What is love according to the bible and am I showing enough of it? I don’t believe that Christians think about this topic very often. This world would be so much better if everyone asked themselves these questions, and cared about the answer they received. We are called to show love to others, so this should be a goal for each of us. The verses in I Corinthians 13:4-7 will tell us if we are showing love to others, if…
We can’t leave God out of our lives, our choices, or our plans. This includes any New Year Resolutions that we might make. When we include God, we can be confident that whatever happens, God is with us.
CHRISTMAS AND THE BIBLE I believe the question, “Is Christmas mentioned in the bible” is commonly asked. Incase you are wondering, the answer is no. This question, can spur on other questions like “What does the bible say about Christmas? Does the bible say we should celebrate Christmas once a year?, I will try to answer these and other questions today. The bible does not contain the word Christmas, but it does talk about it. In order to figure out…

I always use verses to relate everything I talk about back to scripture, back to God and His word. But this time I can not. I can’t because I have not been in His word myself.
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.James 5:16 Do you have a hard time asking people to pray? Me, not so much. I often ask for prayer when I am going through a tough situation, or something important is about to happen, for me or my family. How often do you admit that you have a sin you are struggling with?…
“So often I want to spend some one on one time with God but I don’t know how to. This morning I sat in front of my computer, bible next to me…”
Revelation, we need to read it! Many Christians are afraid to read the book of Revelation. We should not be afraid to read this prophecy. God gives us scripture for a reason, and if we reference II Timothy 3:16 we can see what that reason is. God didn’t give us 65 books of the bible, He gave us 66. That 66th book was given to us for the same reason as the others. We don’t need to be afraid of…
How to submit to God, and what does it mean? As a Christian you probably have heard many times that you need to submit to God. You may or may not already know what this means or think that you know what it means. But, let me ask you this. Do you know how to submit to God? Therefore submit to God.
