Bible Promises & Prophecy

I was awakened at a very young age to what sounded like fighting in my parent’s bedroom, and what I saw was something no child should ever see, and that was the abuse of my mother and the raging temper of my father. We moved a lot, and in my child’s mind, I didn’t understand why we moved more than other pastors’ families.

The word “love” is the most explicitly used, extremely misused and abused word, and at the same time, the least demonstrated action word. Numerous writers have attempted to define love, and many continue to amend and amplify the significance of this most desirable concept. It is unfulfilling to...

Jesus invites you to come to Him at the altar each day, as you are. When you are sick and wonder why He does not intervene, when you are exhausted and don’t feel like caring about anything or anybody, when you have...

People can mock me as a Christian, urging me to forsake this apparently unseen God and seek solace and answers from the gods of this world—such as alcohol or other addictive substances to drown my sorrows. There was a time when I did try these physical gods due to...

We need to remind ourselves more often than we do, that there are more vibrant colors to behold than we have yet beheld—and more exciting and satisfying experiences than we have yet encountered, and sounds and fragrances to fill up our senses beyond imagining. We cannot imagine the beauty of...

At Jesus’ birth there were few people awaiting His first coming. The shepherds were some of those people. Priests, rulers, and kings were just living for themselves, they were...

My symptoms were mild, just a runny nose and coughing. But a few times I coughed so hard that I thought I would bring up a lung. In September 2022, I felt a hard lump in my stomach while showering. That was very concerning to me, so I made an appointment to see my family doctor. He took one look at my stomach, felt around a bit, and declared that it was a...

I always wondered how certain food combinations are created, liked, and enjoyed universally like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, pita bread and hummus, tortillas and salsa, soup and crackers, salad and dressing, rice and lentils, and crepe and tomato chutney. Whoever created these combinations really did a great job in figuring out the food pair/combo and they taste delicious together. Likewise, our Creator is a...
