It's never worked. Ever.

Such hard topics to write about lately, but one that's absolutely necessary. It's a tough question: "Why would a good God send people to hell?" The short answer is, He doesn't. But let's jump into the topic and figure out why. I promise, the answers are there.
As always, I don't expect you'll believe everything I say. Look into it for yourselves. So many people have said they don't believe because no one else does. Make your own decisions, okay?

“Why would a loving God send people to punishment in Hell?” That’s a common question when it comes to the secular world trying to understand Christianity, and it can be challenging to answer for believers. Secular folks think God is a God of “love,” which He is. But we need to clear up som...

Witchcraft is coming for your kids. This may seem hard to believe for some, but studies show witchcraft is on the rise in the United States, especially among the younger generations. What’s even scarier is how popular witchcraft has become on social media platforms, especially TikTok.Before we go ...

Why do I believe? Can you prove the existence of God? Those are hard questions for any Christian to answer, but let’s take a run at it anyway. I do not expect you to take my word for it but would prefer you to look into it yourself after you read through this.A big reason I believe in God is it’...

Let’s get this out of the way first. You and I are going to die someday, and there’s no way of knowing when it will happen.I thought most people were at least cognizant of the fact that there will come a day when they’re no longer here. But I learned the lesson that I was wrong in the stranges...

So tired of the never-ending arguments. Christians will never argue anyone into the Kingdom of God, especially on social media these days. And I'm not leaving myself out of that category. Age has shown me several things about my early years that I do not like. Remember when social media was new and interesting? Yeah, me neither.

I spend more time on social media than many people these days, partly because of work, but I also like to know what’s going on in the world and with the people close to me. Social media was such a neat thing when it first began, but as you likely know, it’s gone off the rails. One of the biggest...

Romans 10:9-10 "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved!"

This is one of my favorite verses in the Bible, and the key word is "will" be saved. But what does it mean to believe in your heart?
The HSBC Bible puts it this way: Merely mouthing "Jesus is Lord" and proclaiming He rose from the dead will not save you. Presumably, you or I can meet those requirements and still not be a true follower. "A heartfelt confession of Jesus' Lordship designates a lifelong commitment that issues from the center of a person's being (the heart). What matters is not saying He's Lord but making Him Lord at the core of your existence. This is what Paul really meant by calling on the name of the Lord to be saved.

One way to know if it's sunk in way down deep inside is whether what you believe influences the way you live. Does your faith influence your choices? That's a really good sign...
