5 Ways Believers Receive Spiritual Rest
God rested from the creation of all things on the seventh day, giving us the example of intentional rest. In the ten commandments given to Moses it was written, Remember the Sabbath (seventh) day to keep it holy (set apart, dedicated to God). 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath [a day […]
The Dangers of Sin and 4 Things That Lead to Separation From God

Why Read The Bible? Power and Purpose Of God’s Word.
Why Read The Bible? Many people tell you when you get saved how important it is to read the Bible every day, but most don’t say more than that. This leaves new and old believers alike unaware of the importance of daily Bible reading. Most people who do not read their Bible are simply ignorant of its power and purpose. […]

Prayer is a critical part of our relationship with God. Understanding the different ways in which God may respond to our prayer requests is essential.

Now that I have been a Christian for a few years, some of which were the hardest of my life; I have experienced things I never expected. That’s the thing about God, he is really great at doing the unexpected. Likewise, as I’ve continued to grow spiritually, I’ve realized there are many misconceptions or outright lies in the Christian world. […]
God, The Angry Man In The Sky: The wrong view of God
Lies We Believe Before giving my life to the Lord, I would have to admit to my own inaccurate view of God. I too, like so many others, regarded God as “The angry man in the sky”. Overtime my own corruptible thoughts coupled with the world’s perception of God had constructed the view I had of Him. Between all the […]
Dangers Of The Occult
Recognizing The Dangers of The Occult When you hear the term occult, what comes to mind? My initial thoughts when I hear the word occult are a group of people standing in a circle, draped with black cloaks, chanting some ritualistic mantra, surrounded by candles somewhere in an underground cave dwelling. Though there are absolutely groups that do those things, […]
Tips For Reading And Understanding The Bible Better
All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16. Understanding The Bible Better There are so many Christians walking around with little to no understanding of Gods word, why is that? How can people be expected to follow the instruction of the Bible if they […]
Jesus, The Good Shepherd

God Is Speaking Are You Listening? The COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19, a global pandemic The entire world is being affected by COVID-19 and it is being referred to as a global pandemic. It didn’t take long for us to see the devastating effects of this novelle coronavirus.

Judging Righteously: Are Christians Supposed To Judge?
This is without a doubt the most common misconception and for myself one of the more frustrating examples of scripture being taken out of context. If you don’t already know, you cannot pluck out any verse you want from the Bible and apply it to whatever it is you are talking about. You must understand the context in which the verse you are reading is being used. Because so many people take verses out of context and blindly apply it to everything, there is an abundance of inaccurate teachings going around. The misconception I am focusing on today derives from Matthew 7:1, “Judge not, that ye be not judged”.
Godly Love vs Worldly Love
This is perhaps the most common topic and characteristic of God that people like to alter. Whether by misinterpretation of scripture or willingly deciding to justify sin in relation to God’s love, both are disastrous. There seems to be a popular mix up between God’s love and acceptance. When exposing a person’s sin, the most frequently spoken reputable said is how God is love and because he is love, he accepts everyone just the way they are. Certainly not!
Paranormal Investigating: Are You Bringing Home Demonic Spirits?
Let’s get one thing straight, the name of Jesus is not some magic word anyone can pull out and expect divine protection while continually sinning against God. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that a non-believer can’t call out the name of Jesus and experience his power. I absolutely believe that can and will happen. The defining factor is whether the person calling out the name of Jesus is doing it from a sincere heart or using it as some magical incantation.
Book of Genesis: Fallen Angels and Nephilim Giants
One common topic that seems to be deliberately left out of Sunday sermons and Wednesday Night Bible studies is the subject of the spiritual realm. Could it be that preachers just don’t believe it, or do they avoid it because they themselves do not understand it? The Bible is full of examples of the spiritual aspect of life, with mention of things like angels, demons, strongholds, healing, and deliverance. How is it that these extraordinary details are being skimmed over or left out altogether? I want to focus on these things in this series of blog posts because I believe it is the missing link that connects many biblical topics and events.
