COMFORTING WORDS FROM GOD TO LEAD US THROUGH VARIOUS CHALLENGES WE ARE GUARANTEED TO ENCOUNTER

Below are a handful of powerful verses which offer us biblical assurance that, no matter what kind of challenge we face in this life, our Creator is always by our side: WHEN FACING TEMPTATION : 1Co 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.   WHEN FEELING FE AR : Psa 23:4  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. WHEN EXPERIENCING TRIBULATION : Mat 11:28  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Mat 11:29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  Mat 11:30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.    Rom 8:28  And w...

GOD'S STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN OUR WEAKNESS

No matter who you are, at some point, if you live long enough, life will bring you to your knees. Doubt will flood through your mind, tears will flood from your eyes, and you may even feel disconnected from God and struggle with holding on to your faith. THAT'S OK! We are all in the same boat. To live in this world is to experience tribulation, and during those times when our spiritual heads feel like they are on the verge of dropping beneath the water's surface, a powerful helping hand is always there, waiting to pull us from the water. Persistence and mental toughness are wonderful traits, and certainly necessary for surviving this world. That said, with the right variables, even the mentally toughest among us can be brough to their knees in the blink of an eye. It may be a crippling or terminal illness; the death of a loved one; addiction, or just an inexplicable feeling of melancholy that won't seem to go away.  It's so easy to feel smug in our own self-sufficiency ...

TO REJECT GOD IS TO LIVE IN DENIAL OF REALITY

In these times, it is very in vogue to reject the existence of God and instead embrace secular humanist views. From the time children enter school, they are constantly bombarded with propaganda meant to lead them down the path of atheism and ultimately, spiritual death. The long-time pushing of macroevolution in the classroom as a scientific fact is at the top of that list.  The belief that life originated from absolutely nothing and came about purely arbitrarily is about as far from provable science as one could go, and yet those who arrogantly reject the Creator of all things portray themselves as being on the intellectual high ground. They flippantly dismiss the best-preserved historical documents in antiquity - the bible (particularly the New Testament) - as just a bunch of made-up fairy tales and lies and  will criticize anyone who observes creation and concludes that it could've only come from a Creator. All the while, embracing the ridiculous notion that life came about...

EVIL IS OFTEN CONCEALED UNDER A VEIL OF EMPATHY AND LOVE

 Over the last few years, societal emotional stability has been replaced by uncertainty and chaos. Every direction you look, historical norms once considered black and white, are being replaced by endless shades of grey. While it feels like much of this has come out of left field, that certainly isn't the case. The wicked intent has been there all along, but only recently has the evil become confident enough to step out of the shadows and into the light. One of the best examples is the attempt being made is the constant pushing of transgenderism by government; the educational/indoctrinational system; corporate America, and the propaganda machine, better known as media. Make no mistake, this is a coordinated systemic effort, with the ultimate goal of eradicating gender norms to defy God - something the psuedo-gods of this world absolutely love to do. The bible is very clear on the fact that we are created male and female:   Gen 5:2  Male and female created he them; an...
