The first and main message of Christianity is to be saved. We are saved by confessing that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9-10). The actual foundation of Christianity is to believe, that is to have faith in God and our Lord Jesus Christ….
Habakkuk 1:2-3 2O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear?Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save?3 Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong?Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. In chapters 1 and 2, Habakkuk is having a conversation with the Lord. He…
We all have fears sometimes, but it is what we choose to do with it that counts. The Bible tells us that God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). So, when fear comes, we need to use that power and sound…
It is so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that He has abandoned us. There have been numerous times where I have heard people say that they don’t feel God’s presence anymore. They feel like God is far away from them. They feel like God has abandoned them. But the Bible tells…

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – Psalm 103:2 The Bible tells us on many occasions ‘to remember’. What are we to remember? We are to remember what the Lord has done, who he is and what he desires of us (Deuteronomy 8:1-2; Deuteronomy 8:11-20; Joshua 1:8). But does…
Isaiah 5:1-7 – Parable of the Vineyard 5 Now let me sing for my greatly Beloved [Lord]A song of my Beloved about His vineyard (His chosen people).My greatly Beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile slope (the promised land, Canaan).2 He dug it all around and cleared away its stones,And planted it with [a]the choicest vine…
I listened to this song so many times this week, and it started me thinking about Jireh, my provider. Abraham did not hold back anything from God, he was willing to give even his son’s life, and God provided and blessed him. Genesis 22:12-17 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad,…
Isaiah 51:1-3 “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord:look to the rock from which you were hewn (cut or carved), and to the quarry from which you were dug.2 Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you;for he was but one when I called him, that I might bless him and multiply him.3 For…
