When the going gets rough, look up, for God has a plan for your life and you are going through a time that will show you God’s greatness. You see if you did not go through something, how will you know what God can do?

The first phrase that I am attracted to is, “Give thanks to God. The Bible is filled with psalms of thanksgiving. We should not take God for granted, but give God thanks in everything ( 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18), not only when things are going well, but when they are not. God is in control and all things work together for our good. When we give God thanks, we …

When you are feeling overwhelmed because of the problems you face, do not give up on yourself, because God has a plan for your life, and he is working everything out for your good and for His glory. You may feel doubtful, but trust God. Why should you trust God for your life?
You trust God because He is your father, and you are His child. Any father would want good …
You should not question God when you are going through trials of any kind, and even when things are not going your way. If you are a believer, you must exercise faith and trust God for what He is doing in your life. God may be taking you through trials to teach you something about yourself, bringing you out of darkness to light, and remaking you so you can glorify …
Your family members may have experienced the effects of the pandemic either from sickness, death, or loss of jobs. As you read about the war in Ukraine, the gun violence which has plagued our nation, and the uncertainty that we have experienced daily, you and I feel a sense of helplessness, pain, and anger about life in general.
We feel a sense of helplessness, pain, …

Mom, you are special, beautiful, and strong. You have been through the storms, but you depended on God to bring you through, and He did. You are an overcomer because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 5:5).
You are a woman of faith who believes that all things are possible with God, so you have pressed your way through the difficulties, …

These past two weeks, I did just that. There were a series of positive incidents that allowed me to see that God’s hands are on my life and that I can do nothing without him.
First, I was getting on YouTube live streaming on Saturday, and just did not get the whole picture and …
In the gospel of Mark chapter 2: verse 15-17 Jesus Christ was sitting at the table among publicans and sinners and the Scribes and the Pharisees were troubled over that. In his reply to them, Jesus said, they that are whole have no need of a physician but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
Jesus likened …

Today, I will define guilt, give examples on how your guilt came about, how to deal with guilty feelings, and put them behind you, and lastly discuss what the Bible has to say about the origin of sin and how Jesus came to reconcile us back to God.
Guilt is defined as an action that you commit to hurt or harm someone physically or emotionally and you feel sorry about …
During this life-journey, and particularly during this pandemic, we may experience suffering, depression due to loss of jobs, challenges to put food on our tables or difficulties keeping our children focused at home, but we must not lose hope. God knows that we live in a fallen world, that all have sinned and fall short of his glory.
We can no longer point fingers at …
In John 8:12, Jesus says, “I am the light of the World.” We know that the word of God is true. God sent His Son, Jesus, to the earth to redeem humanity from the curse of sin and death (Gal 3:13) Without the shedding of blood, there could be no remission of sin, so Jesus died once so that we could have forgiveness of sin through him.
What benefits do you and I …
