Do we have to forgive others to be forgiven?
Does God require us to forgive other to be forgiven? My answer would be yes.. But not in the way you might think. In the book of Matthew Jesus gave his sermon on the mount. He gave us the Lords prayer, and in it we read. Matthew 6:10-12 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done …
How to cast out fear and be at peace.
I am writing this on the first day of 2022. And it seems like the world is a stressful and scary place. Jesus knew the times we would be living in when the words of the Bible were written, and he is intimately aware of them now. Matthew 10:30 But the very hairs of your …
How to properly fear God.
Most Christians are good at fearing God. We see him as a stern Father, who is pleased with us when we are good, and is ready to serve up quick and severe punishment when we sin, or are out of line. This is perhaps one of the biggest stumbling blocks that prevent us from receiving …
The power of I Am.
One of God’s name is I Am. The most powerful name, or word for that matter, in any language is Jesus. Philippians 2:9-10 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, …

Even people of faith have come to the conclusion that, the days of miracles ended, with the original apostles. Acts 10:34 “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth …
How to increase, or strengthen our faith.
God wants us to trust him, and his promises. Hebrews 11:6 “ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” We cannot please God without faith. Faith in Jesus is the bedrock …
How to know if you are saved.
How can a person know for sure if they have been saved? Is there a complicated formula, or set of rules to observe, or adhere to, for a person to know with certainty they have been saved? I see this question come up quite often, and there seems to be a good deal of confusion …
Similarities between Paul’s shipwreck, and our Salvation.
I noticed several similarities between Paul’s shipwreck recorded in Acts chapter 27, and salvation that comes through our Lord Jesus, and faith in him. Paul in this story, is being taken by soldiers with other prisoners, to be judged before Caesar. All men and women, small and great, will be brought before God, to be …
