September 28th 2025 – We Are Living in the Last Seconds

Leave a reply

“So when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.” (Matthew 24:33)

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” (Matthew 24:36-44)

In the rush of daily life, it can be easy to forget the urgency of our calling as Christians. Yet, as we look around us, we see the signs of the times unfolding in remarkable ways, sometimes daily. The world is experiencing unprecedented change, and many are oblivious to the spiritual implications of these events. There are to many examples to list, so I listed the major ones.

Examples of Prophecies Unfolding:

  1. Increase in Natural Disasters: We have witnessed a rise in earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, and wildfires. These disasters remind us of the fragility of life and the importance of being prepared for Christ’s return. (Reference: Matthew 24:7)
  2. Plagues and Pestilence: The emergence of COVID-19 and its profound impact on global health mirrors biblical prophecies of pestilence. Additionally, recently there have been concerns over the resurgence of diseases reminiscent of the Black Plague, highlighting the ongoing reality of such warnings in Scripture. (Reference: Luke 21:11)
  3. Moral Decline: Values that were once held sacred are being challenged, and society is drifting further away from God’s truths. This moral decay echoes the times of Noah, where righteousness was scarce. (Reference: Genesis 6:5)
  4. Global Conflict and Unrest: Nations are rising against nations, and tensions are high in many regions. This aligns with Jesus’ warnings about strife in the last days, urging us to remain vigilant. (Reference: Matthew 24:6)
  5. Technological Advancements: The rapid growth of technology has made communication instantaneous, allowing the Gospel to reach corners of the world that were previously inaccessible. The invention of microchips, which some speculate could be linked to the “mark of the beast,” reflects the escalating pace of prophecy fulfillment. (Reference: Revelation 13:16-18)
  6. Rebuilding of the Temple: Discussions about the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem have intensified, signaling a significant prophetic milestone in the timeline of the end times. This event is pivotal in biblical prophecy and could usher in profound changes in the spiritual landscape. (Reference: Ezekiel 40-43)
  7. Shortening of Days: The Bible speaks of the days being shortened for the sake of the elect. Many are noticing the rapid passage of time, as life seems to accelerate. This serves as a reminder to remain focused on our mission and to live each day with purpose. (Reference: Matthew 24:22)

In light of these developments, we must recognize our responsibility to share the Gospel with urgency. We are not merely observers; we are called to be messengers of hope and truth.

Encouragement to Share the Gospel:

  • Be Bold in Your Faith: Don’t shy away from conversations about your faith. Share your testimony and how Jesus has transformed your life. Remember, your story can resonate deeply with someone searching for hope.
  • Use Every Opportunity: Whether it’s at work, school, or in your community, look for opportunities to share the message of salvation. A simple conversation can plant the seeds of faith in someone’s heart.
  • Pray for Opportunities: Ask God to open doors for you to share the Gospel. Pray for the boldness to speak up when the moment arises.
  • Engage with Your Community: Get involved in local outreach programs or mission trips. These experiences can strengthen your faith and provide a platform to share God’s love.

As we reflect on the urgency of our time, let us not be like those in the days of Noah, who were caught off guard. Instead, may we be vigilant, faithful, and proactive in delivering God’s message. The clock is ticking, and every moment counts. Let us embrace our role as ambassadors of Christ, sharing the hope of the Gospel until the very last second.

“Let us be watchful and faithful in these last seconds, sharing the light of Christ with urgency, for every moment is a divine opportunity to lead someone to hope.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, recognizing the incredible gift of Your love and grace. In these uncertain times, help us to stay alert and aware of the signs You have given us. Stir in us a deep desire to be Your faithful servants, sharing the light of Christ with those around us.

Lord, give us courage to speak Your truth boldly and compassion to reach out to those who are lost and searching for hope. May we be a source of encouragement and strength to one another in this journey of faith. Help us to embrace every opportunity to share the Gospel, reminding us that time is short and every moment matters.

As we navigate the challenges of this world, let Your peace fill our hearts and guide our actions. We pray for those who have yet to know You, that their hearts may be softened and their eyes opened to Your goodness. We trust in Your perfect timing and sovereignty, knowing that You are always at work.

Thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love and promise of eternal life. May our lives reflect Your glory as we eagerly await Your return. In the precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

September 14th 2025 – What’s Your Temperature?

Leave a reply

“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.” (Revelation 3:15-17)

In a world filled with distractions and competing priorities, many Christians find themselves in a state of lukewarmness—spiritually stagnant and lacking the vibrant faith that Jesus desires for us. It’s a condition that can creep in subtly, lulling us into a false sense of security about our relationship with God.

