Your self-esteem should not be derived from how great you think you are, but from how much God loves you.
There is a lot of talk these days about building your “self-esteem” so you will have the confidence you need to make it in society. But confidence placed in yourself is doomed for failure (because […]

Thank God that your salvation does not depend on you.
In the physical world there are many ways to be saved, but first you have to be in a situation where you would eventually die without help. A guy in a lifeboat could pull you out of the freezing water, or a skilled surgeon could […]

If you want results that are excellent, diligence is required.
The coach of any athletic team will tell you that you’ve got to practice if you want to win. In the spiritual realm, “winning” is getting to know God and having our lives transformed in the process. But just as in sports, “winning” with […]

Don’t worry about proving God’s existence, because no one can disprove it.
Sometimes we think we can prove God exists, but it just can’t be done, at least not in the scientific sense. You can’t stick God under a microscope or view Him through a telescope, because God is Spirit. No one has actually […]

Living a godly life may make you different. You may end up doing just the opposite of everyone else. Sometimes you may find that your conduct pleases God but offends your friends, or vice versa. Should you compromise and try to […]

Unless we know where our world came from, we don’t really know where it’s going. And we don’t know where we’re going, either. That’s why there’s such a huge debate about how the universe began. The answer goes to the heart of […]

The person with an unread Bible has no advantage over the person who doesn’t own one.
You would laugh if someone expressed belief in a “lucky” rabbit’s foot dangling from their key chain. (Okay, maybe you wouldn’t laugh, but we are pretty sure you would snicker.) Why? Because “good luck charms” are foolishness […]

Little is much if God is in it.

A national best selling book suggests that you shouldn’t sweat the small stuff. Many people treat the small stuff in life as if no one–not even God–has any control over what happens. They call it “fate” or talk about how they are “lucky” or “fortunate” when […]

When you see God in the small stuff, your life becomes more meaningful.
We like to compare seeing God in the small stuff to looking at the stars. If you’ve never studied astronomy, you could look at the stars all night long and never know anything about them. The sight would be beautiful, but […]

Jesus came to Earth in the past, and He is coming again in the future. Thank God for the first coming and get ready for the second.
The New Testament begins with the historical record of the first coming of Jesus to Earth, when God became a human and lived on Earth for a while. […]
