise to God, they don't shout "God is love, God is love, God is love!" or even that God is righteous. They shout "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE GOD ALMIGHTY!" This of course she agrees with and we continue our chat. I then tell her more about God and if she reads the Bible since she says she has a good relationship with God. She tells me ...

Everything you do and everything you watch or say or play has an affect on your life. I can't tell you how many times i have heard "it's just a song" or "everybody does it", "what's so bad about it?" and so on. I'm telling you this because i know many who play video games or listen to bad music (meaning non-Christian music) who say they are Christians but they think it's fine. Everything is "fine" if you live for the world or if you compare the things you do to what others do. Then of course you can say "well that person does this... And that person does that... At least i'm not doing this..." those are the worlds thoughts. "You are what you eat". This also applies to "you are what you do" or "you are what you watch" and so on. Everything we do affects us even if you don't notice it. Maybe some of you have heard the saying "tell me who your friends are and i will tell y...

Have you ever had those struggling times when you are not sure whats going on and what you must do? I'm actually going through one of those right now. Everything seems to be against me and I can't seem to find a way out of it. I try and try but nothing helps. I am actually still searching for what is right and what is wrong with everything I do in life in my day to day walk with Christ. It's hard and frustrating something and there are days when you feel like Christ has left you all alone and you must figure everything out on your own. We try and try but can't find that peace in our own hearts. We scream and lash out at God because we think He doesn't hear us and we cry out to Him because we want His attention. Now i'm not saying that God doesn't hear us or that our walk with Christ is going to be easy. In fact, our walk with Christ is the HARDEST thing we can ever do. It's a struggling battle and very spiritually draining. As I'm writing t...

I was talking to a co-worker today and he told me that I was good. (A good person) I then quoted to him "There is none good, no not one" referring to the Bible verse:  "No one is righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:10 He then responds with "you don't think you are good?" I relied with "no. I'm not." He proceeds to ask me "Then you don't think anyone is good?" "No one is good, only the Father is good. God is good" I continue with "I can even go through the commandments with you to show you." I didn't go through the commandments with him but he understood my point already. He still replied with "Well, you're a good person by human standards" I just laughed at his remark to keep complimenting.  We talked a little more about God and how it is important to do the right things. My co-worker then (like most people) started commenting on how he respects what others believe...

I say "love yourself" because often we don't love ourselves. In fact, some may not know this but they hate themselves. Some don't think they hate themselves but in reality, they do. Have you ever heard the quote "you can't love others if you don't love yourself". It's true. How can a person say to someone else that they love them if they don't love themselves? If i don't love myself, then i don't respect myself. And to love oneself is to respect oneself and to not want harm to come to oneself. Let me ask you this.     If you care for someone, do you want harm to come to them? Or do you want them to be safe? Well the answer should be obvious. You would want that person out of harms way. So check and see if you love yourself. If you know that you don't then here's a little thing you can try to help you to start loving yourself because Jesus loves you and you should too. Get a notebook or a piece of paper and a pen. Star...