Checking You Temperature

Lukewarm Christians often attend church, participate in activities, and may even know Scripture, yet their hearts are disconnected from the passion and purpose that come from a true relationship with Christ. They may be comfortable in their routines, thinking that outward appearances are enough. However, Jesus warns us that this state is not only unsatisfactory but also dangerous. It leads to spiritual blindness, where we fail to see our need for His grace and guidance.

Many of us may find ourselves echoing the words of the Laodiceans: “I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.” We may be materially comfortable but spiritually impoverished. This self-sufficiency can hinder our growth and lead us to neglect the deeper aspects of our faith.

The Call to Change
The good news is that we do not have to remain in this state! Jesus invites us to awaken from our lukewarm condition and rekindle our passion for Him. Here are some steps to help us move from lukewarmness to a vibrant, life-giving faith:

  1. Self-Examination: Take time for honest reflection. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas in your life where you may have become complacent. Are you going through the motions, or is your heart truly engaged in your relationship with God?
  2. Repentance: Acknowledge any areas of apathy or disconnection from God. Repentance is not just feeling sorry; it’s a change of heart and direction. Turn away from anything that hinders your walk with Christ and turn back to Him.
  3. Renewed Commitment: Make a conscious decision to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus. This might involve setting aside dedicated time for prayer, studying His Word, and seeking fellowship with other believers who can encourage and challenge you in your faith.
  4. Action: Faith is not just belief; it’s action. Look for opportunities to serve others, share the Gospel, and live out your faith in practical ways. Engaging in acts of service and love can reignite your passion and purpose.
  5. Stay Connected: Surround yourself with fellow believers who are also seeking to grow in their faith. Join a Bible study, prayer group, or volunteer team where you can encourage one another to remain fervent in spirit.

As we reflect on our walk with Christ, let’s commit to stepping out of lukewarmness into a vibrant relationship with Him. The world needs believers who are on fire with the love of Christ, and it starts with us!

“True faith is not just in what we believe, but in how we live out that belief each day; let our actions be the echo of our hearts.”

Prayer:
Gracious Father, we come before You, acknowledging the times we have settled into a lukewarm faith. We ask for Your forgiveness for our complacency and for the ways we have relied on our own strength instead of fully depending on You. Ignite a fire in our hearts, Lord, that we may pursue You with passion and purpose. Help us to recognize our need for You daily and to live out our faith boldly. May we not only be transformed ourselves but also become agents of change in the lives of others. Amen.

September 11th 2025 – Standing Against Injustice and Hatred

1 Reply

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:13-16)

With the unfortunate situation reguarding the politically motivated assassination of Charlie Kirk, on Wednesday September 10th 2025. It’s easy to feel anger and overwhelmed by the injustice and political hatred that surrounds us. As a Christian himself, Charlie was an example of how to stand up share his faith, and defend it biblically and with love and compassion.

When I first heard the news of the shooting, I immediately tuned in and watched the story unfold on YouTube. Without hesitation, I began praying for him and his family. Shortly afterward, I learned that he had not survived.

The first wave of emotions I felt was grief for his family, followed quickly by anger at the state of the world. As I scrolled through different stories and posts, I came across people publicly commenting with joy and no remorse about what had happened. That sight filled me with deep frustration—how could anyone celebrate such evil?

In that moment, I asked myself: Am I, are we, wrong to feel this way when confronted with such hate? Especially as Christians, who are called to live according to the teachings of Jesus, it’s a issue that weighs heavily on the heart.

The question arises: are we meant to sit back and simply tolerate these injustices, or does our faith call us to action? Jesus’ teachings challenge us to be more than bystanders—they call us to be active participants in shaping the world around us. When He declares that we are the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world,” He reminds us of our responsibility to influence, preserve, and guide. Salt preserves what is good and resists decay. Light pierces the darkness and reveals truth. As followers of Christ, we are called to embody these qualities, standing firmly against evil and shining God’s love into the brokenness of our communities.

As we navigate these turbulent times, let us remember that our faith calls us not to passivity but to active engagement, reflecting the heart of Christ in all we do. However have listed scripture from the Holy Bible teaches us how God responds to the evil we are witnessing.

  1. Isaiah 10:1-2 “Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.”
  2. Amos 5:24 “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”
  3. Psalm 82:3-4 “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
  4. Psalm 82:3-4 “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

These verses illustrate God’s concern for justice and His anger towards those who perpetuate inequality and oppression.

“God’s heart beats for justice; He stands fiercely against oppression, igniting a fire within us to uphold the dignity of every soul.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for calling us to be the salt and light in this world. Help us to stand firm against injustice and hatred with love and compassion. Grant us the courage to speak out and offer protection for those who cannot do so for themselves and to act in ways that reflect Your message. May we be guided by Your wisdom as we navigate the challenges that we are facing in the United States. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Charlie Kirk

(Oct 14, 1993–Sept 10, 2025)

Special Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up the family of Charlie Kirk and the community he so passionately served. In this time of sorrow, we ask for Your comforting presence to surround them. May they feel Your love enveloping them, bringing peace in the midst of pain.

