Love in Action


As Christians, we are called to show others love. Jesus told His disciples, "By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves]" (John 13:35).

So many people see love as 'just a feeling,' but it's so much more than that. True love shows itself through action.

And this action doesn't have to be impossible and overwhelming. One of the best ways to show the love of Jesus is through simple, everyday action,

New Beginnings

A NEW BEGINNING  Doesn't a new beginning sound great? When life becomes difficult, you have failed several times, you have messed up a perfect relationship, and you are bored of your job, your house, your friends, and family; a new start sounds exciting when we find ourselves stuck in the mediocrities of life. Do you know what Jesus did on the cross over two thousand years ago enables you to have a new start even now? Though many believers know this truth, they still live beneath this truth every day because somehow the lie of the old life seems to envelop their souls. The fact is the enemy of our souls knows if he can keep us looking back we would make little progress in the future God has for us. We all have a past, and for some, it may be memorable, for others it may be horrible. Whatever the past looks like the enemy majors in causing us to indulge in what was. We serve a God that loves to plan ahead for his children, and scripture tells us that his plans are always good in t

May I Have Your Attention, Please?

May I Have Your Attention, Please? There’s hearing, and then there’s listening. Hearing is the ability to perceive sounds or information. Listening is paying attention to them.  In the book of Jeremiah because the people would not listen it is very sad, but sadly not uncommon. These Old Testament accounts from the Prophet Jeremiah are huge red flags warning us of danger ahead when we don’t give God our full attention with all our heart, mind, and strength. Why? Well, if we aren’t paying attention to God and His ways, we’re headed in the wrong direction—going backward and not forward. Too often, these wrong paths take us to dark and destructive places. The culprit of distraction is usually some innocently attractive lure such as a full schedule, raising kids, a quest for more of something, or even an electronic gadget with a host of fun surprises! To my knowledge, my 5 children all have perfect hearing, but too often their listening can be passive! Sometimes I would say someth

Stranger Danger

Stranger Danger Many in the body of Christ have become increasingly vulnerable to the deceptions of the voice of  the enemy.  Listening to God’s voice becomes a real challenge due to ungodly chatter . Tragically, some people begin to doubt God’s word and the truth He teaches from His Word. The Lord will allow us to see the origin of this problem Ask yourself the question?  Why did Eve ever indulge in listening to the serpent’s deceptive words? Why didn’t she recognize that this was the voice of the stranger?  She seemed so easily swayed by the enemy’s lies. Why was Eve so easily enticed ? I believe that even though Eve knew truth, she wasn’t firmly grounded in truth. She knew what God “said” but never fully grasped Who He was—in Agape love and in sovereignty . She didn’t understand He would never hold back any good thing from her. Psalms 84:11KJV For the LORD God  is  a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good  thing  will he withhold from them that wa
