Ephesians 5:28-29 (NKJV) So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. Studies have shown an increase in domestic violence during the pandemic, but it has no place…
Exodus 3:16-17 (NKJV) Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt; and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to…
Hebrews 11:1,6 (NKJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen…. But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Do you know that as believers, we are the ones who determine the extent…
Whenever I visit home, I always have same routine. I make the dull drive down Interstate 81, hug my mom, and then head straight to one of my favorite places on Earth. I drive across my small country town and pull into a crowded parking lot illuminated by a bright red sign. I walk in…
When I was a toddler, I used to slip on my dad’s work boots and shuffle around the house pretending to be him. I would try to talk and act like him while stumbling all over the place in boots the size of my entire leg. Most young kids want to be like their parents.…
God knows that all of us are at different levels of faith, and He will meet us where we are at. However, we are expected to grow in our faith in God, so that we can do great exploits for Him when He asks us to step out in faith to trust Him. Faith can…
One Tuesday morning, the alarm screamed on my nightstand. I smashed snooze three times before begrudgingly getting out of bed. I woke up after a solid eight hours of rest just to experience something awful. I was more tired than if I had just skipped sleep altogether. My head was pounding like a hammer. My…
Matthew 14:31 (NKJV) And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” The greatest struggle in the Christian walk and the fight of faith is whether to choose to continue to believe in the Word or succumb to the natural pressure in the form of…
God has taken the initiative to help us know Him by giving us the Bible. How we can experience Him is to have faith in His Word because He and His Word are one. God is faithful and trustworthy, and He watches over His Word to ensure that it is honoured. If we desire to…
“For me, I’m a creative genius. There’s no other way to word it.” This is a real quote from rapper-turned-expensive-shoe-designer Kanye West. Calling yourself a genius is certainly a stretch, but Kanye goes so much further than that. He tweets about sleeping on fur pillows. He has compared himself to Shakespeare. He bragged that his…
Mark 4:35 (NKJV) On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” The above Scripture is from the passage where Jesus was still asleep in the boat when the waves were filling up the boat and they were about to sink. Jesus was calm because…