Lord, we thank You for Charlie’s dedication and the light he brought into the lives of those around him. His commitment to his beliefs and his community is a testament to the impact one person can have. As his family navigates this difficult journey of loss, grant them strength and solace. May they find comfort in cherished memories and the legacy of love and service he leaves behind.

We also pray for the community that has been touched by his life. Heal the wounds of grief and division, and help them come together in unity and support. May Charlie’s spirit inspire them to continue his work, fostering kindness, understanding, and compassion among one another.

Lord, as they grieve, may they also celebrate the joy of having known him. Let Your healing touch restore their hearts, guiding them toward hope and renewal. Surround them with friends, family, and neighbors who will walk alongside them in this journey.

In Your infinite mercy, we ask for peace and healing for all who mourn. May Your love shine brightly in their lives, reminding them that they are never alone. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Embrace the transformative journey of surrendering your life to Jesus. By inviting Him into your heart, you open yourself to a love that transcends understanding and a life filled with hope and healing.

August 28th 2025 – Helping the Weak

Leave a reply

“To our shame, I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold–I speak foolishly–I am bold also.” (2 Corinthians 10:21)

How do you treat those who are struggling? Whether it’s a coworker facing a heavy burden, a server at a restaurant who seems overwhelmed, or a friend or family member in need of encouragement, your response reveals much about your character. Why is that? Because those who are weak or in distress often cannot offer us anything in return. When we extend kindness to the less fortunate or reach out to those barely hanging on, we do so with the understanding that there is no tangible reward awaiting us. This truth exposes the authenticity of our intentions: if we choose to ignore those in need simply because it serves us better, we must confront the reality of our own motives.

In 2 Corinthians 11, Paul lays bare the trials he faced for the sake of others. His perseverance amidst suffering was not for personal gain, but so that the lost might hear the life-giving message of Christ. This is the essence of true service—sacrificing our comfort for the sake of others. I long for this to be the hallmark of my life, and I believe you share this desire. Today, let’s open our eyes to those around us who may be weak, impoverished, or hurting. Let’s embody the love of Christ in action, serving them selflessly. Yes, it may cost us: our time, our resources, our energy—but in the grand tapestry of God’s kingdom, every act of love is a thread woven into something beautiful.

“True strength is revealed not in our triumphs, but in our willingness to uplift the weak and serve without expectation, for it is in selfless love that we reflect the heart of Christ.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and a spirit yearning for transformation. Forgive me for the times I have helped others with selfish motives, seeking recognition or reward instead of genuine compassion. Grant me a heart that beats in rhythm with Yours, one that aches for those who are suffering, lost, or in need. Help me to see beyond my own circumstances and to understand the struggles of those around me.

Lord, fill me with Your Spirit so that I may serve with joy and humility. Teach me through Your Word and guide my actions so that they reflect Your love and grace. Let me be a vessel of hope and healing in a world that desperately needs both. May I learn to give of myself freely, no matter the cost, trusting that You will provide for my needs as I care for others. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

July 17th 2025 – Apathy

1 Reply

“When they were invaded, you stood aloof, refusing to help them. Foreign invaders carried off their wealth and cast lots to divide up Jerusalem, but you acted like one of Israel’s enemies.” (Obadiah 1:11)

Apathy, detachment, disinterest, disregard… no matter what we call it, these attitudes should never be an option for any follower of Jesus, especially in today’s world where we witness cultural shifts and the arrival of diverse beliefs and values. In the book of Obadiah, God proclaims judgment on Edom for watching their brother Israel suffer without extending a helping hand. They saw their kin in distress and chose indifference. This stark contrast to the love and sacrifice of Jesus serves as a powerful reminder.

“Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.” (Philippians 2:7-8)

Jesus intentionally left His throne and the glory of Heaven to walk alongside those in pain and suffering. He made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could experience forgiveness and grace. In a time when many feel that their faith and values are under pressure, we must remember that our response should not be one of retreat or apathy. Rather, we are called to embody the love of Christ actively and intentionally.

As followers of Christ, we are invited to engage with those around us, including those who come from different backgrounds and beliefs. Instead of viewing them as threats to our culture, let us see them as opportunities for love, understanding, and sharing the transformative message of Jesus. Who knows how a small act of kindness or an encouraging word can bridge divides and foster relationships?

