August 6th 2025 – Will We See Our Loved Ones in Heaven?

Leave a reply

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)

The question of whether we will see our loved ones in heaven is one that stirs deep emotions within us. It is natural to long for the comfort of knowing that those we cherish will be with us in eternity. The promise of heaven offers us hope, and it is this hope that fuels our mission to share our faith with others.

Why we must have a conversation about Jesus with our loved ones.

As believers, we are called to share the message of Jesus with our unsaved loved ones. This calling is rooted in love, hope, and the understanding of eternal consequences. We need to remember that every interaction we have can plant a seed of faith. Our relationships with our family and friends are often the most impactful, as they see our daily lives and witness our faith in action.

Yet, what happens when our loved ones are not receptive to the Gospel? It can be disheartening, but even in those moments, we must continue to shine as a “lamp on a hill” (Matthew 5:14). Our lives serve as beacons of light in this dark world, and our unwavering faith can be a powerful testimony. People watch us, sometimes more closely than we realize.

Being diligent in our faith means living out the values of Christ in our daily actions. It encompasses kindness, patience, forgiveness, and love, even when faced with rejection or indifference. This authenticity and consistency can eventually break down barriers and open hearts to the message of salvation.

Take a moment to reflect on the loved ones in your life who may not yet know Jesus. Are there ways you can be a light to them? How can you demonstrate your faith in practical, loving ways? Remember that your actions may speak louder than words, and your steadfastness in faith can leave a lasting impression.

“Be diligent in sharing Jesus, for the end days are upon us; His return will come like a thief in the night, and every soul matters in the light of eternity.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise of eternal life with You and the hope of reuniting with our loved ones in heaven. Help us to be persistent in sharing Your love and truth with those who do not yet know You. Give us patience and understanding as we navigate our relationships, especially when faced with rejection. May our lives be a reflection of Your light, drawing others closer to You. Let us shine brightly in the darkness, and help us to remain diligent in our faith. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

April 9th 2025 – Destination Heaven

Leave a reply

“My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” (John 14:2-3)

As believers, our ultimate destination is Heaven—a place of eternal joy, peace, and communion with God. In this earthly life, we often face trials and tribulations that can weigh heavily on our hearts. However, Jesus reassures us that He is preparing a place for us in His Father’s house. This promise brings hope and comfort, reminding us that our struggles are temporary and that a glorious eternity awaits us.

Heaven is not just a distant dream; it’s a reality crafted by our Savior, a home where we will dwell in His presence forever. Consider the beauty and peace of this place, free from pain and sorrow. Let this vision of Heaven encourage you to persevere through life’s challenges, knowing that each step you take brings you closer to your eternal home.

Spend a few moments in silence, imagining what your eternal home in Heaven will be like. Reflect on the joy of being in the presence of God and the loved ones who have gone before you. Let this vision inspire you to live each day with purpose and hope.

This week, share the promise of Heaven with someone who may be struggling. Encourage them to find hope in the eternal perspective that God has promised to those who believe in Him.

“Let us not take our time on earth for granted. Life is short, and the call to salvation is urgent. May we strive to be prepared, embracing each day as an opportunity to grow in faith and draw others to Christ.“

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise of Heaven and the assurance that You are preparing a place for me. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on You and to live in a way that honors You as I journey through this life. May I be a light to others, sharing the hope of Heaven with those around me. Strengthen my faith and fill my heart with peace, knowing that I am destined for a beautiful eternity with You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

January 3rd 2025 – Focus On The Things Above

Leave a reply

“The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” (John 11:44)

Symbolically, Lazarus is like many Christians. The Bible speaks of us passing from death unto new life when we are born again. However, it is also true that in the physical and emotional realm, we bring our “grave clothes” from our old life with us (i.e., habits, attitudes, depression, etc.), and we need to be “loosed” to fully enjoy our life as Christians.

Our emotions and attitudes follow what we think. When we focus our attention on our problems, they are magnified out of proportion. When we neglect our problems and think on God’s provision, the answer is magnified, and the problem shrinks. Whatever we think upon will dominate us. If we think on depressing things, we’ll be depressed. If we think on uplifting things, we’ll be uplifted. If we think, “By His stripes, we are healed,” we’ll be healed. If we think on sickness, we’ll be sick.

Godly contentment isn’t dependent upon circumstances. That is totally the opposite of the way most people think today. No one really desires depression, but very few feel any responsibility or authority to maintain positive emotions in the face of negative circumstances. They think emotions follow circumstances. That’s not true. Emotions follow the way we think, and we can choose to think on things that are lovely, true, of good report, and so forth, regardless of our circumstances. As we think, so we respond emotionally.

