Anxiety and the Christian
Solomon wrote, “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad” (Prov. 12:25). In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus provides a good word to His people. There are many things in life that consume are thinking and can weigh us down. The pressures of these things can cause a strong sense of fear, anxiety and worry. As citizens of the…
Fearing God puts our Worldly Fears to Rest
hdwallpapersdesktop.com – under the Creative Commons License I was recently reading Luke 12:4-7 and was struck by an aspect of our relationship with God that we maybe don’t talk about enough… fearing God. This doesn’t seem to be spoken of much in Christian circles, as more often than not, people tend to focus on the “God” of love always being there for us and…
Stranger Evangelism
Photo credit: Susan NYC, some rights reserved I’m always amazed at the capacity we Christians have for justifying our own sinfulness and apathy.

We Don’t Walk Alone
Life can be frightening when we don’t know what lies ahead. However Jesus challenges us to trust in Him and follow obediently, knowing that He will hold us afloat in the storms of life that come our way.
The Middle of the Night
We all know what it’s like to get that phone call in the middle of the night. This night’s call was no different. Jerking up to the ringing summons, I focused on the red illuminated numbers of my clock. Midnight. Panicky thoughts filled…
Don’t let Worrying Hold you Down
Worry… surely one of the basic banes of humanity. How much time and energy do we spend worrying? Where does it get us? What good does it pose?

A Christian’s faith in God is not based on what we see with our eyes, but trusting in the character, love and faithfulness of our Lord.
