Things are already in motion leading up to the return of Jesus.

You can have a place of belonging and an eternal purpose - in Christ.

The saving power of Jesus Christ overpowers all our insecurities.

Jesus is coming soon, and the stage is set for a war that will separate those who follow Jesus from all the rest who don't.

Do you understand the difference between punishment and discipline?

The King has issued a decree that you are to be courageous and stand against whatever the world sends against you.

Thankful people are generous. Unthankful people are selfish. Which are you?

Don't let sin take root in your heart. Confess it on the day you are made aware of it.

In our efforts to please them, we ignore far too much of the influence of sin in our family's lifestyle choices.

Are you living constantly in the hope that is joyfully yours that God will fulfill every promise He ever made?

Every choice has a consequence, and God, in His holy justice, enforces them all.

Sometimes I wonder who we think we are that we can bring sin into God's presence.

I will never forget the day it happened, but do I tell the story enough?

Never will the follower of Jesus suffer the eternal consequences of sin.

No man can claim what God possesses and what He has given to someone else.

In which place will you stand before God on that day?

One Day we will see Jesus face to face. What a day of rejoicing that will be.

What personal strings have you attached to worshiping God?

Meekness is not weakness. It is power under control, and living that way promises great reward.

Don't bury feelings. Share them openly with Jesus and watch His comfort flood your soul.

A view of the consequences of sin keep us growing in the marvel of God's grace.

You cannot love more than one Master. Choose carefully.

There's a line in the sand and each person must choose which side to stand on.

God isn't so interested in what you can do. He wants to see who you become.

Do you use God to lift you up or does He use you to lift Him up?

When we look at age from God's perspective, we are all still youth.

Don't miss what God is doing around because you are using only one eye to see what you want to see.

Why is it so hard for us to be in a constant attitude of praise to God?

Someday, When Jesus returns, all our memories of the past will be wiped away.

The biggest cause of discouragement is assigning to much value to our past.

What have you chosen to replace God with so you can seek personal fulfillment and gratification?

As followers of Jesus we are called to grow in grace and love, not judgment.

Stop following gods of your imagination and turn to the One and Only True God.

Be the one who stands up for Christ in every area of your life and reminds people that He is coming again.

It is possible to upgrade your operating system so you never have to fear viruses again.

If you have experienced the triumphal entry of Christ into your life then there's one more coming.

Did you know that when you get the heaven you will have a new name?

Love for God produces love for people, and love gives us courage to speak up.
