Jesus Christ is Building an Organization

Jesus Christ is building an administration. He is calling us to be kings and priests, and we will reign on the Earth with Him (Revelation 5:10). God is organized. We can look all around us and see symmetry, coordination, and interdependence. Throughout His Creation, from the planets and stars of galaxies beyond, to the smallest [...]

When Your Hope is Hanging By a Thread

 
 
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
I’m sure there have been times in your life when you’ve felt like giving up or letting go of some ethereal dream. A time that finally [...]

What is Our Desire?

Oniomania is a medical term describing the compulsive desire to shop. It is generally considered a pathology. However, given our current economic crisis, governments and corporations alike wouldn’t mind if we were all stricken with a little oniomania.

How about you? Have you felt the desire to shop lately? Do you feel a patriotic duty to [...]

God’s Plan of Supernatural Provision

The time has come for God’s people to break free from financial bondage. Our Father enables us to be free of every financial problem. He wants us to remove the challenges of making ends meet, a lack of steady employment, and excessive debt. God wants us to enjoy a purpose-filled life (Deut 28:1-8, 11). God’s [...]

An Invitation for True Knowledge and Wisdom

My in-laws told a story set in the not-too-distant past where people they knew used to brag about the drinking competitions they engaged in during  lunch, at work.

From the 5th to the 10th Degree

I’m an advocate of the ‘old school.’ I like being old fashioned in more ways than I can count. One of the most important items considered old fashion today is the Bible. It’s pretty old, but by no means is it ‘old fashion.’ The Bible may be old, but the more we read it, the [...]

A Mother’s Love

inside my mother’s womb,
born so beautiful like flowers in bloom.
She didn’t have an abortion
because she cares;
she had shown me love, compassion without fear.
Tears ran from her eyes as she cried,
the nurse slapped me on my bottom,

When I uttered a cry she was full of joy.
The nurse then [...]

Till Death Do Us Part

Teenagers today are immersed in a world that glamorizes violence, sexuality, and the hedonistic lifestyle. Homicide and suicide remain amongst the leading causes of death for the 15-24 year old age group. This discouraging trend shows no indication of decline and only scratches the surface of the turmoil young people face today—most of which is [...]

One Wish and One Wish Only

Imagine you are stranded on the most desolate island tired, hungry, and thirsty. Beyond the horizon, you see a bright shining light; you start walking towards it hoping for some sort of survival equipment.
