In Exodus 34:14 we read, “You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.” That’s pretty plain. The Bible boldly not only declares that God is jealous, but also that one of His names is Jealous! But is that […]Read More

Let’s establish something from the beginning–as a Christian, you have the right and authority to be free from depression. God has given you His armor, and you can use it to stand against the strategies of the enemy (Ephesians 6:10-18). If you put on God’s armor and pray, Satan has no chance!

Psalm 91:16 says, “With long life will I satisfy him, and show him My salvation” (NKJV). The Bible has a lot to say about God’s will concerning our life here on the earth–how we are to live and for how long. God has a good, long life planned for us. But without that revelation, we […]Read More

Proverbs 3:9 says, “Honor the LORD with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase” (NKJV). The dictionary defines first fruits as “the first agricultural produce of a season, especially when given as an offering to God.” (See also Genesis 28:22; Leviticus 27:32; Hebrews 7:2, 4). There’s something spiritually significant about giving […]Read More

The truth is, God did not make angels and man imperfect. God created them to have a choice. And that is where the opportunity to choose against God entered in. To really understand this, we must begin by examining God’s desire in creation. God, who is full of mercy, created man and angels with the […]Read More

To fear God is not to be afraid of Him. In fact, 1 John 4:18 says, “Perfect love casts out fear” (NKJV). The Bible tells us hundreds of times to “fear not” because fear and terror come from the devil and cause torment (1 John 4:18). But the Hebrew translation for the word fear in […]Read More

As we celebrate America’s independence today, many may ask this question. Contrary to the arguments, a Christian nation is not one in which all citizens are Christians, nor do the laws require everyone to adhere to Christian theology. Rather, America is a Christian nation because Christianity shaped and made her what she is today. According […]Read More

Total immersion requires an investment of time. If you’re looking for a big renewing of your mind, our suggestion is 30 days.
