Bible Verse of The Day – 1-31-26

Romans 5:8 (NKJV) 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Jesus didn’t die for us because we were all doing the right things.

He didn’t die for us because He saw that we were all good people.

He didn’t come because He thought, aw they’re so obedient, let Me do something nice for them.

No. He did it while we were all sinners. He did it when we were in our worst state. He did it because He knew He was the Only way.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

We needed Him if we were going to overcome our sinful state.

His motive for saving us was LOVE. He came for us.

1 John 4:19 (NKJV) 19 We love Him because He first loved us.

Jesus Christ loved us first even in our awful state.

Cry out to Him today, walk with Him, and find everlasting life through His redeeming blood that was shed for us on that cross! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-24-25 – When God Goes Silent

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the mighty name of Jesus! 

Most of us have experienced God “going silent” on us at one time or another. 

This seems to happen often when we are facing trials or difficult times. 

So, what do we do when this happens? 

Well, this just happens to be the topic of our latest video, When God Goes Silent. 

In this video we teach about the times in our lives when God appears to go silent, leaving us wondering if we have been abandoned, and how we should handle these situations. 

We hope this video will bring you hope and encouragement, as well as new understanding that changes the way you deal with this in your own life. 

Please click here to watch the video now.

We love you all, and we hope you enjoy the rest of your day, walking in God’s peace and strength. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-20-25

Romans 8:38-39 (LSB) 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Life can be hard. Sometimes it seems like we barely get past one dilemma, and another one comes crashing down.

Sometimes we make choices that we question.

We spend our waking hours looking backwards, wondering if we could (or should) have done something differently. And maybe if we had, we would not have ended up in the situation we are currently in.

And we beat ourselves up, over and over again, blaming ourselves for the mess we are in.

And then we begin to question whether God could still love us because of the things we have done.

And sometimes it may seem that God has gone silent, abandoning us; leaving us to wallow in painful solitude in our darkness and misery.

But the truth is that this solitude and silence is not a byproduct of God abandoning us. He does not stop loving us because of the things we have done.

If there is one constant in life, it is God’s love.

It never changes. It is more powerful than our finite human minds can comprehend.

And it is that love that never fails; never faltering because of a choice we made or a trial that we are facing.

Never let the enemy, or your mind, convince you that God has left.

Does He go quiet at times? Yes.

But does He ever stop loving us, or will He cast us aside because of our choices?

Never.

So, what do we do when we have messed up, and we feel like we have blown it for the final time and we cannot possibly be redeemed?

We go to Him. We repent. We bare our souls before Him. And we worship Him, even in the deafening silence.

And we lay our cares and shortcomings at His feet.

And then we let Him work in our heart to propel us past the darkness and condemnation that the enemy has blanketed us in, looking expectantly to Him for His peace once again; that peace that surpasses all understanding.

And we watch as he delivers us as only He can do.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-25

Romans 11:17-18 (NKJV) 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Let me state right up front that I am not a tree farmer. Nor am I an arborist.

I know truly little about trees except for the fact that they have branches, some grow exceptionally large, and most grow leaves on them!

But during my lifetime I have heard little tidbits about the practice of grafting branches from one vine or tree into another tree.

And that small, grafted piece of tree attaches itself to the adopting tree and begins to grow as if it was always part of that bigger tree.

Beyond that, I know absolutely nothing about it.

Unbelievably, though, this topic is Biblical and has great spiritual implications.

Let me explain.

Jesus spoke of Himself in John 15:5 as the vine and said that we are the branches. He then stated that if we abide in him (stay attached to Him) we will bear much fruit, but apart from Him we can do nothing.

Very plainly stated!

But Paul, under the inspiration and leading of the Holy Spirit, expounded on this more deeply in Romans.

In the two verses above we see that some branches (Jews who rejected Jesus Christ) were broken off (separated from God due to their unbelief).

And in their place, we being wild olive trees, (non-Jews who have put their faith in Christ) have been grafted into the tree where the original branches (Jews) were broken off. And we partake of the root and the fatness (richness and nurturing) of the olive tree.

