When someone has even the tiniest bit of faith, they thereby have the foundation on which a relationship with Jesus can be built. As the relationship grows, so does the trust in God through Jesus Christ, and with it, peace, contentment and joy. Fear and anxiety begin to slip away. This is a fundamental truth that is widely ignored in today’s society. Naysayers and the secular crowd love to bash...
Around 75% of Americans feel that our country is going down the wrong path, although there is disagreement as to why that is so. Divisions politically haven’t been this deep in generations. Violence and lawlessness seem to be growing and out of control, and empathy and respect for life are in short supply. Many people wonder where is God in all of this. Why does He allow this? Others boldly...
The recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas has once again plunged the country into deep mourning and sadness, stoking the flames of anger in this all-too-well-known scenario. Yet each time such a tragic event occurs, frustration and division heighten, and no real solutions are implemented.

This has been widely seen as the most significant case to challenge Roe vs. Wade in decades. Pray today for God’s hand in touching the hearts of the Supreme Court justices, and for God to provide the wisdom to the pro-life lawyers making their case. Even if Roe vs. Wade...
Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Luke 21:34-35 No matter who we are, we cannot stop the hands of time – there will come a day when our health and strength fails us, and...
You are Anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Luke 10:41-42 One of the great things about being Christian is the promise of peace and security that comes with following Jesus Christ. This peace is something that we as Christians seek to attain as our relationship with God grows and becomes more mature. Anxiety and fear are at epidemic levels these days, for Christians...
Jesus said to them, “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.” Luke 10:13 Think of the mighty deeds that God has done for America! In the relatively short time that the United States has been in existence, it has vaulted in power...