Focus your attention on the invisible truths of the spiritual realm that are eternal, instead of the visible things of this physical world that will pass away.

“We all have a measure of faith. What we choose to put our faith in will ultimately guide our decision-making, our perspective, and the course of action for our lives.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the love You have shown me through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Help me to hold firm to this Truth so that my faith will continue to grow. Fill me with Your Spirit daily so that I will stop hearing the lies from the enemy. Protect me and help teach me that I can have real hope. Encourage me to focus on Your written word when You feel distant in my life. Also, help me share with anyone who needs to hear the Gospel message. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Put your faith and trust in Jesus! If you do not know Him personally, please read below.

Jesus Christ says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20).

The Bible promises eternal life to all who receive Christ: “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:11-13).

December 20th 2024 – Heed The Warning

Leave a reply

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” (Matthew 24:42-44)

In our daily lives, we often find ourselves captivated by the warnings of the world. The weatherman’s alert about an impending storm sends us scurrying to stock up on supplies, secure our homes, and prepare for the worst. The urgency of his message is tangible; the threat is real. We understand the importance of being ready when nature’s fury approaches.

Yet, when the preacher stands before us, proclaiming that Jesus is coming again, the reaction is often starkly different. The urgency fades, and apathy may seep in. We may nod in agreement or listen politely, but how often do we truly prepare our hearts and lives for His return? The contrast is striking: one warning evokes immediate action, while the other is met with indifference.

In the Gospels, Jesus continually reminds us of His return. He urges us to be vigilant, to keep our lamps filled with oil (Matthew 25:1-13), and to live in a state of readiness. The call to prepare for His coming is not just a suggestion; it is a command. If we believe in the truth of His Word, we must recognize the gravity of His return.

As we reflect on this thought, let us ask ourselves: Are we as diligent in preparing our souls for Christ’s return as we are for a storm? Are we nurturing our faith, engaging in prayer, and actively seeking to live out His teachings? The time to prepare is now, not when the clouds gather or when the trumpet sounds.

“As we embrace the truth of His coming, let us strive to live lives that reflect our anticipation and readiness. May we always be found faithful, awaiting our Savior with joy and hope.“

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, forgive us for the times we have taken Your return lightly. Help us to be vigilant and ready, living each day with purpose and faith. May we not only heed the warnings of this world but also embrace the truth of Your Word. Fill our hearts with urgency and passion for Your coming, that we may live in a way that honors You. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please consider the eternal consequences. Time is running out!

Salvation Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose again to give me new life. I turn from my sins and invite You, Jesus, into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for Your mercy and love. Help me to follow You all the days of my life. Amen.

If you accepted Jesus or have any questions or concerns you would like help with, please let us know. We’re here to help you understand the love that Jesus is offering you for free, no matter who or where you are.

November 20th 2024 – Coming Home to You

Leave a reply

Please watch this first

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6)

The song “I’m Coming Home to You” beautifully encapsulates the journey each of us takes as we navigate through the complexities of life. In the first verse, we find ourselves wandering in the silence of the night, chasing after fleeting desires and earthly pursuits. This imagery resonates with our human experience—times when we feel lost or distant from God. Yet, the comforting reminder is that His love shines like an unwavering light, guiding us back home.

As we move into the chorus, we declare our intention to return home to God. This act of coming home signifies more than just physical location; it represents a spiritual return to the heart of our Creator. We acknowledge that true peace and release are found only in His embrace. It’s a recognition that, in the warmth of His love, our restless souls can finally find rest.

The second verse reminds us that even in our darkest valleys of doubt and fear, we are never truly alone. God’s gentle whisper calls to us, inviting us to lay down our burdens and seek solace in Him. It’s in these moments of surrender that we discover the depth of His grace, leading us back to our rightful place in His presence.

In the third verse, with the dawn of a new day, we are reminded of God’s unending grace and the fresh start it offers. How beautiful it is to envision Him welcoming us back with open arms, filling the voids that life may have created in our hearts. This image of restoration is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness.

Finally, final verses evokes a sense of commitment and belonging. No longer do we need to run or hide from our struggles; in His love, we find our true identity. His mercy flows abundantly, and in His presence, we discover our true home.

“The journey of life often leads us to feelings of being lost or distant from God, but His unwavering love guides us back home. Return to God for the source of true peace and rest, even in times of doubt and fear. Remember that in God’s embrace, we can find our true identity and restoration.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my safe haven and guiding light. Help me to recognize when I’ve wandered away and give me the courage to return to You. May I find peace in Your arms and grace in Your presence. Let me always remember that I am coming home to You, where my heart finds rest and my soul is renewed. In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.