This can be a bit mind-twisting to sort out and make sense of. But it is important that we do so because it gives us a stronger, deeper understanding of some of the deeper aspects of our faith, and of the love of God.

Knowing these things helps us develop a deeper appreciation for the love, mercy, forgiveness, and favor that God displays to us, His grafted-in wild branches.

Let us also remember the words of Jesus, when He emphatically stated that if we abide in Him, we will bear much fruit, but without Him we can do nothing.

Thank you, Father, for grafting us into Your tree 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-25

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

You mean everything to God.

You are probably thinking, “you don’t know what I have done. I have done some really bad things in my life. I have done things that I am very ashamed of.”

“I am not worthy to call on His name. My life has been one mess after the other. And I still can’t get it right.”

“I have committed much sin in my life how could I ever ask God to save me?”

To this, we would say, God knew what we would do before we even did it, and He still sent His only begotten Son to save the world.

Don’t let what you DID affect what you so desperately need to do today.

Confess your sins and give your heart and soul to Him.

We have all made terrible mistakes, and some have been deliberate. Not one of us is perfect and we never will be.

If you truly want salvation, call out to Him right where you are.

Dear God in Heaven,

I believe You have sent Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to save me from my sins. I ask for Your forgiveness for the things I have done in my past, and I need your Salvation in my life today. I ask in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, you are now His child. Your sins have been washed away. You are a new creation in Christ!

You have been given eternal life.

Draw close to Him, through prayer and reading His word daily.

We always recommend you start by reading the book of John, and then continue through the New Testament from there.

We are here if you need anything at all. Feel free to call or write us anytime of the day or night. You can reach us easily by simply replying to any of our daily emails.

Welcome to the family of God. We are rejoicing with you and the Angels in Heaven!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-13-24

Romans 5:8 (NKJV) 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

This is one of the most profound statements in the entirety of the New Testament.

Why would I say that?

Because it is a statement that demonstrates and proves God’s love for even the vilest of sinners.

It does not matter what a person might have done; how black their past might be. God loves them.

That love was demonstrated by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross; the death that makes it possible for any human being to be forgiven and redeemed, made new in Christ.

And that love for them is what sets people free from the consequences of sin through forgiveness, upon simply asking and believing by faith that God is who He says He is, and that Jesus died for our sins.

That statement is also the proof that we have to offer those who might question whether God can really love the vilest of sinners.

We can offer our own testimonies of what God has done for us, but God’s word is the proverbial icing on the cake, proving in God’s own word His love for humanity as a whole, and the redemption available to each of us.

So, if you are ever having doubts about God’s love, or if you are having a conversation with someone who swears that God could never possibly love them, remember this verse. And offer it to those in doubt about God’s love.

It just may be what turns a heart toward God and brings them to redemption in Christ.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-30-24

John 1:11-12 (NKJV) 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

Because of the love of God, which we discussed yesterday, we are offered the privilege of becoming a child of God.

God’s incredible love for humanity was on full display by way of the arrival of Christ on earth, and the ultimate sacrifice that He made for you and for me on the cross.

His blood that was shed offered redemption for everyone by way of complete atonement (redeeming payment) for our sins.

That perfect, holy blood paid the debt for the sins of all humanity.

Because of this, we can be grafted into the family of God (see Romans 11:17-18), becoming His children, as mentioned in John 1:11-12, above.

Many have the misconception that all people are God’s children. His word clearly shows this is not true.

We are all His creations, but we can only call ourselves His children if we have accepted His offer of redemption by recognizing our lost condition, seeking His forgiveness, turning from our sinful ways (repenting) and putting our faith in Christ as our Savior.

While this may sound like a complicated process to walk out, it is something that can happen in a matter of mere seconds.

In a matter of seconds, we can cross over from death to life.

We need to understand that this is representative of spiritual life, not natural life.

Jesus taught Nicodemus that we must be born again if we wish to inherit eternal life and enter the kingdom of God.

John 3:3 (NKJV) 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

When we are born again, we begin a new life as a child of almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth.

We should also understand that the shedding of Christ’s blood does not mean everyone will be saved. It means that all of humanity can be saved.

