WHAT IS AN ANGEL AND WHAT DO THEY DO? As we are getting closer to Christmas and into the Christmas season, we tend to think about angels a little more. The other time we focus a lot on angels is when someone close to us dies. This is because we have a preconceived notion on God’s angel and their duties in this world. Let’s see how close our understanding of this topic aligns with scripture. WHAT AN ANGEL IS NOT…
Beautiful Creations of God It is so easy to get discouraged or get overwhelmed with sadness. This is because we are living in a world that was created by God, but not ruled by God. The more we surround ourselves with the presence of God, the more we will be encouraged, and can encourage others who are struggling. One way to surround ourselves in the presence of God, is to look to the beautiful creations of God! I hope these…
Today we are going to look at a verse, and passage, that many have questions about. It’s the passage where Jesus talks about a camel going through the eye of a needle, verses, a rich man entering the kingdom of God.
But the Lord said, “You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night. And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left—and much livestock?” JONAH 4:10-11 We can learn a lot from Jonah. We can relate to him more than…
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.

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?…
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.
