Hebrews 13:16 (NKJV) 16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Doing good is a vital characteristic of a Christian. When we do good, we are following in the steps of Jesus. Acts 10:36-38 (ESV) 36 As for the word that he sent to […]
Psalm 103:2 (ESV) 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, This is a Psalm of David, and he knew a little something about praising God. Maybe that was be-cause he had been forgiven so much. Despite the sins David committed against God, he was still richly blessed by his […]
The grace of God is revealed to us in a variety of ways. The greatest of all, of course, is by the manifestation of His Son in the flesh, and His ultimate sacrifice for our sins on the cross. Another demonstration of God’s grace is His revealed Word. Without revelation to guide us in the […]
Reminiscing is something we all like to do once in a while. Remembering the “good ole days” allows us to forget about the present problems of life. Fond memories can make us feel good.

There are several hundred denominations in the world today, all of whom claim to be following the same Lord and living by the same Bible. The problem is they all wear different names, teach different doctrines, and practice different works. People in the world are turned off by this and tend to reject God and […]
No one denies that we are saved by grace. The Bible makes this abundantly clear. Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV) 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. It is […]
This is one of the saddest truths in the Bible. Jesus spoke this truth in His Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 7:13-14 (ESV) 13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate […]
