Our Battle Cry

"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow or crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4).


Oh, what a friend you have in Jesus. He stands beside you now, and always.

To see those flag-draped caskets off-loaded from military cargo planes can make the toughest person want to cry because we know somewhere there is a grieving mother or dad, a young widow or widower and perhaps a child who now has lost their parent. We’ll never forget these brave men and women who have given their lives in battle for our freedom. Throughout history these brave souls have served our country proudly. Each one has made an extreme sacrifice so we can remain free. God bless them! And still, out there this battle for freedom rages on. Let us continue to pray God protects them keeping them safe, and that He allows us to see them come home alive and well.

Losing a loved one because of some war or from a battle with some sickness or disease can cause us to suffer tremendous grief. Grief is a lonely, emotional process caused by personal loss. It involves feelings of deep sorrow, extreme sadness, suffering and anguish. It makes us feel devastated by the loss of our loved one. We can also experience grief over a change or some disappointment in our lives. Not everyone suffers grief in the same way, nor is it predictable. It can return over and over long after the initial shock of our loss has diminished. Some of us will never get over certain aspects of our grief. Yet, grieving is a healthy process. Grieving is a natural process we must not deny. Let us take comfort though knowing God will help us recover.

The One who sits on the heavenly throne at the right hand of God promises; “Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21:5). We are comforted in our grief because, Jesus is our hope -- He is our salvation. Because of Him our faith sustains us, and we know death has lost its sting. The grave has lost its victory!

“Blessed be, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all or tribulation” (1 Corinthians 1: 3, 4).

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