Spend a few moments in silence, reflecting on your journey to God. Are there areas where you feel distant? Invite Him to draw you closer, knowing that He is always waiting with open arms.

If you do not know Jesus personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

March 2nd 2020 – Destination Heaven

Leave a reply

Don’t let this throw you. You trust God, don’t you? Trust me. There is plenty of room for you in my Father’s home. If that weren’t so, would I have told you that I’m on my way to get a room ready for you? And if I’m on my way to get your room ready, I’ll come back and get you so you can live where I live.” (John 14:1-3)

Heaven is an actual place.

It isn’t an “idea” or a “state of mind”; it’s a location, like Phoenx or New York City or Paris. We often think of Heaven in sort of a mystical way, and our minds gravitate toward the versions we have seen in childrens books or TV, where people in white robes floating around on clouds with a halos over their heads, strumming a harp.

How mundane! That is certainly not the Heaven of the Bible. The Bible uses a number of words to describe Heaven. One word it uses is paradise. In the Gospels, we’re told that Jesus was crucified between two thieves. When one of those thieves, in the final moments of his life, put His faith in Jesus, he said, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom” And Jesus replied, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:42-43)

Heaven is also compared to a city. In (Hebrews 11:10) we’re told that this city’s architect and builder is God Himself. And then (Hebrews 13:14) says, “For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.”

Now, we know that cities have buildings, culture, art, music, parks, goods and services, and events. Will Heaven have all of these things? We don’t know. But we can certainly conclude that Heaven will in no sense be less than what we experience here on earth with the exception of all things harmful or evil.

Heaven is also described as a country. (Hebrews 11:16) says, “They desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God.”

Heaven is a paradise, a city, a country . . . and so much more that we can’t begin to wrap our limited minds around it. But one thing I do know: Jesus is expecting me, and He’s prepared a place for me. What more could I ask for?

“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth and remember we can only get to Heaven by Jesus.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I believe You died for me so that I could be forgiven. I believe You were raised from the dead so that I could have new life. I know I have done wrong things, and I’m sorry. Please forgive me and give me the power to follow You all the days of my life.  I also thank You for the hope You have freely given to me through Your Son Jesus. Lord, help my doubt when I cannot see. As I eagerly wait in expectation of Your coming, strengthen me to persevere in the calling You have laid before me. I know that all things work together for good to those who love You. Lord, I commit my life to Your purposes today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

February 12th 2020 – Who Do You Belong To?

Leave a reply

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:” (2 Corinthians 1:1)

“Who are you?” I’m not asking what your name is but rather who you are as a person. When faced with that question, usually our first response is something like, “I’m a teacher” or “I work as an engineer” but those answers are not who you are but what you do. To really see who you are you need to look past yourself and understand who you belong to.

Many people may not realize it, but we all are in one of two camps. We are either children of God or children of the devil. Now many may find that hard to believe, but Jesus made it clear in John 8:44 when he was speaking to the Pharisees. He said, “For you are the children of your father the devil and you love to do the evil things he does.” In very clear terms, Jesus declares those who do evil to be of the devil. Well if that’s the case, how can any of us become children of God when we have all done evil? The answer is found in one name – Jesus. When Jesus died on the cross, He took our sins with Him. They were buried never to be remembered. Now, when we ask Jesus to forgive us and believe in His death and resurrection, we are adopted into His family to become children of God.

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” (John 1:12)

So now that you understand the question, let me ask again… “Who are you and who do you belong to?”

“Our primary identity is not in what we do but in who we are or ‘whose’ we are.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I know that I have sinned and done evil in Your sight. Today, I come to You and pray that You would forgive me of my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose again and trust in His sacrifice for the forgiveness of my sins. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I can live for You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

February 3rd 2020 – The Incredible Plan!

Leave a reply

But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.” (Mark 16:6)

The fact is, Jesus could have escaped the crucifixion at anytime. As He was beaten, He could have stopped it. When the nails were piercing His sinless hands, He could have defended Himself, but He didn’t. In that moment, Christ chose you and I over His own well being. He knew He needed to make a payment for our sins, and so He remained on the cross. So call it what you will… an act of love, a plan of salvation or a martyr’s sacrifice. But whatever you choose to call it, don’t call it an accident. It was a lot of things, but it was anything but that. The cross was no accident, tragedy or conspiracy. It was a plan. And in a world of injustice, God once and for all tipped the scales in the favor of hope.

