    Called to Suffer

    In what ways have you been called to suffer in this life? What difference did that suffering make in your life? Did it make you bitter or better? Did it produce in you life or death, or both? Did you run to God or away from God? Did it teach you to love or to hate? Did it humble you or harden...

    What's the Plan?

    Just because Jesus set us free from bondage to sin does not mean we will never be tempted to sin again. We will! Even Jesus was tempted of Satan, yet he never gave in to any temptation. He was without sin. But, not us. So, what do we do when we are tempted? Better yet, what do we do to avoid...

    His Goodness to Us

    The Lord Jesus led me to read John 17 (vv. 1-19 ESV). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, when he walked this earth, was fully God yet fully man.

    Jesus said that we are blessed (honored; commended) when we willingly endure persecution, false accusations, rejection and mistreatment for the sake of his name, and for the sake of the gospel of Jesus Christ. So, we should rejoice and be glad that we share in the fellowship of Christ’s...

    I always think about what will happen with the type of persecution that's going on in the Middle East will come to the US (if it does). Is anyone else worried to preparing themselves?
