Grounded in Faith, Rooted in Truth, Guided by God’s Word

Do you notice how relativistic our society has become today? Society says that all religions lead to God. Actually, they lead to gods. They say it does not matter that we believe; it does not also matter that we believe different things. Know what? Jesus came to earth to tell mankind that what we believe … Read more
The issue I have seen in the lives of many believers is that they don’t live like they have real joy in their hearts. They have Christ in their lives but they do not seem to be experiencing real joy that is found in Christ alone. Bible Verse: John 16:22 (NKJV) “Therefore you now have … Read more
Watching the movie “Indivisible” made me realize even more how life is like war. The harsh realities of war can really take a toll on the mind, on family, and on friends. War is difficult and there is nothing easy about it. Bible Verse: 1 Timothy 1:18-19a (NKJV) “This charge I commit to you, son … Read more
The Bible tells us that God is the Rock and He is the only rock on which we must build our lives (1 Samuel 2:2). Did you know that the title “Rock” is a Messianic and a divine title? In Psalm 18:2, David called God “my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my strength in … Read more
Recently I heard the phrase, “Like faith and practice.” The context was one church would not associate with another church because they did not practice their faith in the same way. I can guarantee you that is the complete opposite of brotherly love. That borders on hate for your fellow brothers and sisters. Not to … Read more

Why do we base our value on what others’ opinions are? Bible Verse: John 1:11-12 (NKJV) “He came to His own, and His own did not … Read more
We all know that when we play with fire we can get burned; we might even die as a result. But why is it that there are Christians who play with fire? Bible Verse: James 1:15 (NKJV) “Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth … Read more
Over the last few years, I have come to realize the phrase “just friends” is a lie. In the modern vernacular it actually means “just acquaintances.” Most of the time for me, after getting put in the “friend” zone, I never hear from or talk to them again. That is not a friend. That borders … Read more
All relationships take work. The only way relationships can work is if two people have unconditional love for each other. I have learned several lessons from the life of a brokenhearted man like Samson, the last several weeks during and after my broken relationship. Bible Verse: 1 John 4:18-19 (NKJV) “There is no fear in … Read more
God has promised His people a new heaven and a new earth. The old creation must make way for the new creation, if God is to be glorified. Jesus said this event will occur when “the world is made new” (Isaiah 65:17). By then, God’s eternal purpose in Jesus would have been accomplished and so … Read more
