When Peter saw Jesus walking on the water, he wanted to try it out for himself. He set foot on the water and began to walk. Then, rather than focus on Christ, he saw the waves and the storm around him which caused him to sink. How many times have we asked God to let… Continue reading Focus!

Choose Wisely
I've seen an illustration of this using a rope. If eternity were a long rope, then just the tip of that rope would be our lives here on earth. Yet our actions during that time are the deciding factors of our eternal destinations. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:23 that although we may be allowed… Continue reading Choose Wisely

He is the… Continue reading One and Only

We walk with Christ, we've seen His hand… Continue reading Do you believe?
Bridge To Heaven
I've often heard people say there are many roads to heaven, I'm sorry if this doesn't sit well with anyone, but that's wrong. The Bible is clear, the ONLY way into heaven is through Jesus Christ and the salvation He offers. His death on the cross bridged the gap that sin wedged between us and… Continue reading Bridge To Heaven
