There have always been those among us who have advocated the idea that Christians can be found in every denomination. In times past it was popular among more liberal-minded brethren to declare that the pious un-immersed, particularly those in various denominations, were saved. In some circles that error is making a comeback. Is there any […]
I once heard a famous actor being asked the question, “What if there really is a heaven?” The actor’s response was, “If there is a heaven, he (God) has a lot of explaining to do.” I am not sure what this actor had on his mind when he made that statement, but the thought is […]
Raising teenagers is not a job for wimps. No book can prepare you for the ordeal—you just have to live through it. While teenagers can be extremely thoughtful and caring, they can also be willful and rebellious. Well-behaved teenagers are extremely impressive, but a teenager on a rampage can be difficult to handle. One thing […]
We have seen this week that our homes are under satanic attack. The devil knows that if he can wreck our homes by destroying our families, ruining our marriages, and corrupting our children, he is going to hurt the cause of Christ and cause many souls to be lost. Sadly, he has won battles in […]
The value of the good wife is almost inexpressible. Proverbs 12:4 (ESV) 4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband… Proverbs 18:22 (ESV) 22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.

The home, with traditional marriage as the centerpiece, is the building block of every civilized society. Sadly, it is under satanic attack. There is, however, a way that we can fight back against the devil. As Christians, we can make sure that our homes have characteristics that are pleasing to God—characteristics of a Christian. A […]
The power of prayer is unquestioned by those who call themselves Christians. After all, it can change the mind of God (2 Kings 20:1-6). For us to tap into the full potential of prayer, however, we must pray with faith. If we do not pray with full assurance of faith, the only thing we can […]
Let’s face it, unspiritual people do not pray very often. If you want to have an active prayer life, the first thing you must do is make sure that you are faithful to God and committed to His ways. You must have a mind that is focused on heaven and heavenly things. Colossians 3:1-2 (ESV) […]

It turns prayer into a mere recitation of words instead of an honest approach to God’s throne. Jesus condemned this kind of praying. Matthew 6:7 […]
