If we as Christians expect to become better Christians and grow in our faith, we must abide in Christ. Jesus teaches this clearly in John 15:3–8 (KJV): “[3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.[4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. [5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for w

God will work it. He will turn all of our problems around for our benefit and our good. Romans 8:28 declares: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” This text illustrates that there is nothing God will not do to support His people in overcoming the obstacles, hardships, and difficulties of life. Paul states that “all things work together for good to them that love God.” The phrase “all t

We previously discussed the characteristics of those who live according to the flesh and those who live according to the Spirit. The next question Paul answers in Romans 8 is: What actually makes a person one or the other? Thus ultimately what makes one More Than A Conqueror! Paul gives clarity in Romans 8:7–10: “[7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. [8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot ple

Based on Romans 8:5-6, Galatians 5:19-25 and John 3:5-8 If you desire to be more than a conqueror, your mindset must be changed to align with the mind of God. The mindset and lifestyle of those who are more than conquerors are distinctly different from the world. According to the Apostle Paul, there are two types of people who possess two distinctly different mindsets, each producing a different outlook on life: After the flesh leads to death After the Spirit leads to life Pa

Based on Matthew 25:34-40 As servants of Jesus Christ, we are compelled to follow Him not only in word, but in character, and that character is love. Jesus said in John 14:15, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” True love is not just something we feel true love is something we obey. When we enter into a new relationship with God through Christ, obedience becomes the evidence of that relationship. Love always reveals itself through action. So our experience with Christ comp

Based on I John 4:7 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. " God is the source of love because God is love. Our love is only an extension of God’s love for us.  Romans 5:8 states, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  God demonstrated his love for us in that we are saved from our sins by Christ death on Calvary’s cross.  Jesus became a propit

Based on Ephesians Chapter 2 There was a time when we were spiritually dead, trapped in sin, and separated from God. We followed the ways of the world and lived according to desires that could never truly satisfy. But God did not leave us in that condition. Because of His great love and mercy, He made us alive together with Christ. What we could not do for ourselves, God did for us through Jesus. Salvation is not something we earn by being good enough or doing enough. It is a

We are a culture that relishes in worrying. We are constantly stimulated by the cable news stations whipping us into a frenzy about the actions of our local government officials, state government officials and our nation’s federal government officials. Some news stations present the news from a right wing leaning viewpoint while others present the news from a more liberal viewpoint. However all news netwotks have a viewpoint or viewing public which they are attempting to a

We stand at the cuspis of a new year. New is the operative word, meaning just beginning or beginning anew and regarded as better than what went before. As we look at this through the lens of our faith, we see God is a God of NEW opportunities and chances through forgiveness. Matthew 18:21-22 states, “[21] Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? [22] Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Unt