But many will reject that opportunity, choosing instead to continue living in their sins.

Let’s talk more about this tomorrow.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-22

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

I often think of how much He loved this world; that for each one of us, He gave his only Son. Can we all agree together that God loved us tremendously?!

When you give up your most precious gift for those who don’t deserve it, what kind of love is this?

This is a love that is everlasting, sacrificial, free and unconditional. This is the highest form of love.

It is called Agape love! A love that, without God in us to show us, we cannot know or understand its power.

With this agape love, He took what He deeply loved, His most precious gift, Jesus Christ, and delivered Him up for us.

Romans 8:32 (NKJV) 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Love is where it all began and where it will all end. All this hate in the world will not win. All the evil that we are witnessing this day will not win.

God has already Won this battle.

His plan for victory has already occurred. And through His most precious gift to us all, His love will continue to shine bright and leave hate and evil in their rightful place; defeated!

Can we get an AMEN today, children of the Most High God? For we have already won! It’s love that wins every battle. We need to press forward in His “Agape love”.

1 Corinthians 13:8 (NKJV) 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-30-21

1 John 3:1 (NKJV) 1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

I am so humbled today in reading this verse, knowing the love that our Father has bestowed on us.

This means that those who belong to Him, those who have put their faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, are called children of God.

It’s amazing that He went through all of this for us, and still many have not accepted it. So many have not even considered what He went through to offer us the opportunity to become His children.

When we have been provided with a way to become a child of God, who would reject such a blessing, such an honor, such an answer to all of our problems?

Don’t reject the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Receive the truth today. Repent of our sins and become a child of God this day.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-19-21

John 13:35 (NKJV) 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Love is powerful!

It can turn things around in a heartbeat, so to speak.

Jesus tells the disciples to love, and by doing so it will reflect back on Him. And those that see us moving in such a way will know that we are His!

Isn’t that what we all want? We want the world to know we belong to Him. We want the good and pure things we do to be pointed back to Jesus. After all, it’s because of Him that our hearts can love in such a deep and moving way.

Love is the reason why God sent His only Son to this earth for us.

Now, why can’t that be our only reason to live?

If we would get the right attitude in our heart activated, together we would make a better world to live in.

We would make a huge difference and it would be contagious.

Where does it start? Right here with us.

Let us make a decision in our hearts today to love better, to love stronger and to enjoy every bit of it.

Know that our actions will be a blessing to those we come in contact with.

People will know us and who we belong to by doing what Jesus showed us to do. It will point back to Him! Hallelujah, He is love!!

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-14-20

1 John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

If we are a child of God, we know what love is, and we know how to use it.

God is love. He forgave our sins and received us as His child when we put our faith and trust in Him.

We cannot deny that the moment this happened we felt loved in a way we’d never felt before.

Oh, the warmth of God’s love wrapping around us the moment we said, “yes, I believe.” It’s like no other.

How many can testify of the love we felt in that moment of being born again?

I was only a young girl. But I’ll remember what I felt that day forever.

We know love, people. It’s in us. We were born again because of such love!

How do we lay down our lives for our brother?

We love them with that same love. We love them when they’re angry. We love them when they’re hurting. We love them when they talk foolish.

It’s easy to love our brother when they are good to us and easy to love. But, try loving them when they are annoying, frustrating and sassy.

It won’t be easy until we let God’s love shine. And in order to do that, we have to humbly accept the fact that He loved us that way, even in our worst moments.

He did not turn us away or talk down about us. He loved us the same then as He does now that we are cleaned up and living a different life.

Don’t ever forget where we came from. I speak for myself, but I’m sure we all have a story.

Lay down our lives for our brethren. We need each other.

I’m talking to someone today; you’ve been fighting with your brethren for some time now, and it’s not getting you anywhere.

You are always angry and uncomfortable around them. It’s time to stop and turn this thing around. In Jesus’ name, forgive them and love them with the love God put in us.

It’s time to walk this out and lighten your load. Today you will be free as you love on your brethren in spite of how they are as a person. Amen.

Our prayers are with you.
