What do you think of this statement, “Do good, God’s glad. Do bad, God’s mad?” If you believe this is a true statement and it is consistent with the New Testament, you are wrong. The truth is, God’s opinion of us in the New Covenant is not based on our performance, but on

Can fish live in the ocean and not be totally immersed in water? Can a person be in Christ and not be totally immersed in God’s love, grace and favor? Impossible!

Do you know what God’s answer to all your weaknesses, shortcomings, and inadequacies is? It is His grace! Listen to what the Apostle said in 1 Cor. 15:6: “I am what I am by the grace of God.” Now, think about this. This was the Apostle’s testimony: “I am not what I am today because […]

What would you do if the odds against you accomplishing an important goal were 450 to 1? Would that cause you to faint? Would you have the faith required to proceed?

I used to believe that the primary purpose for Jesus coming to die for sinners was to qualify them to go to heaven to be with God when they die. Now, this is one of the many blessings we receive through our faith in Christ. And I look forward to experiencing heaven when I die! […]

“Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”(Hebrews 4:16 NASB) Under the Old Testament, entering the presence of God was a very risky and fearful thing.
