Imagine one second you’re here on Earth going about your business. And then, in the twinkling of an eye you’re in the heavenly places with God. Would that be the coolest thing or what?! Sound silly? Sound far-fetched? Or ridiculous? Well, I’ll take that kind of silly, far-fetched, ridiculous notion any day of the week. Because…there is a God in heaven, and He does … Read the rest…

A Glorious Body
You can live forever, in paradise with your Creator, in a glorious body. So don’t worry so much about the body you have now which only lasts a little while. Pardon the abrupt way I jumped into this Biblical topic. But I just wanted to be sure you’re awake for this eye-opening information. Are you aware that you’ll get a glorious body when you’re … Read the rest…
Let Us Eat And Drink
Maybe you’ve heard this: “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die”. Or maybe you’ve heard another version: “eat, drink, and be merry…for tomorrow we die”. And “let us eat…” comes from the Bible. Did you know that? Paul wrote that first version in 1 Corinthians 15:29-34. He was talking about the effects of denying the resurrection of Jesus. He was saying that … Read the rest…

You see…it’s like this…since I was thirteen I’ve been agreeing with the notion, and perpetuating the idea that Jesus was (and is) a real person. I’ve told people how He suffered a horrible … Read the rest…
The Reality of Faith
I have faith. Faith in God, in His Son Jesus, and in the Holy Spirit. But if these three don’t truly exist, my faith is in vain. So, the question arises…can I know they exist? I mean…really know? Well, the Bible shares the story, from several perspectives, of the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus. If that story is true, then He is the … Read the rest…
Pursue Love
In 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 the Apostle Paul goes in depth on the spiritual gift of tongues. My New King James Bible divides this passage into 4 sections…prophecy and tongues…tongues must be interpreted…tongues a sign to unbelievers…and…order in church meetings. On the surface it can seem a bit difficult to discern what Paul is talking about. But I believe all 40 verses are summed up … Read the rest…
