“The way you store up treasure in Heaven is by investing in getting people there.” ~Rick Warren
Mr. Warren’s quote is truly a great one, and one of my favorites. It helps us stop and think about what is really important in this life and what is really worth investing in. What is the one thing in this life that we can take with us to heaven? Our friends and family!
It’s interesting to stop for a second and put life in this world in perspective, compared to the life we will be spending in Heaven. I have heard some good illustrations of this where a speaker will roll out...

After I became a Christian in 1996, I grew hungry for three things: my Bible, church, and Christian media. I had grown up listening to the world’s view of life, and it rarely mentioned forgiveness. However, the word kept surfacing over and over again as I studied Christianity. But I wasn’t angry with anyone—or was I? My parents had divorced when I was one year old. I do not remember questioning why or even caring that they had divorced at all. It was easy to accept the facts since they had been divorced for as long as I could remember. However, the Lord gently revealed to me that in my...

That's when it hit me. I don’t need to be a apostle, prophet, or pastor to build up the body of Christ. We are all called to serve Him. The Great Commission applies to all of us. So what is your ministry? How can you use your own God given talents to help others?

There was a time when I use to count the number of days I attended Church. I absolutely dreaded missing a Sunday because I knew someone would want an answer for my absence or worse: I’d return the next week feeling ashamed that I had “put myself above God”.
As a new believer I didn’t know much about “being a Christian”, but I knew the basic promises of God: peace, joy, and freedom. From the time I could conceive the idea of salvation; I began to seek the Lord. I developed a new life in Christ. Friends and family witnessed a transformation in me and some eve...

Some say that you can’t help who you fall love with, but what do you do when you fall for someone who doesn’t share your religious beliefs? Do you try to convert them or just agree to disagree? This article discusses falling in love with someone who isn’t a Christian.
Follow your heart
When entering into a relationship, seek the Lord’s guidance and follow your heart. But what do you do if the one that makes you happy doesn’t share the same religious beliefs. Let’s start by looking at what the Bible tells us about having an unbelieving spouse. I have heard ...

I spent some time today lurking around on Facebook. Viewing the pages of some of my Christian friends and some of you who have “Liked” this page. It was quite surprising! Statuses about prayer and their walk with God, mixed in with statuses about drug use and promiscuity. Liked pages about religion along with Liked pages showcasing half dressed women. What are you telling the world about yourself and what it means to call yourself a Christian?
Sadly, the actions of some Christians has given the world a bad view of a Christian is. Think of the man who goes to Church, then comes hom...

It is easier to dwelling on what we don’t have, rather then being thankful for what we do have. We are not promised a perfect life, or even an easy life, but we are promised something so much better!a

Although trust is just a five letter word, it carries a load of meaning. It has the ability to make or break a business, a marriage and even a person. Its power cannot be understated. Where trust exists between two business partners, a business can thrive. Where trust exists in a marriage, that marriage will prosper, joy will flourish, love will blossom.
It’s fundamental to our success. It’s fundamental to our very existence.
And yet many of us struggle with trust. Life has hurt us…people we have loved let us down or even betrayed us, wounding us. We guard oursel...

There are many lessons to be learned by reading the Bible. The greatest charge we are given in the Bible comes directly from Jesus Christ. After he is crucified, buried, and has risen from the dead, he meets with his disciples on a mountain in Galilee before he ascends into Heaven. This is where Jesus gives his disciples (and us) The Great Commission.

Each year there is a lot of talk about new year resolutions. Loosing weight is by far the most common resolution made, followed by quitting smoking, better finances, staying fit, and falling in love. These are good resolutions to make, and can help improve your life, but are these the things that should be on the top of our list?
The Bible teaches us to be healthy and not do anything that can harm our body (1 Corinthians 3:16-17), be wise with our finances (Luke 16:11, Proverbs 13:22), and tells us about the importance of love (1 Corinthians 14:1). With the preceding verses, it could be easy ...