You see, God neither accepts our sin nor lowers the standard. Instead of ignoring our sin, He took it on Himself and sentenced Himself. God’s righteousness is still maintained, our sin is punished and we are redeemed. What an incredible plan. God paid a debt He did not owe because we owed a debt that we could not pay. God did what we could not do so we can be what we could not dare dream–to stand perfect and forgiven before God. The victory is already won, our past can be pardoned and our future can be secure. Death is disarmed. Failures are forgivable. Life can have real purpose. Did He die on the cross for your sins? You have to make that decision. He is the Savior of the world. The question is… is He your Savior?

“The only way you’re going to reach places you’ve never gone is if you trust God’s direction to do things you’ve never done.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I believe You died for me so that I could be forgiven. I believe You were raised from the dead so that I could have new life. I know I have done wrong things, and I’m sorry. Today I lay is all at the foot of the cross. Please forgive me and give me the power to follow You all the days of my life. Amen.

December 24th 2019 – Glory To God In The Highest

Leave a reply

“Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (Luke 2:8-14)

Can you imagine being there on that day?  Here these shepherds were minding their own business, when all of a sudden these beautiful angels appeared to them and spoke these words to them, and to us: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (Luke 2:8-14)

God’s heart for us is peace and goodwill.  God desires our hearts to be full of goodwill, and full of peace.  God is not into bringing torment to us.  He gave us a Savior, Jesus Christ!  God, the Father, loves us so much that while we were still lost and in our sins, Jesus came and set us free!  Jesus did not come to hurt us or knock us down.  He came to lift us up, and to empower us to do great things!  Jesus said that He came to seek and to save those that were lost.

As we wrap up the year and get ready for 2020,  make a decision not to get caught up with all the stuff of this world. Get caught up in in Jesus, let His love and goodness get all over you.  See how much He loves you, by hearing these words that the angels spoke to the shepherds on that day so many years ago: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”  Enjoy Him, because He wants to enjoy you!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, This Christmas, help me not get caught up in the stuff and caos of society, help me get caught up with You Lord “My Father”.  I am going to enjoy You, and thank You for all You have done for me.  You gift of love and salvation is the greatest gift I could ever receive. Thank you for my friends and family.Continue to me with Your Spirit and use my life to share God’s peace with the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

October 13th 2019 -God Will Always Meet Our Needs

Leave a reply

“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)

God promises to meet the needs of every one of His followers, but sometimes, it might seem like those needs are not being met. If this is the case, then we must evaluate ourselves, because without realizing it, we may be hindering the answer to our prayers. What might be the cause of our unmet needs?

An important thing to understand is that not everything you want is a need. When you need something, you have to have it. It’s essential to life, and you can’t live without it. When you want something, you wish for it, but you can live without it. If your needs don’t seem like they are being met, evaluate whether your request is a really a need or actually a want. Ask God to help you distinguish between what you desire and what is really essential to your life.

“Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!” (Matthew 6:8)

God allows you to come before him and make any and all requests. Have you brought your request before the Lord? If not, you cannot expect to receive those things from Him. Also, be sure your motives are pure, because the Father does not reward selfishness.

“And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.” (James 4:3)

God has given each person certain abilities and talents to use. He has equipped you with the ability to do certain things that will help meet your needs. He will not do for you what you can already do for yourself. For example, you should work and provide for your family. God has made it so that you can, so don’t expect him to do it for you.

Sometimes we want things done in our own timing or in our own way and are not willing to wait on God. Don’t rush or try to force the Lord. Don’t tell Him how to meet your need. It will be done in His way and in His timing, not yours, but it will be done. Be patient, sometimes God will provide through others or in ways you don’t expect.

If you are a follower of Jesus, you have a Heavenly Father who is committed to meeting your needs. Jesus promised that if you believe that you will receive what you prayed for then it would be granted you. If God has confirmed He’ll meet your needs, then you can be confident that He will do it. If it doesn’t seem like God is working on your behalf, then pray.

“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7)

Ask God to show you where you are going wrong and to give you patience to wait on His timing, then trust God! He will meet your needs!

“It may be at the last minute or provided in a way that we have not considered, but He will always provide for our needs.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I love and praise you for this day, for my family, my dear friends and all of the blessings that you have poured into my life. You have always provided for me especially in the difficult times. You have always been faithful to me even when I have not to you. Today I ask that your presence will overwhelm us and refill us with Your Holy Spirit into every corner of our soul. I love You. In Jesus’ name Amen.
