Jesus said, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9) This scripture was surely intended to encourage and strengthen God’s followers, and remind them not to fear. We can count on that same strength today as well, if we remind ourselves to follow God in trust and obedience. Does God’s promise to Joshua and Israel in Joshua…..
Are you praying for Christians worldwide? According to a new report for the U. K. Catholic group, Aid to the Church in Need, Christians could soon be extinct from entire regions of the world. You can read the story at http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2015/October/A-World-with-No-Christians-Report-Shows-Disturbing-Trend/ In my own trip to the Middle East about 5 years ago, I observed firsthand the dwindling number of Christians there. I also realized that in America, we get so used to freedom of religion that we forget what…..
For we know Him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” (Hebrews 10:30) In the Scripture above there is found great foreboding.

That can be comforting when you see another person getting away with some sinful behavior. God…..
In case you missed it, nearly 8,00 people filled Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas on Sunday to hear Republican presidential candidates make their case on important issues. You can read the article at http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/politics/2015/October/Time-to-Bring-God-Back-Candidates-Woo-Evangelicals/. Some candidates brought up the Planned Parenthood videos, some brought up their pro-life credentials, and some brought up the need to return to a Christian America. While I tend to vote on the fiscal issues more than the social issues, I believe this discussion is much…..
Are you trusting in Christ’s promise that he will come again? Jesus promised his disciples that he would do just that. John 14:1-3 says, “Let not your heart be troubled…In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may…..
Are you prone to self-pity? It is easy to feel sorry for ourselves when we are overwhelmed with so many responsibilities and burdens. At those times, we should remember Matthew 11:28-30: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my…..