“The greatest danger to your future is apathy.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus and His unwavering love and obedience. Because of His active role in my redemption, I can experience forgiveness and grace. In a world filled with differing values and beliefs, may I be intentional in reaching out to others with love and compassion. Fill me with Your Spirit and equip me to be a light in this complex world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

July 6th 2025 – No More Excuses

1 Reply

“I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh.” (Romans 9:1-3)

The Apostle Paul’s profound love and sacrifice serve as a compelling challenge for us to examine our own commitments to those around us. He was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, prioritizing the eternal well-being of others over his own comfort. Are we prepared to do the same?

As Christians, we often impose conditions on our willingness to serve. We may think, “I will help, but only if it doesn’t disrupt my routine,” or “I’ll share my faith, but only if it feels comfortable.” However, we must ask ourselves: what conditions did Jesus place on His love and sacrifice for us?

Consider a common scenario: a homeless individual approaches you for help. Your instinct might be to hesitate, fearing that giving them money could enable harmful habits. But what if, instead of judgment, you offered kindness, shared a meal, or simply took a moment to pray with them? Remember, Jesus died for that person just as He did for you. Let’s strive to be enablers of grace, extending the choice of faith in Christ to those in need.

Reflect on the relationships in your life—friends, family, or acquaintances who may not yet know Christ. Would you hesitate to save someone from drowning? Of course not. Let’s set aside our excuses and move beyond our comfort zones.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to care deeply and be willing to sacrifice for those who have yet to experience His love and salvation.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the incredible gift of salvation that You have given me. I am grateful for Your unconditional love and grace. Today, I ask that You soften my heart toward others, helping me to see them through Your eyes. Fill me with compassion for those who are lost, hurting, or in need of hope.

Open my eyes to the opportunities around me to share Your love, whether through kind words, actions, or a listening ear. Empower me to be courageous in my faith, willing to step out of my comfort zone to reach those who need You. Help me to recognize that each interaction is a chance to reflect Your light.

In these challenging times, remind me that my purpose is not just to believe, but to act in love and service. May I be an instrument of Your grace, enabling others to choose You. In Jesus’ precious name, I pray, Amen.

April 5th 2025 – Learn His Holy Word

Leave a reply

“Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:11)

In moments of uncertainty, when we grapple with decisions, the importance of Bible study becomes even more pronounced. Engaging with Scripture not only helps us discern right from wrong but also illuminates God’s purpose and direction in our lives. Take, for instance, Pilate. He knew the truth yet chose to turn away from it, a choice that resonates with many of us. We often find ourselves in similar situations, aware of the right path but hesitating to take it. This is where the concept of Bible action—applying what we learn from Scripture—comes into play. The Bible consistently calls us to be doers of the Word, urging us to translate our beliefs into tangible actions rather than merely listening passively.

The church has faced criticism for being a community of believers who, at times, falter in putting those beliefs into practice. Let us strive for a different narrative. May our dedication to Bible study ignite a flame of action within us as we seek to embrace our faith fully and fulfill the calling God has placed on our lives. The Lord who calls us is also faithful to equip us, empowering us to not only understand His Word but to live it out boldly.

“Our beliefs should lead us to action. What we claim to believe should profoundly shape the way we live. Bible study should naturally lead to Bible action.”

Heavenly Father, You created me with the desire to follow You and to embrace Your teachings. I earnestly seek to walk in Your ways and to fulfill the plans You have for my life. Grant me the wisdom to learn Your Word deeply and the courage to live it out authentically. Shield me from straying into wrongdoing, and nurture my faith as I immerse myself in Your teachings. Search my heart, O Lord, and reveal any anxious thoughts within me. Show me any offensive ways I may harbor and guide me in Your everlasting way. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

March 22nd 2025 – Right Where We Are

Leave a reply

“For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.” (Acts 25:11)

What does God see when he looks at you? He sees you clearly right where you are. God knows your potential. He created you. He knows the gifts and talents that He has given you. God knows how He wants to use you to love and serve Him and others. Sometimes God will use things in our lives that we least expect Him to use. In Acts 25, we see God using Paul’s Roman citizenship to give him the opportunity to preach the Gospel before King Agrippa and a huge audience in the amphitheater at Caesarea. Like Paul, God is able to use you to do incredible things right where you are. No gift or talent is too big or too small. No circumstance too dire, God can use it.

Do you want to be used by God? You can start right where you are in your home, workplace and in your church. How are you serving God today? How will you be serving God a month from now or even a year from now? I want to encourage you to start serving God right where you are. God has got an awesome adventure planned for you; a miraculous mission lies waiting for you if you choose to accept your mission. God will use you in ways you never thought possible.

“God wants to work through you right where you are with what you have right now.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Open my eyes so that I can ask the tough questions in my life. Give me understanding on how to live out the Truth I believe. Shower me with Your grace when I stumble, and fill me with Your Spirit so that I can live for You. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for the gifts, talents and circumstances You have given me. I commit to using my gifts to glorify You… starting today. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

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.
