If you want to know what’s in your heart, listen to your mouth.
No one wants to admit being hypocritical, but most of us suffer from that malady from time to time. We often put on a facade of being spiritual, but it is just a show. If we do this too long and […]

The peace of God is the greatest feeling in the world.
The peace of God is a gift. Jesus said so Himself (John 14:27). The peace of God is a gift because there’s no way we can generate it on our own. The world can’t give us this kind of peace, either. […]

Question: I’ve got a friend who is a pretty strong atheist. I started witnessing to him a few months ago and I finally got him to go to church and at least think about God, but I’m not sure if it’s helping at all. He seems to think it’s all a big joke. […]

You will experience peace when you invite God into the details of your life.

The opposite of peace is war, and that’s exactly what happens in our lives when God’s peace is missing. It isn’t an external war, but a war within us, caused by a combination of sin, fear, doubt and anxiety. We […]

Marriage is in God’s plan for some, and […]

There is no such thing as an unsuccessful prayer.

Do you feel like your prayers are ineffective? Does it seem like they hit the ceiling and don’t reach heaven? Is praying an exercise in futility for you?
Don’t evaluate the effectiveness of your prayers solely on the basis of whether God gives you what you […]

Question: I have been helping an elderly lady that has very little - no money, no family, no friends. I have really enjoyed helping her. My problem is that it seems that no matter what I do it doesn’t seem to be good enough for her. If we get her furniture […]

It’s one thing to know what’s right, and another thing entirely to do it.

Following God requires thinking and doing. You have to know what is right (this involves your thinking) and you must put that knowledge into action (this involves doing). You can’t be a devoted follower of God is you have one […]
