“He Is Not Here!”

Each and every Easter season Christians around the world rejoice and give thanks to the Almighty God for the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on the Cross. This was the purpose for which Jesus came into the world. The apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinthian Church stated: “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received; that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3,4). Note, “I delivered to […]

The Eternal God

The God of the Bible, and the Creator of the universe, has always existed. God existed before everything. And He, as God, brought all things into existence. He is past, present, and future. God doesn’t owe His existence to anyone or anything. As proof of His “self-existence,” Moses, said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHOM I AM.” And he said, “Say this […]

Moments with the Word

God will bless and honor the person who takes time to read the Bible (the Holy Scriptures) and learn from it how live in a world that is in utter confusion, disarray, and disorder. Mortal man thinks he has the answers and solutions for every problem he faces. Why is it them do we need courts of law, judges, jurors, and law enforcement. Mortal man cannot govern himself.  Over many years of living, both Christians and non-christians alike, have proven over and over again that the Bible definitely has the answers and solutions for just about everything in life. And […]

Becoming a Christian

What does it mean to become a Christian? First of all, you need to fully realize that God loves you. And His desire is for youth  have a personal relationship with Him through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible declares that without exception, “All have have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Sin is is a universal problem as the scripture points out: “None is righteous, no not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one” (Romans […]

Why Christmas?

What is the meaning of Christmas? Why do Christians celebrate this annual event? Some may ask. And we born-again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have the answer. Christmas is a most joyful occasion for Christians around the world to observe and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The birth of Jesus is an announcement of God’s plan of salvation for humanity. The celebration of Christmas goes back over 2,000 years ago when an angel announced: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke […]

The Christian Church

It must be clearly understood that “the church” is neither a physical building, organization, nor a denomination as some people seem to think and believe. The word church is derived from the Greek word “ekklesia,” which means “an assembly” or “called out ones.” Which further means “called ones from the world” and saved by God’s infinite grace. These called-out ones gather in their local churches to worship God, regardless of denomination affiliation. The Bible teaches that the church is the body of Jesus Christ of which He is the Head. Writing to the church at Ephesus, the apostle Paul states […]

What is a Christian?

What does it mean to be a christian? What does it take to be a christian? Does good works by itself make one a christian? Does church attendance and membership qualify a person to be a christian? Is the giving of tithes and offerings enough to make the giver a christian? The answer to each of these questions is no, not at all. You may ask, how come? The Bible has clear cut answers.  The Bible tells us, “In Antioch the disciples were first called christians” (Acts 11:26). A christian is actually a “follower of Jesus Christ, because that person […]

The Christian Wardrobe

One of the main reasons for trusting Jesus Christ as our Savior is that we should live above this sin-defiled world. When Jesus saved us, He did not immediately take us to heaven. Rather, He allowed us to continue to live in  the “here and now” because christians play a very vital role in the world. In His high priestly intercessory prayer to God, Jesus prayed, “I do not ask that you take them [Christians] out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world just as I am not of […]

Christian Character

How should we as born-again christians live our lives? This age-old question applies to every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? Because we are living in a very humanistic, secularistic, materialistic world where there is a diminishing regard for God and spiritual values. Times have certainly changed compared to years ago when, generally, people had some fear of God and His Word, even though some were not christians.  In his letter to the Roman christians, the Apostle Paul writes, “I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable […]

Christ — The Christian’s Life

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is not just attending Church on Sundays, or becoming a member of the church, or getting to go to heaven, and having some thoughts about religion. It’s much, much more than that. Coming to know Jesus Christ as one’s Savior is only the beginning of the Christian life. One is saved to become a disciple of Christ. This means having a personal relationship with Christ each and everyday. The Bible says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has past away; behold the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17). […]
