Why, O’ Lord, Do People Hurt Me?
People hurt you and tried to bring you down, they thought you were done for. But you rose up again and again. The people you thought were supposed to help you hurt you. The people who you thought was supposed to love you, envied and hated you. All you were trying to do was love […]
Looking for Your True Love?
Are You Searching for True Love? Are you looking for your soulmate—someone to love you and make your life feel complete? It’s natural to believe that everything will fall into place if you just find that one person. But often, the love you’re seeking outside of yourself isn’t what you truly need, especially if you […]
Dealing with Sin in the Body
I was thinking about a saying I hear where it says to, “love the sinner and hate the sin.” It came to me that it isn’t easy to do that. Separate the sin and the sinner. I am not sure who came up with that phrase. I think it was meant to tell people to […]
God, where are you when bad things happen?
Does God let things happen to you? I was reading a book where a person asked, “Where was God when I was being abused as a child?” Isn’t God all knowing, all seeing, and all powerful? Then how could he let this happen to an innocent child. Well the answer she was given was, “I […]
The 60’s. The Hippies got it wrong
“Yeah, man, peace, make love, not war.” I think the Hippie movement of, “love the one you’re with,” got it all wrong. They got God’s message to love one another wrong. He meant agape, to love selflessly or unconditionally. The sacrificial love of Christ is an example of the love God wanted spread throughout the […]
God Can Heal your broken heart
I don’t understand why some people choose to break another’s heart. “She was happy—laughing, smiling, singing, dancing—without a care in the world. Something inside told me to prepare my heart for despair.” The man was heartbroken when he discovered his wife had been having an affair at work. He thought she loved him, and he […]
Halloween, Hell, and Hades; Satan loves sin
Revelation 1:18 (NIV): “I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.” As I walk through stores, I see images—some gruesome, others cute—candies, lights, and costumes, all preparing for Halloween. This event has become more widely celebrated than […]
The Devil Comes to Kill, Steal, and Destroy
There’s a well known scripture: John 10:10 King James Version (KJV): “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” The church is at war with an enemy. In this world we can’t just […]
God gives us seeds, the devil gives us weeds
I was speaking to someone about how God gives us good seeds to nurture in life. These seeds are the dreams he places in our hearts at conception. We have. choice to follow these dreams and tend to them. We can’t see what they are going to turn into until we are far into the […]
God is Anxiously Waiting for your Return
Sin separates us from God. We often don’t realize that something inside of us dies when we sin. Our relationships die and we lose a part of our soul. There are so many negative things about sin that it makes it difficult for us to return to God. Shame, guilt, fear, doubt, anger, even despising […]
