If you’re at a corner - you wait for the light to turn red so you can cross the street. Light turns red; all traffic stops and waits for you to cross. But, if you don't take that first step to walk - you'll be stuck there till the next red light. And that vicious cycle will continue ………. until you take that first step! So, the next time your at that red light – STOP at that light that God has

Cleopas and his friend were deeply saddened by the events that have just occurred in Jerusalem. As they commenced their walk back home to Emmaus, approximately seven miles away, they could not help but discuss what had just happened. Suddenly, a stranger appeared and joined into their conversation, questioning what they were speaking of. Surprised that the stranger did not know, they begin to

Humans were disgraced with Adam and Eve and regained its sanctified grace through Jesus Christ. As a result, “grace can not be accepted or rejected” (Himes Track7). It is something one has intertwined in their soul; sanctifying grace is the type of grace that God assimilated into our souls. . We are all blessed with His grace and Himes describes grace as: When God chooses to give God self

The word Gospel translates to mean “good news”. The essence of the good news of Yeshua is simply love. But not just a philios (brotherly) love but a deeper agape (unconditional love) as a parent would implement with their child. Yeshua clearly stated: You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37)I believe that love is key, an

Many of us try to be more disciplined for Lent and give up something that we really like. That’s great! Fasting has always been an important tradition of Lent. This year however, let us also consider other things that we can give up.Give up complaining - Focus on gratitudePhilippians 2:14&15 – Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure…1

Below is one of my homework assignments for school. It talks about the early Church and it's turmoil. Thought I'd share...In 337 Emperor Constantine died. Constantine’s sons, whose views were different, “ultimately divided the empire” (p 37). Constantine became an extremist against the pagans. He enforced the death penalty for any non-Christian works and often forcefully destroyed. In

Hi there. I know, I know... As most of you know, I have started working again. Wow, talk about a challenge I didn't think was possible a year and some ago. =) However, I have been blessed once again with another great company, great co-workers and and awesome boss. The company is close to the house (not having to travel too much).I can't believe that it is the first day of February already.

I wanted to share with you, a detail of this Sunday's Readings. It is the first Sunday of Advent. Advent derives from the Latin word, advenio, meaning "to come". It usually a period of meditation and preparation for the "coming" or birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.God overthrows the thrones of those who are disobedient to His law.

There are different types of temptations the most common one is lying. But don't let them get to you. Because if they get to you it will burn inside and you will turn to the wrong side. If you read 1 Corinthians 10:13 God will strengthen you so you won't go to the bad side of life and he will help you make the right decisions. Love lots, Alysa Vazquez :)

‘Those who find me find life, and the Lord will be pleased with them.’ -Proverbs 8:35 It is such an assertive statement. Such conviction in all it’s glory. Simply stated… If we seek Him (as we are all called to do) we will find life. As we know there is no life without Him. We are not to seek out life first. If we do we will be bounded by earthly issues and materials. However, if we

It is important to continually keep yourself evolving in The Lord. And so it is important to continually "check yourself". I have learned that it is not important to know where you are going exactly but rather that you are definitely headed somewhere with Jesus at your side. As desperate as the general public is to seek a definite answer to what will happen next....how adventurous would life be

(Forwarded by Ivonne)Who am I? This is a question we should ask ourselves from time to time. I am not the same person I was a year ago. I am not the same person I was before I dedicated my life to God. With each day of life, our circumstances and life experiences help us to answer that question. Many times we answer this question by what we did in our past or for some of us what we are still

If you would ask me to pick a favorite song, I can’t because I like a lot of songs from different genres. For instance, I like Pop, Country-Pop, Hip Hop, Classical, Classic Rock, Smooth Jazz, Motown and Christian music. My mother used to

Relationships are a science: some elements work great together, others not so much? The dynamics of a destructive relationship isn't the subject at hand here.

The essence of being a Christian is, in my opinion, a thorough dedication to God. As Jesus said in (John 8:29) “The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him." In Mark 2:18-22 Jesus reminds us that if we pour new wine into old wineskins, the skins burst and we lose everything. Think of the new spiritual growth that we’ve experienced

It seems that people are content with having one foot in the church and the other foot in soot. (Besides, you may hurt yourself in such a position). As if people were in a huge masquerade (Casting Crowns). Take a minute to reflect and ask yourself? Are we living to be the utmost Christian that we are all called to be? Are we speaking in tongues that speak the truth? Are we leading by
